Asus is the company that started the netbook craze when it unveiled its Eee netbooks a few years back. The little machines were soon on the market in droves and Asus rode the notoriety of the netbook to bring its other notebooks and gear into the mainstream in America.

The latest notebook unveiled by Asus at CES is called the ROG G73Jh gaming notebook. The machine is styled after the Lockheed F117 Nighthawk fighter with a matte black exterior and angular heat exhausts. The notebook runs the latest Intel Core i7 processor and can be fitted with up to 8GB of RAM.

Other features of the machine include 1TB of storage, ATI Radeon HD5870 mobile graphics, and support for EAX 4.0 and CMSS 3D surround sound. The screen is 17.3-inches and has a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
