Gaming Laptop: Asus G2




The Asus G2 Gaming Laptop is a combination of a high powered gaming rig with the portability of a notebook all under a kick-ass looking design. Obviously aimed for the gaming community, the G2 has the 512mb ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 GPU under it's hood. Toting a 17# LCD display with a native resolution of 1440x900, This Laptop doesn't skimp on power and quality.

Battery life runs at around 110-114 minutes when playing games and 94 minutes when watching a DVD movie.

Connectivity is not an issue, with 802.11a/g/draft n wireless LAN, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth and 56k modem connections (full list below). It comes along with a backpack that has a sleek design with the ASUS gaming logo on it. Weight is about 4.4 kg (w/o Bag).

But priced at around $1600 - $2000, Gamers might think twice if this is worth the amount of cash you would have to shell out.
