Dual Hard Disk
The G70 has also got enough drive bays to accommodate two hard disks, for a combined mass storage capacity up to 640GB. Not only is this more than ample storage for one's media library, it is also an additional option to separate gaming content from other media and files.
Dual Core CPU
Powering the G70, is a choice of Intel Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Extreme processors, the latter being Intel's highest performance CPUs.
For user friendliness, the G70 features ASUS Direct Console software with which you can manage the G70's many features and even select CPU performance levels between Standard, Turbo and Turbo Extreme.
In concert with ultra fast dual core processor, dual graphics engine and dual hard drive storage, the G70 has been tested to achieve 3DMark 2006 score of 8,116 (Vista Ultimate 32-bit, 1024x768) and 8,208 (Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 1024x768).
Dual Display
The G70 is equipped with a 17" WUXGA (1920x1200) Full HD display alongside its 8ms response time to eliminate ghosting, as well as a dual lamp for high-brightness visual comfort.
Supported by a secondary screen that displays critical system information, in-coming email and message alerts and personalized messages ensures a disruption-free game-play when gaming in full screen mode.
Dual Sound Power
To complete the high-definition suite, the G70 is equipped with audio features including, Dolby Home Theatre and Altec Lansing speakers.
A total of 4 speakers are built-in and strategically placed at 4 corners of the notebook for the best 3-D surround effects. In addition, the front speakers have flashing lights that change colours with sound volume variation for an animated enhanced game ambience.
Dual Support Hardware
The G70 is not only about power, it is also in making that power useable. Gamers who are accustomed to operating high performance desktop systems will appreciate the G70's dual cooling fans. Added convenience is provided by dual mode touch pad that also provides easier access to multimedia controls as well as additional hotkeys (including a four-way key) that can be configured for a tailored gaming experience.
