The stunning hardcore styling is alive to the pulse on the street and the G Series is hot to the latest gaming trends – leading the way into new computer gaming frontiers.

Total Gaming Solution
The latest NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT gives the G Series unprecedented and blistering graphics power, promising a smooth, stutter-free visual experience – the best imaginable 3D performance on the move. This experience is further bolstered by the G Series' high quality displays. Not only do they boast a quick response time, hence delivering sharper images without ghosting, their screen sizes are calibrated for optimal performance, the best example of which is the G50's world's first 16:9 golden ratio 15.4" screen size.

In addition, the G Series notebooks feature double SATA hard disk drives – with the G71 offering up to 1 Terabyte in capacity – letting you load up more so you can make sure you get plenty of action whilst on the road. You'll be able to play more games, watch more videos and store more music. Last but not least, the CPU LevelUp feature gives you an edge with its range of performance modes that deliver a performance boost when it is most needed.

G Series notebooks are also equipped with full-sized keyboards that are designed to allow complete control over your gameplay. Gaming hotkeys give you an edge over your opponents. As you dig deep into the game, the G Series even comes alive with fancy LED lighting effects along the notebook's side while the back changes colour according to the fan speed!

Second Display for Instant Messaging

Asus today released the G50V, a 15-inch gaming laptop that appears to be a high-powered, low-priced affair.

The Asus G50V is packed with many internal bonuses including a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 processor, an Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT 512 graphics card, and 4GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM. Additional features include a 2.0-megapixel webcam, a DVD burner, plus a 15-inch screen with 1,680 x 1,050 resolution.

There is also a small OLED secondary display that sits above the keyboard to display the system status, Instant Messenger, and even e-mail alerts. The entire unit weighs in at a light 6.2 pounds.

You will have to fork out $1,699 for the above mentioned model, but those who want to rock on to Blu-ray movies will have to fork out an additional $200, sacrificing the 500GB hard drive space for two 200GB hard drives instead.

Asus has updated its G-series gaming laptop line with the G71, a notebook that sports Intel's new QX9300 quad-core processor. The computer comes with a 17-inch Crystal Shine display, an NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT GDDR3 512MB graphics card, and can be customized with up to 4GB of system memory and 1TB of hard disk space. Asus is also throwing in a 2mp integrated webcam and a Eee Stick—some casual gaming dongle that works a little like Sony's Eyetoy. Price and retail date are not yet available
