There are those who want laptops which are just ordinary black slabs that won’t grab attention, then there are those who want custom paint jobs and decals. Finally there’s the camp that wants something which is different by design, something that’s truly striking and good looking. It’s to those people that the Asus G70 is probably going to appeal.

The screen is only 1,440x900 - far less than the 1,680x1050 minimum, or even 1920x1200 we were expecting. In fact Asus includes a sticker on the casing which claims "Full 1080p HD" that's obviously complete codswollop. The graphics cards aren't even G92 cored, they are 8700M which was high-end 18 month ago, and even then wasn't considered fast. The hard drive space is smaller (there are only the pair, not three) – in fact, everything pales in comparison next to the Kobalt.

There are advantages though. The screen has a smaller native resolution than the Kobalt, which should prove to be less demanding on the hardware, so the scaled down rig shouldn’t matter so much and you’ll be able to up the ante graphics-wise to compensate. Surprisingly Asus compensate for the core hardware by including Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n wireless and even a DVDRW Lightscribe and BD-RE drive combo! The Asus G70 is also considerably cheaper than the forbiddingly expensive Kobalt.
