Asus Laptops

Asus G60J

Packing a quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU, the 16-inch G60J gaming laptop rockets along at a speed that puts greased lightning to shame. It's a pity the screen isn't of a higher resolution, but the G60J is hard to fault otherwise, making light work of even the most demanding 3D games

Asus UX30

Asus' designers clearly had Apple's MacBook Air in mind when they created the 13.3-inch UX30 thin-and-light laptop. It bears a steep price tag and its battery life could be better, but it's a gorgeous-looking specimen and its ultra-low-voltage processor makes it a strong performer too

Editor's rating 7.0

Asus UX50V

The thin and light, 15.6-inch UX50V is an absolutely gorgeous-looking machine, with a stunning screen and excellent keyboard. Your mind won't be blown by this laptop's processing power, but its battery life is impressive and it will definitely inspire jealousy among your friends

Asus W90

Asus might not be the first name you think of when it comes to gaming laptops, but it has just sent us the fastest portable 3D graphics-pusher we've ever seen. With 6GB of RAM, a Blu-ray drive and a huge 18.4-inch screen, it’s an astonishing performer

Asus F70

An unusual 17.3-inch screen is intended to make the Asus F70 laptop stand out from the crowd, with a 16:9 aspect ratio that's perfect for watching movies without seeing black bars at the top and bottom of the picture

Asus G71V

The Asus G71V is designed to be the ultimate desktop-replacement laptop. It uses the first quad-core processor designed for portable machines, has a whopping 1TB of disk space, a Blu-ray combo drive and a high-end graphics card. It's unnecessarily ugly, but brutally quick

Asus U2E

Like its predecessor, the Asus U2E is unashamedly sexy -- it's finished in leather, after all. Available in black or mocha brown, this ultraportable is updated with a built-in DVD rewriter and plenty of memory. It also boasts a fingerprint reader to keep your documents safe

Asus W5Fe

Asus has a track record of releasing innovative laptops, and its latest endeavour takes advantage of SideShow -- one of Windows Vista's most dramatic new features, which lets you look at pics and listen to music using an external second screen

Editor's rating 8.3

Asus Lamborghini VX2

The Asus Lamborghini VX2 is lovingly styled on its namesake, even down to the "vroom vroom" noise it makes on startup, but this isn't at the expense substance -- there's plenty of grunt in the engine, too

Asus U1

It's tiny, it's shiny, it's got leather, it's got Vista -- what's not to love? The Asus U1 offers Core Duo performance in a petite package, along with a lovely 11-inch screen, an insignificant 1kg weight and the brand-new Windows OS. Graphics aren't a speciality though, and it is pricey

Editor's rating 8.3

Asus G2P

The ATI-based G2P is Asus' larger model in its gaming series, and it features both a hybrid TV tuner and a 17-inch 'ColorShine' display. It's well-designed and well-built with some useful features for gamers, including plenty of flashing lights and highlighted home keys, and the Core 2 Duo CPU ensures it can handle heavy tasks

Editor's rating 7.9

Asus G1

Laptop-loving gamers are often stuck with portable systems that are nearly as bulky as desktops, so Asus has created the industrial-flavoured G1 in an attempt to provide gaming power in a smaller package. The G1 has a 15-inch screen, a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and a GeForce Go 7700 graphics card

Asus W6Fp

This latest member of Asus' 2006 leather collection is wonderfully portable and packs some of the newest Core 2 Duo gear from Intel. It's not the cheapest laptop around, but a combination of style and substance make this an attractive and reliable option

Editor's rating 8.5

Asus V1J

Asus' V1J laptop is a solid all-rounder. Some may struggle with the unconventional keys but designers will welcome the image integrity offered by the non-glossy screen. An integrated fingerprint reader offers security for those working with sensitive data

Asus W3J

The W3J is Asus' attempt to create a fast, capable laptop with a small chassis and low weight. It might not look it on the surface, but it packs enough grunt to rival, and indeed outperform, larger, more expensive laptops
