The good: Vast 1TB of storage; good performance; decent design.

The bad: Ships with an HD-DVD drive (though some regions will be receiving Blu-ray drives).

The bottom line: The M70 proves that laptops needn’t be poor relations of desktop PCs, particularly where storage is concerned. It’s a well-designed, well-equipped system that will really appeal to those with large file collections.

For multimedia usage - the target application of this laptop - Asus has also developed a new interface. The laptop’s touch pad turns into a control deck for playing around with volume, play/stop/pause and so on. For next-gen security, the Asus M70 features a facial scan to confirm the user’s identity, coupled with a fingerprint scanner.
