Short Review: Gaming Power with the Asus G70S-A1 Notebook

Since gamers are part of the more demanding bunch of consumers when it comes to system performance, Asus decided to step up and meet their demands for a gaming system that has amazing performance. This need was answered through the new architecture and design of the Asus G70S-A1 with its Multi Dual-Engine – a duplex structure that also has its own major system components. As techie as it may sound, the Asus G70S-A1 notebook has a dual graphics engine, dual fan systems and also dual hard drive bays. This, coupled with a high definition system for audio and video, the Asus G70S-A1 ends up setting a brand new standard when it comes to mobile gaming in one very portable package.

Other Strong Features of the Asus G70S-A1

To run it down, the Asus G70S-A1 notebook also has a 2.0 megapixel web camera, an 8ms and dual lamp LCD panel, a touch pad with multimedia mode and a stellar Dolby Home Theater system. You will find four Altec Lansing speakers on the four corners of the Asus G70S-A1 notebook in order to enhance the overall 3D surround sound effect. Upon purchase of this unit, it is surprisingly pleasant to note that aside from the notebook and the battery you also get a gaming mouse and a gaming backpack. Clearly, Asus spares no expense when it comes to encouraging the gamers to try this laptop out.

Perfect as It Is

The Asus G70S-A1 is perfect because of the stuff that makes it run on the inside. With its Intel Core 2 Dup T9600 2.6 GHz processor, you have one of the most reliable processors around. Its 4 GB DDR2 system memory makes running several applications a breeze. And because gamers (as well as regular laptop users) like space, you will have four hundred gigabytes of hard drive for all your games, music, videos and files. With this, you will no longer need an external HDD to which you will store your additional files so that you won’t slow down your awesome game play in Quake 2 or Diablo. Perhaps another noteworthy thing about this is that the built in nVIDIA GeForce 8700 GT video card makes for a smoother game time, too. Since the Asus G70S-A1 might have the tendency to run (which usually happens for computers of this specification), there are two fans that work twice as hard in order for it to cool the entire system down (which it does).

Mammoth Screens – Yes, Plural

The main display of the Asus G70S-A1 is seventeen inches and is 1920 x 1200 WUXGA in resolution. Aside from this, you also get a smaller screen that allows you to view the system information, your incoming mail, personalized messages you may have made or messages you get during the course of your game play (which, obviously, you will get to as soon you finish your level).

The Bottom Line

Your game play is so much better with the Asus G70S-A1 laptop. It is not something you will want to bring outside the house and work with in a coffee shop, but it is definitely something you will want to spend many hours with cooped up in your room as you get engrossed in one amazing game.
