Asus Demos N75 Notebook with Bang & Olufsen Audio

Asus will soon update its multimedia notebook portfolio with a new 17.3-inch laptop, known as the N75, which will sport the same Bang & Olufsen ICE Power high-fidelity audio setup that was introduced in the company's previous N-series units.

The multimedia notebook will feature a redesigned chassis sketched by the same David Lewis as well as two display options, a HD+ 1600x900 resolution panel and a Full HD 1080p screen, available with both matte and glossy finishes.

Under the hood, the Asus N75 can be configured with a wide range of Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs from the Core i3, i5 and i7 product families as well as with up to 8GB of DDR3-1333 system memory.

The fast Intel processors are paired with a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 555M graphics core based on the GF106 architecture which features 144 unified shaders, a 590MHz GPU clock speed, and 1GB or 2GB of 900MHz DDR3 frame buffer.

This also includes support for the Optimus technology, which automatically switches between the integrated Sandy Bridge GPU and the discrete graphics in order to save battery life.

As far as storage is concerned, Asus customers can choose between three 5400RPM and two 7200RPM hard drives ranging in capacity from 320GB to 750GB.

The standard version of the N75 is configured with a DVD burner, but this can be upgraded to feature a Blu-ray combo drive or a writer.

Apart from the usual connectivity features that find their way in most of today's notebooks, the N75 includes a pair of USB 3.0 ports as well as an HDMI 1.4 video output.

Just like the last year N-series models, the N75 is equipped with a Bang & Olufsen ICE Power high-fidelity audio sound system paired together with Asus' own SonicMaster technology.

Asus hasn't provided any information regarding pricing or the the release date of the N75 notebook. (via Notebook Italia)
