Laptop Pimp Wishlist – ASUS 1TB Laptop comes with 1 Gigabyte of storage!

Here’s ASUS 1TB Laptop that comes with 2 whammo 500MB hard disks and not too chunky at 8.8 pounds.\ And while spec-wise the M70S is a loaded baked potato (2.5GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of RAM, Blu-ray, TV tuner, and an ATI Radeon HD 3650), the machine is buggy in day-to-day use. Applications installed only after hiccups, strange lags erupted almost at random, and baffling messages asserting DRM errors popped up when we did something as simple as playing back a standard DVD.

Power through the issues and you’ll find the M70S offers exceptional performance, though not record-breaking by any stretch. $2,399 isn’t a terrible deal for the surfeit of goodies you get, but gamers with cash to burn … Continue reading →
