Asus has launched an ultra-portable high-definition multimedia laptop featuring Blu-ray technology.
The Asus M70 packs a 1TB hard drive, which the firm claims can store over 350 full length movies.
A 17in high-definition screen responds to ambient lighting to deliver "the best possible experience" and avoid eye strain, according to Asus.
The Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array has an enhanced Full-HD definition of 2.3 million pixels at 1,920 x 1,200 resolution.
Sound is delivered by four built-in Altec Lansing speakers and a subwoofer, and a dual-mode multimedia interface touchpad doubles as the tracker pad.
Powering the unit is 4Gb of memory and an Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 at 2.5GHz.
The laptop comes with a Blu-ray copy of Batman Begins but there is no word yet on pricing.

Do you agree?
Ultra portable?
I do not agree a 17" notebook can be called ultra portable, not even if it's thin. I can't fit it in my backpack. Maybe if it folded, could be.
I do believe Asus is testing the market, in the very low end, very high end, and trying to build a brand in the meantime. Quite interesting case study once we see the outcome.

NO M70 IN THE UK FOR A WHILE
You have said the model is on sale now? The Asus M70SA-7U011G was supposed to come out July. It was scrapped by asus at the last minute. It replacement with the 2.6Ghz CPU according to 3 asus sources is either July/August/September.
So good luck getting one after reading this review.
The Asus G70 is better because you get the same screen, better graphics and a Blu-Ray RW.
