    Just saw this story over at el-reg.

    I was unaware of this feature, I guess this is a first for laptops and a nice added bonus for those looking at getting a new 17" ASUS lappie

    The Dolby Home Theater thing is just marketing-speak, not a feature.

    DD-Live for the A7J is interresting, however. Could be a market for people with a digital 5.1 PC-speaker setup at home for gaming. Not many notebooks with analogue 5.1 outputs and none with DD-Live, so at least it's a unique feature.
