Hands on: ASUS G73J Series Republic of Gamers notebook

A 17in gaming notebook with a Core i7-720M CPU, two 500GB hard drives, 8GB RAM and ATI Mobility Radeon 5870 graphics

The ASUS G73J is one of the most powerful gaming notebooks on the market, yet it won't cost you a fortune; it costs $2699. Under the hood is a quad-core Intel Core i7-720M CPU with Hyper-Threading, which means you have eight virtual cores at your disposal. That's not all -- you also get 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics adapter and two 500GB, 7200rpm hard drives. It's built for speed and aimed squarely at gamers, but anyone who wants a powerful notebook should be on the look-out for it.
