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.

Yeah, so.
I have had my Voodoo for over a year with 2 Pioneer blu-ray dvd burners, 17.8" 1920x1200 and a faster Opteron server processor.
Mine may only support 2gb of memory, but I have dual 200gb drives which I will soon upgrade to dual velociraptors, giving me 600Gb
Asus also mainly uses Lg screens, so it will not be much different than any other 1920x1200res screen.
Just a FYI, the M70 uses two Hitachi 12.5mm thick drives.
