Conclusion
The Asus W90 is truly one of the most powerful laptops you can get your hands on. The performance is tip-top and comparable to a lot of desktops. The computer has a lot of great features making it fine to work on. A huge display, huge resolution, huge performance, Blu-ray, plenty of inputs/outputs and surround sound are just some of the things that make the W90 what it really is – a monster! The accessories are top of the line as well and you get all the practical items you’ll ever need.
The computer also has few negative aspects, some of which by their nature come with the more positive aspects. The weight and mobility could not do much worse: 5.5kg for the computer alone is a lot to lug around. The battery life is also exceedingly short, but what else could you expect with such hardware? The speakers have a tendency to resonate when playing at maximum volume and the fan noise is also quite noticeable if you’re not listening to music or something to drown it out. The computer also comes with some less important features which could easily have been skipped in favour of a lower price. Many will probably wonder why an infrared transmitter was included, and I personally have little faith in the functionality of the secondary OS which could really benefit from some tweaking with regards to resolution and user-friendliness of configuring the wireless network.
All in all though the Asus W90 is probably one of the most powerful desktop replacements on the market, with a performance that exceeds most others. The size of the computer truly makes it a pleasure to work on, and there are few limits to what it can do. Windows runs smoothly and there’s barely any wait for anything. The price is actually impressively low compared to what you get…compare it to Zepto’s Hydra A17 and it’s a bargain. £2,200.00 is money well spent for a computer that can do so much, and it certainly is an obvious choice if you want the best of the best.

Pros:
Incredibly high performance
Good sound (though not at maximum volume)
Display with a good resolution
Ease of use
User-friendly software
Plenty of accessories

Cons:
Fan noise
Too low resolution on the secondary OS
Battery life
Weight
