Introduction
There are, broadly speaking, two types of laptop. There's the ultra-thin, stylish kind that goes for lightweight and power-efficient hardware, sacrificing power for ergonomics, and then there's the brick-like powerhouses that really only are standard laptop PCs squeezed into a tiny case. The first kind is next to useless for any kind of serious graphics or gaming work, and the others are only suitable for Superman-style, steel reinforced, heat resistant laps because of their weight and power consumption. Gaming, or power computing, on the go simply was not a realistic option - until ASUS released the W2V Notebooks. PCI-Express powered graphics, a mighty shiny 17" display, and a decent weight of just over 3kg make this a powerhouse on the go - with style: a hitherto unknown combination.
Powered with the latest Intel 915PM chipset, with a Intel mobile 770 processor (90nm) clocked at 2,13GHz, and dual channel DDRII 533MHz 1GB memory, along with an ATI X700 GPU, the W2V provides good good 3D performance and great desktop stability. Worship the pictures.
The laptop comes with a full range of multimedia applications to show off its excellent screen and graphics chip, as well as some serious antivirus protection, and cutting edge burning and image conversion software, for a true multimedia powerhouse experience.
