ASUS Mobile Home Theater
Another movie-focused laptop is the W2PC Mobile Home Theater, newly announced by the German division of ASUS. The high-end variant (the 7M016C) is equipped with an HD DVD DL drive and a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo, as well as a 17-inch 1080p screen, and an HDMI port. The videocard is a Mobility Radeon X1700, and European buyers can tune into either analog or DVB-T TV. Memory includes 2GB of RAM and a 160GB SATA hard drive. The 7K017C cuts this down to 1GB of RAM and a 120GB drive, and further strips out the HD DVD drive and 1080p support. It does, however, come with a Super Multi 8x DVD drive. At present, both laptops are on sale only in Germany and Austria.
