ASUS G70S Gaming Notebook Review |
|
Gamers are the most demanding class of computer users. Not every PC can satisfy a hardcore gamer while notebooks were long considered by them as totally unsuitable for normal gaming. Yes, notebooks have lots of limitations due to the limited size of the case. It is just impossible to pack a top-performance configuration into such a small volume. However, notebook makers have been progressing in this field, too. About two years ago ASUS created two gaming notebooks G1 and G2 that were based on revised chassis from two other models. The G1 and G2 were not exactly perfect. They could only satisfy casual gamers because modern recourse-consuming 3D games didn’t run fast on them despite the use of the latest generation of mobile graphics cards available then.
This year the Taiwanese company tried to push the bar higher. At CES 2008 two new notebooks were introduced in the gaming series: a 15-inch G50 and a 17-inch G70. The G50 is simpler while the G70 represents the most interesting in the series – you will see what in this review.
