ASUS W90 18.4inch Notebook - A True Desktop Replacement - TechAmok
ASUS W90 18.4inch Notebook - A True Desktop Replacement - [hardware] 04:37 PM EDT - May,18 2009 - post a comment Techgage.com posted a review on the ASUS W90 18.4" Notebook. This baby offers incredible gaming ability (with an X2 ATI card), a Quad-Core processor, a massive display (18.4") and a whole lot more.
Clearly, a huge notebook like this isn't for everyone. It weighs a ton, has a massive build and has horrible battery-life. But when your on the go often, and refuse to use a lesser notebook or a hotel computer, this is truly the next-best thing to bringing your desktop PC with you. It's incredibly powerful, offers insane gaming ability, on top of other great features such as Blu-ray.
PROS
* Quad-Core processor for all
your multi-threading needs.
* HD 4870 X2 graphics card is an
incredible performer.
* Huge, bright display (18.4, 1920x1080).
* Blu-ray drive, on top of HDMI output,
makes this a great HTPC.
* Build quality is top-rate... very
sturdy chassis.
* Unique design... desktop motherboard,
and 6GB of RAM.
* Impressive "surround sound" speakers
for a notebook.
* Touch media keys are a nice "touch",
although sometimes clunky.
CONS
* Battery-life. Rather, what
battery-life?
* The notebook is almost as heavy as I
am. And that's heavy.
* System temps can increase a lot while
gaming, but primarily in the back.
