ASUS G70 -The First Gaming Notebook With NVIDIA's SLI Technology

Previous Next
8:22 AM - 02/29/2008 by Tom's Hardware CeBIT Team

ASUS is presenting its new highlight in the notebook gaming arena with the G70. This is also ASUS' first notebook to support two Nvidia 8700M GT graphics processors that have 1 GB of dedicated video memory at their disposal. Two hard disks offer more than sufficient capacity and provide optimal transfer rates. When little 3D power is required, one of the graphics chips shuts itself down, coming back online when more rendering muscle is required. Equipped with a HD display with a resolution of 1900 x 1200 pixels, an integrated TV tuner, a remote control, stereo speakers, and an HDMI interface, the ASUS G70 is the perfect companion for high-res games and movies.

Next, ASUS will also be showing the U2 designer notebook with a 32 GB SSD (solid state disk) at its stand, which will be under the motto "Looking ahead 2008". The black 11" U2 is also ASUS' first subnotebook to use an SSD drive instead of a conventional 2.5" hard disk. Compared to standard HDD, modern SSDs allow for faster access times, reducing boot times noticeably. Also, the SSD module is less susceptible to bumps and physical shock than a spinning platter in a conventional HDD.

Based on an Intel Core Duo ULV CPU, the U2 sports such security features as a TPM and finger print sensor and comes with an 11.1" WXGA display with power-efficient LED backlighting, as well as three USB ports and a webcam. Despite the fact that it also has an integrated super-multi drive, the entire unit weighs only about 1300 grams.

Hi All,I have just taken delivery of my Z500 and first results seem promising, After trying it out in my garden I played the footage back on my 47" HD LCD TV the pictures were stunning every detail including zoom footage was truly amazing, I think the owners manual could have been improved on and a little more detail would have been better, I have mine on 30 day appro, and no way is this going back.

I am a TomsHardware fan since 2003 and I will be forever.
I don't comment a lot but since I am right now, just wanna say that quality of some reviews are poor, reviews should go deep into details. I am not saying all reviews are poor... just some of them.

I got the 2263UW Samsung 22" Monitor for the hot design, sacrificed 10000:1 and 2ms and got 8000:1 and 5ms which is average in my consideration. Other Samsung monitors have better specs than this.

I have used Samsung, BenQ, ACER and ViewSonic LCD monitors and I like Samsung most in terms of visual quality.

The 2263UW didn't have a lot of reviews on the internet but I just went and grabbed it hoping for the best. I got a Samsung A panel which is supposed to be the best, however, I am really disappointed in the depth of color, the colors are not deep enough. I tried correcting it but I am still having problems. The monitor's menu is full of predefined settings which is really confusing.

I didn't test the web cam nor speakers. I didn't test the HDMI.
Touch sensitive buttons are reactive enough and aided with beeping sound but you can't tell which button you are pressing so you have to look at them. When you change a setting, the monitor lags for about 1 second like it's saving so the touch buttons will not react.

Don't expect a lot from the included software.

I am really disappointed in the color depth as in my previous experience, Samsung had rich colors. I will be looking for any new calibrations that give better colors.

My suggestion, don't buy this monitor, get another one.
I had great experience with Samsung, I am planning to get a new Samsung monitor soon if this one didn't meet my expectations.

Regarding the BlackLight Bleeding, most monitors bigger than 20" may have some, I have 1cm of bright black light bleeding at the top of the screen and some faded blacklight bleeding at the bottom of the screen.
