Asus M70 Laptop Reviewed: 1-Terabyte laptop stores a lot, but super heavy and buggy

The Asus M70S is the first laptop computer with a full TB of storage space standard, courtesy of two 500GB drives spinning away inside its ginormous, 8.8-pound chassis.
The good: Surprisingly good battery life (over 1 hour, 40 minutes) for a 17-inch rig. Dual hard drives allows for mirroring (and perfect, instant backups). Precise loud speakers, including bottom-mounted subwoofer.
The bad: Very buggy even under minimal load. Extremely dim LCD, even at max brightness. Awkward case design requires punching a difficult-to-reach button to open the lid.
The bottom line: The M70S offers exceptional performance, though not record-breaking by any stretch. $2,399 isn’t a terrible deal for the surfeit of goodies you get.
Price: Starting at $2,399.
