Asus will unveil a laptop that should satisfy the storage needs of all but the biggest of power users: the M70S comes with 1TB of storage space.The machine, due for release at next week&#39;s Consumer Electronics Show, is targeted at the fast-expanding multimedia sector of the laptop market and packs dual 500GB drives from Hitachi, expected to be announced later Thursday. The drives can be organized in a RAID 0 configuration, where data is distributed between the two drives to provide a performance boost on a single drive, or as RAID 1, where data is mirrored on each drive to provide redundancy in case of drive failure. In the latter case the storage space visible to the user drops to 500GB.The Asus M70 comes optionally equipped to make use of the extra storage space with a digital/analog TV tuner and video recording capability. An optional remote control is also available. The explosion in digital video is one of the main reasons why consumers are increasingly demanding as much storage space on their laptops as on desktop computers.To watch all that video, the laptop comes with a 17-inch widescreen display at either WXGA+ (1,440 by 900 pixels) or WUXGA (1,920 by 1,200 pixels) resolution depending on the model. It should be noted that the former screen won&#39;t be able to show a high-definition image, which is 1,920 by 1,080 pixels, at full resolution.An Intel Core2 Duo processor lies at the heart of the laptop and models will be available with the T7700, 7500, 7300, or 7100 versions of the chip. Other features include an ATI 3650 graphics card, web cam, fingerprint reader, and 1GB of memory.Asus will also launch the M50S laptop at CES. The computer is targeted at the same multimedia segment of the market, but attempts to satisfy a niche for a high-performance laptop that&#39;s slightly smaller than the typical 17-inch models.The M50S machine comes with the same processor selection but has a 15.4-inch widescreen display at either WXGA (1,366 by 768 pixels), WXGA+ or WSXGA+ (1,680 by 1,050 pixels) resolution.

Taiwanese notebook PC vendor Asustek Computer plans to launch its 1.25 kilogram, battery-friendly U2E laptop in Taipei next week, the company said Tuesday.The new laptop, wrapped in either black or brown leather, is built for power-savings with an LED (light emitting diode) backlight behind its 11-inch LCD panel, and a 32GB SSD (solid-state drive) instead of a hard disk drive (HDD).LED backlights use about 10-15 percent less power than the CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) backlights that are currently used in most laptop PCs. SSDs save power as well, because unlike HDDs, they do not contain any moving parts.Asus isn&#39;t disclosing pricing details until the launch ceremony next week, nor which markets will be first for the device. Normally, Asustek products hit Asia and Europe first.

(InfoWorld) - If the Internet radio with iPod port and laptop PC built for microprocessor overclocking that Asustek Computer showed off on Monday are any indication of things to come at the Computex Taipei 2007 trade show, then be prepared for a few surprises. Asustek designed the C90 laptop PC for overclocking by adding extra heat sinks and other cooling systems to ward off overheating, the company said at a news conference ahead of the Computex trade show, which opens Tuesday. It plans to sell a barebones version of the device worldwide so users and companies can add whatever microprocessors, graphics processors, memory, and optical disc drives they want, as well as offer its own laptops aimed at the high-end market, meaning the price could top $2,000 on some models. Users looking to lower their laptop costs can add a desktop PC processor to the C90. The cooling systems ensure the laptop can handle desktop microprocessors, which are normally less expensive and more powerful than processors aimed at laptops. The major drawback with a desktop processor in a laptop, however, is that it uses more power, so battery life would suffer. The C90 will debut worldwide in mid-June. The company also showed off two Internet radios that operate from wireless Internet connections. They don't need to be hooked up to a PC. The main difference between the two is that the Asustek Internet Radio 3 (AIR 3), comes with an iPod dock on top. When users plug in an iPod, they can listen to their favorite songs from speakers inside the AIR 3. The device also includes a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, allowing users to plug in flash sticks and listen to songs off them instead, according to Chris Yu, product manager at Asustek's digital home division. Despite the USB, the device will not play songs from digital music players other than the iPod, he said. The AIR 3 will launch in time for end-of-the-year holidays in the U.S. and Taiwan, Yu said, and cost around $400. The smaller AIR 1, which does not include an iPod port, will cost $200. Asustek also showed off two high quality PC Web cameras. These 2-megapixel cameras will be out at by the end of August in Europe, the Asia Pacific and Taiwan. They will launch in the U.S. next year. The difference between the two is that the one camera has an auto-focus lens. It costs about $20 more than the one without an auto focus lens. The company expects the cameras to cost between $90 and $110. The Asus A33 media player aims to combine a stereo receiver, DVD player and VCR (video cassette recorder) all in one. But it's not cheap. The media player costs $1,600, equipped with a Super Multi DVD (digital video disc) rewriter, a 320GB hard drive, a dual channel TV tuner, embedded amplifier and wireless (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11n) connections, and allows full HD 1080p TV recording. Asustek also plans to offer lower-end models and will produce the devices for partner companies, possibly requiring some specs to be changed. An A33 without the amplifier, for example, will cost under $1,000. "You have to offer dual channel recording these days," said Terry Huang, a marketing specialist at Asustek. "People may want to watch one show while they record another, or two others. Some day, we'll have to put 10 tuners on so people can record multiple TV shows." The A33 will be available in August in Taiwan and in September in other parts of Asia, Huang said. By the first quarter of 2008, he expects the company to launch its first high-definition disc player, likely a Blu-ray Disc device. "We prefer Blu-ray because the storage space is bigger," Huang said. The company hasn't put one out yet because the cost of such devices remains high and there aren't enough movies and other content yet available for the devices, he said.
