What is it: Widescreen gaming laptop with hybrid TV tuner

External display; games
CNET.co.uk judgement:
If your idea of a design classic is anything out of a Need for Speed body-shop, then the Asus G2P is right up your street. It has plenty of power and parts that light up just for the sake of it, however the graphics subsystem, while more than adequate, isn't the best we could have hoped for in a gaming laptop
