The Asus M70 is the most fully loaded laptop we’ve seen in a long while. Aside from its massive terabyte of hard-drive space (enough to hold a few hundred movies or a few hundred thousand MP3s), the multimedia system incorporates a Blu-ray drive and a full-HD display, plus an HDMI port, TV tuner, and five-speaker stereo sound. Given its full feature set, the M70’s $2,399 price tag seems like a steal, especially compared with the $2,499 Acer Aspire 8920, which offers similar features and an 18-inch display, but lacks the storage space and connections of the M70. A more casual media enthusiast could be satisfied with the HP Pavilion dv9700t, which offers similar features (though with a lower-resolution display, less hard-drive space, and no TV tuner) for nearly $500 less than the Asus. But the well-equipped M70 offers the ultimate feature set for film buffs, file hoarders, and others who want their laptop to serve triple duty as a computer, media library, and high-def home theater.

If watching Blu-ray movies is at the top of your “must have” list for a notebook, the Asus M70S should be a system you need to be looking at. The M70S offers a fantastic movie watching experience thanks to its huge, crisp display, excellent sound system and Blu-ray drive. You can also store an unbelievable amount of your own movies and music on the M70 too, thanks to its unheard of (on a notebook at least) 1 terabyte of storage space. The systems only major drawback is the annoying media controls embedded in the touchpad. Not only are they difficult to control, but they include an area that disables the touchpad if you touch it accidentally, which was highly annoying.

The M70Sa-X2’s cover uses inlaid patterns similar to Toshiba’s Fusion design, in which linear patterns are topped off by a layer of gloss. The 17-inch widescreen is spectacular. It, along with the Gateway P-7811FX, is among the few systems that offer a 1,920-by-1,200 resolution in this price range. Granted, it’s not as awe-inspiring as the 18.4-inch screen on the Acer Aspire 8920G, but it’s still classified as 1080p. The 8920G, on the other hand, exemplifies the latest trend in screen sizes with the 16:9 form factor; hence its resolution is 1,920-by-1,080. The dimensions of the M70Sa-X2 are large enough to accommodate a numeric keypad next to a very nice, full-size keyboard.

The display is exceptional as it supports full HD resolution ie. 1920 x 1200. Coupled with a Blu-ray drive, it will come it very handy while watching HD movies. The display has an ambient light sensor for automatic adjustment of the display brightness, sweet. If that was not enough, the display incorporates Asus’ Splendid Video Intelligence Technology for automatic adjustment of brightness, contrast, color saturation etc based on the application you are running. Webcam sits pretty on top of the display.

The M70SA-X2 is able to provide such a high level of performance thanks to the Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 dual core mobile processor matched up with 4GB of DDR2 memory. This lets it power through just about any application that is run on it. Add to this 500GB of total storage space and you can store a large amount of date on this system. The performance could be better if ASUS took the two 250GB drives and put them in the RAID 0 array for extra speed.

One feature we found highly annoying is the touchpad’s built-in media controls. What’s most annoying is the “mode” area, which disables the touchpad and turns on the media controls, is in the upper right-hand side of the touchpad. Our finger naturally frequented this area a lot since that’s where your finger goes when you are closing a window, and it’s annoying to constantly have the touchpad accidentally become disabled. Enabling it is as simple as tapping the “mode” area with your finger, but we’d highly recommend Asus move the “mode” area somewhere else, or just put a dedicated “media mode” button somewhere.
