Asus has just announced the UK's first quad-core gaming laptop, claiming it's the fastest gaming laptop that money can buy. It's got an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 processor running at 2.53GHz, 4GB of RAM, a Geforce 9700M graphics card, and a pair of 250GB hard drives in RAID-0. The beast packs a 17" screen, with 1920x1200 resolution, and a smaller 'VFD' display too, which can show email notifications and framerates while in-game. It's got a 2 megapixel webcam, 802.11n wireless, HDMI and eSATA ports, 2.1 speakers and a subwoofer, and 'programmable chassis lighting'...
