Two hard drives of 500 GB have been installed for a total of 1000 GB running at 5400 rpm. It was therefore the quantity but not the operating speed. As the G70s, it has a combo Blu-ray drive / DVD burner. Asus has also incorporated into its gaming laptop all necessary accessories and outputs such as a 8-in-1 memory card reader, an HDMI output, e-Sata, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi n. The TV antenna is optional.

The sound is provided by 4 Altec Lansing speakers and a subwoofer. For gaming, the main working tool of the G71v, Asus has opted for a single 9700M GT, the same graphics card as the G50v. On this point we can be disappointed. A SLI of two GeForce would have better performance in gaming. It doesn’t mean that the price is lower. This gaming laptop is available at a price of $3,500. It comes with a 8-cell battery, the G71v is lighter than the G70S (4.8kg), it weighs 3.9kg.

The 2 x 2 GB of DDR2 (800 MHz) operate in Dual Channel, which optimizes the performance of RAM. For the storage, we have a hard drive of 320 GB at 5400 rpm. A hard drive of 7200 rpm would have been valuable and even an SSD option. For the optical side, it has a double-layer DVD burner.

The graphics card is correct. It’s a GeForce 9700M GT equipped with 512 MB of video memory. With it, it may not be possible to operate all games in native resolution but the latest productions should still operate effectively. For mobility, Asus has taken a 6-cell battery lighter than the 8 or 9 cells. The Taiwanese manufacturer has even found a place to put a numeric keypad attached to the keyboard of this G50v.

For the sound, it’s Altec Lansing that has been chosen. There are a speaker system that supports Dolby Home Theater. Finally, it’s a gaming laptop of 2.8kg which suggested for a price of $1,700.

Tony — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:35:44 +0000

Asus has just introduced its gaming computer with a Core i7 processor, the new Intel architecture. This desktop PC is called CG6190.

Two processors can fill the socket 1366 for the Core i7, one is basic processor and the other in Extreme Edition version. We don’t known how many gigabytes of storage this gaming computer will be equipped with the basic configuration. However, Asus states that the motherboard is capable of supporting up to 12 GB of RAM DDR3 scattered in over 6 locations.

It’s the same for the storage which can, however, be equipped with several hard drives and SSD to achieve the enormous capacity of 4 TB, or 4000 GB. Owned by the Republic of Gamers range of the manufacturer, this gaming computer obviously has a high-end graphics part. Like its other components, it’s not exactly clear between which Ati or nVidia models consumers can choose. Nevertheless, we can already be sure that the gaming computer will have the tri-SLI and CrossFire.

To run this computer, we need a good power supply. Asus therefore does not skimp on the quantity and throws 2000 Watts in the computer. No price announced…
