Asus G71 Short Review and Specs

Posted on December 2, 2008 by andrew

All the U.K. readers out there can get excited about the Asus G71, which is being touted as one of the bast gaming laptops out there.

The specs sure make it sound that way. An impressive Intel Core 2 Extreme running at 2.53GHz is more of a desktop processor, so it will provide the power. And the Nvidia Geforce 9700M GPU will power the most recent games just fine.

Overall, this is a desktop that you can move around. This is a serious gaming machine and I would be happy to have one to play around with, that’s for sure.

ASUS Bamboo Laptops get Official!

Posted on September 2, 2008 by Laptop Pimp

ASUS, after months of deliberation and leaked photos of the new sustainable “green” bamboo laptop, has finally announced the arrival of ASUS Bamboo series.

FYI, bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable wood out there plus it feels good. (I even personally own a bamboo flip-flops, which I swear by)

Bamboo has been used for centuries over in Asia for furniture, architecture, you name it. I think bamboo will also act as a great heat-a
