| Asus G70s ROG
As you can imagine, the G70s is a massive notebook where the aluminum and the aggressive lines take the leading role. As secondary player we find the lighting and the hardware features. This model will leave everybody surprised, we can like it or not but what it is true is that will make everybody look too it as we do when we see a sports car on the street. It is a notebook with a spectacular look, I would say it’s the double voluminous it was the old G2, and with a weight that could reach easily 5Kg. In this model we won’t find any piece of carbon fiber, not even the wrist rest as in the G2, but this way it has a more uniform design and the plastic in "bee panel" style used gives it a more smooth and attractive touch. The aluminum dominates the notebook anyway; both the screen and the upper part of the chassis are ended in aluminum. It is a notebook with a very aggressive design but with a higher "architecture" than most of notebooks of this kind.
Touchpad with multimedia functions integrated
What stands out from the G70s is the 17" screen with a WUXGA resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. It is like having a 24" screen in a compressed format. These kinds of displays are nothing new; we can find 15.4" ones also at this resolution, but it is a good way to give that high resolutions to systems more compact than desktop ones. To reach these resolutions in a desktop computer, it is normal to need 23" or 24" displays, apart from some Lenovo 22" displays with these resolutions. This kind of resolution allows us to watch high definition videos also at resolutions up to 1080p.

Looking to its general features we can find an Intel 965 chipset with 45nm Core 2 Duo processors, concretely our test sample is equipped with the T9500 at 2.6GHz with SSE4.1, 4GB of DDR2 800 Memory, 2 200GB and 7200rpm hard disks signed by Seagate and in a RAID 0 system and an SLI system built with 2 8700GT graphic cards with 512MB each one in MXM format. As you can see, it is a computer with high features that tries to bring the performance of desktop computers to a more compact and spectacular format. We will see later n our performance tests what this notebook can do, but there is still much to say about the G70s.
