Asus Quad Core Notebook

Asus Introduces the World's First Quad Core Gaming Notebook

Asus's G71, the world’s first quad core gaming notebook specially designed for gamers.

It comes with a 17’’ Crystal Shine High Brightness display, Intel's new QX9300 Core 2 Extreme processor, an NIVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT GDDR3 512MB graphics card, 4GB of DDR3, up to 1TB of HDD (500GB x2), 2Mpix web camera, Bluetooth V2.1, and Blue-ray writer.

Taipei, Taiwan, October 6, 2008 – Consistent with the tradition of breaking new grounds, ASUS is proud to present the world's first Intel® Quad Core™ Gaming notebook—the G71. Specifically designed with gamers in mind, the G71 is the first in ASUS' planned series of Quad Core™ gaming notebooks and an addition to its expanding G Series. The G71 delivers a total gaming experience in a highly portable package, with an emphasis on audio clarity and stunning graphics performance.

The World's First Quad Core™ Gaming Notebook

The ASUS G71 is the world's first Quad Core™ gaming notebook, powered by the new Intel Core™ 2 Extreme processor QX9300. The removal of the Overspeed Protection means that the G71 is capable of extreme performance through overclocking, pushing the envelope of computational processing power and thus allowing users to multitask extensively.

Superior Gaming Performance

As a dedicated gaming notebook, the G71 sports an impressive array of high performance components, such as a 17” Crystal Shine high brightness display with a quick response time of 8 ms, powered by a NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT GDDR3 512 MB graphics card. The G71 also features up to 4 GB of DDR3 1066MHz system memory coupled with dual hard disk drives of up to 1 TB (500 GB x 2)—enabling users to enjoy multimedia entertainment and games while on the move.

Direct Console 2.0

Direct Console 2.0 is an all-in-one gaming control interface that allows users to select from three processor speed settings depending on their mode of usage. The same interface also includes controls for Direct Messenger, enabling communication utilities such as Instant Messaging (MSN™), Meeting and E-mail notification. The gaming hotkeys enable users to launch their favorite games with a single touch and execute in-game commands on-the-fly. The chassis of the G71 also features a programmable lighting system, which lights up and blinks during in-game events. These lights can be configured through the Direct Console 2.0, providing the user with a pyrotechnic-like ambience while in the game.

Direct Messenger

Users can now read their emails and communicate via Instant Messaging (MSN™) through the Direct Messenger. Acting as a secondary display, it displays email notifications, instant messages, battery reserves and system loadings in real-time even during a game in progress. This allows users to keep in touch with their friends and family while multitasking between various applications.

Entertainment and Style on the Move

The G71 incorporates several entertainment features that promise to give users a gaming experience like none other. Altec Lansing speakers equipped with a subwoofer deliver excellent sound reproduction, further complimented by Dolby™ Home Theater. A 2.0 megapixel webcam allows users to communicate visually through Skype™ or MSN™; while a dedicated game keyboard layout provides them with strategically placed movement keys on a full-sized keyboard—granting them quick access to their in-game inventories and allowing them to issue commands in the shortest time possible. These features combine to provide an entire host of gamer-centric features for users to immerse themselves in a world of audio and visual entertainment with style.

Fun for Everyone

The G71 may have the sheer power to sate the needs the most serious of gamers, but it is also very suitable for those who prefer to play games on a more casual basis. Attaching ASUS' innovative Eee Stick—a simple plug and play gaming solution that allows users to interact with the game by translating their hand motions into corresponding movements onscreen—for example, will instantly transform the G71 into a mobile gaming console. The easy-to-use and family-friendly Eee Stick—which works with all of ASUS' notebooks—consists of an Activation stick, a Navigation stick and a 2.4GHz RF dongle. It has a broadcast range of up to 10 meters, allowing users more leeway for physical movement. Boasting three modes of operation, the Eee Stick can be used with a myriad of game genres, ranging from sports and shooting, to action and beat 'em up games.

Pimp Your Eee PC

EEE Pimp

Asus has added some accessories to its Eee PC range, but don't get excited: Most of them can be had from other sources, although Asus does include an extra feature: Ugly.

Now available are a USB mouse (1000dpi, various non-committal colors); a headset (white, three sizes of earbud tips and very much "inspired" by the iPod buds); a power adapter (multi-voltage, multi country) and a battery pack (big).

The battery pack is probably of the most interest. The Eee might be a low end machine, but still sucks juice

Asus Gaming Notebook

Your pray have been Answered....

Asus has released the G1 and G2, two laptop computers specifically designed with PC gamers in mind.

The difference between the G1 and G2 is only a matter of color and screen size. The G1 has a 15.4 inch screen with green Direct Flash lights on the side, while the G2 has red and a 17-inch screen. Both of them have a metallic, in mold decoration that prevents chipping. For gamers on the go, that is very important!

Internally, the G1 and G2 are very much alike as well. The only difference is that the G1 has WXGA/WSXGA color Shine LCD options and a 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce Go7700 graphics set, and the G2 has a WXGA display and a 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 card. Beyond that, they are pretty much the same inside and outside. You can choose from a vast array of Intel Core 2 Duo processors, up to 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, and up to 160 GB SATA hard drive.

These computers are ready to go wireless with 802.11a/b/g, as well as Bluetooth compatibility for linking with other wireless devices. Other features include Wireless Video Communication, which is a high resolution webcam and speaker built in the system itself that allow hands-free, wire-free communication and conferencing from one gamer to the other.

Another spectacular feature is the Interruption-free Live Information Update, which is an OLED side window that gives instant messages, system status, reminder alerts, and customized personal data that will assist the gamer with functions without taking away from the game.

Other features include a Light Scribe dual-layer DVD burner as well as a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam. It also comes with a plethora of ports including video output, an Express Card slot, flash card reader, and many USBs.

Believe it or not, the Asus G1 and G2 are available as sets, each one includes a backpack and mouse combination. Well, there is no word when these will hit the market, nor the price, but it sounds like this is a gamers’ “must have”.
