We recently had the chance to review an Asus gaming notebook with a mobile Core i7 within, and needless to say, we were rather blown away.

Frankly, hardly anyone has time these days to sit down and take a call at home, so we definitely don't have time to sit down,...

It's sort of funny. It's as if Asus read In-Stat's latest report before it even hit the presses.

Asus is no stranger to producing mighty NVIDIA-based GPUs, but the ROG MARS is something special. This limited edition card was first previewed a few months back, but most folks figured it was simply a proof of concept rather than a near-final card reader for shipment.

Uh, okay? We have to say, we're all about taking risks, and we greatly appreciate it when companies deviate from the straight-and-narrow in order to take a chance.
