G2K-A1: The Pinnacle of AMD-based Mobile Gaming |
 For those who want their premium gaming experience powered by Green, ASUS offers the new G2K-A1. This notebook offers everything that the legendary G2S offers, but throws in with AMD’s unique price/ performance value proposition.
The Price/ Performance Strength of AMD
Nobody ever said that AMD’s dual core TL 64 processor doesn’t tear through games and applications. Those who prefer an Intel processor can criticize, but this processor delivers top performance. And best of all, it does it at a discount. The G2K-A1 comes in priced at $1,699, compared to $1,999 for the G2S-A1. Added to this processing might is ATI’s flagship HD2600 256MB DDR3 graphics engine and 2GB of RAM for explosive gaming power.
  
The Gaming Experience
Sure the notebook can run all of the latest games in high resolution without a snag. But what gives G2 users an experience unlike any other is all the extras:
- Major visual impact is achieved when unsheathing this machine at a LAN party. Beautiful in mold decoration and lots of gaming style.
- An 8 millisecond response time gives gamers a tangible performance edge. 1920 x 1200 resolution and Splendid Video Enhancement Technology provide gamers a level of clarity and vividness that they probably haven’t experienced before. Spledid enables vivid images with better contrast, brightness, skin tone and color saturation.
- Dolby Digial Live sound flows through the G2K’s four integrated speakers or an external surround sound setup.
- The ASUS direct messenger OLED mounted above the keyboard allows gamers access to Email/ Outlook Meeting Notice/ MSN/ Phone message/ Battery / Clock or more while in full-screen gaming mode.
- Flashing sidelights activate when DirectX 10 or 9 is engaged. This awesome effect turns the excitement level up a notch. The feature can also be disabled for office use.
- A gaming keyboard with highlighted asdf and arrow keys makes it easy to stay in control. Because in a game, milliseconds count.
Top Recognition
The August 2007 edition of PC World named ASUS’ G2P the top desktop replacement, and their online review put it at the top of the power laptop category. The G2K has a different (more powerful) processor than the G2P had, but overall this is the same amazing machine.
