ASUS is already down with Sandy Bridge on the desktop side, but you
had to know the company would be finding room for Intel's latest in
it's mobile offerings, too. Notebook Italia has what looks to be solid
confirmation of four separate models, starting with a big honkin'
gaming rig, the G73SW. It has an Intel Core i7-2630QM processor, 8GB
of DDR3, Geforce GTX 460M graphics, USB 3.0, dual storage bays
(enabling mixing and matching of SSD and platter), and a 17.3-inch LCD
that manages the full 1920 x 1080 resolution. Price looks set to start
around $2,500. Also unveiled are four somewhat less gamer-oriented but
still might fast models, grouped in the N53SV and N73SV series. All
feature the same 2GHz processor and all have the new GeForce GT 540M
processor that was recently seen rocking Acer's 5742G, which will
drive either a 15.6-inch, 1366 x 768 display or the larger 17.3-inch,
1080p display depending on which model you go for. Prices on this
series are said to start at just $1,200 and go way up from there when
they ship in January.
