Game anywhere. That's the promise of the G2S-A1 from Asus. The main engine is a Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.20GHz and it is backed up by 2GB of DDR2 memory. But you can't really game if your screen can't handle it. The 17.1" LCD panel can handle resolutions of up to 1900x1200 for incredible detail that’s delivered by the GeForce 8600M GT GPU with 256MB of dedicated memory. So, yes it will handle your DirectX 10 games. For the ultimate gaming experience plug the notebook into your widescreen TV with the HDMI port.
Keeping you connected on the go and at gaming parties is important. That's why Asus included Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n wireless connectivity. There's also Bluetooth V2.0+EDR to round out the options. You could use the modem if you really wanted to. The Express Card slot lets you plug in a multitude of options including cellular broadband for anytime-anywhere connectivity.
Asus' Direct Messenger is an OLED display to the side of the keyboard that updates instant messages, system status and reminder alerts so nothing pops onto the main display at a crucial moment. The webcam, speaker and microphone let you have in-game communication with your team without the hassle of wires.
