ASUS M70 Review - PC Authority
PC Authority have published a review of the new ASUS M70 Blu-Ray Notebook. 'The M70 is a milestone for a couple of reasons. Firstly it's a powerful machine, with a Blu-Ray drive, but it doesn't break the $5,000 mark. At $3,699 it's expensive, but this is cheaper than what HD afficionados have paid in the past (up to $5,000 or more for Toshiba's Qosmio G40). Take into account Acer's $2,699 Blu-Ray 8920G and it's clear the cost of full HD is coming down, if slowly.
The M70 is also very, very fast - which you'd expect with a $3,500+ price tag. Under the hood is Intel's T9300 (2.5GHz) with 6MB cache, 4GB RAM. Graphics are taken care of by an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 (with 2GB in our test unit). The standout features are the two 500GB drives, for a whopping 1Terabyte of storage. You won't even need external drives with this.'
