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.
