I love this time of year, not because Christmas is over, but because the CES 2009 is just around the corner and therefore all of those goodies that have been holed up in some out of the way warehouse start coming light and you are not sure whether they are real or not. Take this prototype from Voodoo, it has been initial named the FireFly, comes with a seventeen inch display and 4.3 inch secondary screen. In addition, all of the extras that you would expect to find in a thirteen pounder gaming laptop, more details at the CES 2009.

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

You know, all my laptop problems have either been from lack of storage of lack of extra harddisk so I can install some proprietary linux OS for testing. 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.

Most troubling: Windows Vista only reported 3GB of RAM instead of the four we knew were present. Whether the hardware isn’t up to snuff or the M70S has driver problems than can be ironed out with an update or two was impossible to determine, but the issues were consistent throughout our testing. 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 →
