ASUS has been blazing high-tech trails with its dreamy laptop designs. Those who know the ASUS moniker are accustomed to its sleek form factors and use of the latest technology trends. Take, for example, the ASUS U1F and S6F, ultraportable designs geared toward road warriors, as well as for flaunting. At the other end of the spectrum is the ASUS G1S ($1,550 street), a high-performance laptop that ASUS is touting as a gaming machine. I'm more inclined to call it a multimedia laptop, with an above-average gaming card. Still, it addresses ASUS's lack of retail presence, one of my long-standing complaints. The G1S can now be found at your local Best Buy for a very reasonable price.
