To give us all a break from the Eee PC frenzy, Asustek is giving us the skinny on their new gaming laptop which was first introduced during CEBIT 2008. This gaming rig called the Asus G70 sports “multi-dual engine” architecture, meaning its major components were built with duplex structure.

So first we have the G70’s dual graphics engine, make that two independent Nvidia 8700M GT graphics engines that work in parallel with each other through SLI technology. The G70 also has a 1GB GDDR3 dedicate physical memory and another 553/667MHz DDRII RAM. Next we have a dual hard disk with combined storage capacity of up to 640GB, that’s more than half a terabyte folks. Would the Asus G70 also have a dual CPU? Yes, and it’s a choice between two Intel Core 2 Duo or two Core 2 Extreme processors. Of course nothing could be sweeter than having a dual display to match those previously mentioned dual system features, right?  Equipped with a 17-inch WUXGA (1920x1200) full HD display, the Asus G70 boasts of an ultra-quick 8ms response time, supported by a secondary screen that displays critical system information, incoming email and message alerts and personalized messages. Yes dear readers, gone are the days of annoying alerts that pop-out of the lower right button of your computer’s screen.

Aside from all these dual system features, the Asus G70 also features a dual sound power with Dolby Home Theater and Altec Lansing speakers, dual cooling fans and dual mode touch pad.

Suffice to say that the Asus G70 is indeed a powerful gaming rig, even strengthened by other specifications that include; DVD Super-Multi Light Scribe drive with an option for a Blu-Ray drive, a 2.0-megapixel camera, optional Bluetooth V2.0+EDR and Wi-Fi 802.11/b/g/n.
