Asus is updating its gaming notebook line by refreshing the G71 with an Intel Quad 2 Extreme-powered CPU instead of the previously installed Core 2 Duo CPU. The updated Asus G71 aims to up the gaming laptop ante through a 17-inch LCD and a NVIDA GeForce 9700M GT 512MB graphics card, along with up to 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz system memory paired with the QX9300 Intel Quad 2 Extreme CPU. The G71 also comes with Asus’s proprietary Eee Stick that translates hand movement into onscreen controls in a Wii Remote-type fashion. Asus has yet to announce pricing or availability of the updated G71, but this CPU-bump might signal that the next wave of gaming notebooks powered by multi-core processors are coming.
