Asus N61 and N71 Multimedia Notebooks with SonicMaster Design

Asus announced the new N61 and N71 multimedia notebooks that come with Asus’ SonicMaster design for delivering unparalleled audio reproduction. Both models are equipped with Altec Lansing speakers and SRS Premium Sound.

Boosted by Intel’s Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processor, the N61 and N71 gets either NVIDIA GeForce GT240M or GT220M with 1GB of video memory and CUDA technology. They have up to 4GB of RAM, up to dual 500GB 7200RPM hard drives, DVD burner or Blu-ray DVD combo drive.

Asus N61 has a 16-inch 1366×768 display and the N71 has a 17.3-inch 1600×900 LCD screen, both with LED-backlighting. They will run Windows 7. The SonicMaster design features a dedicated resonance space arrangement that provides sound layering for crisp and crystal clear audio reproduction. This is achieved by utilizing a paper-foam cone design which dramatically improves the sound quality across the different sonic ranges, allowing users to hear every beat and rhythm being played. The high density foam improves the lower audio range, while paper softens the mid-range vocals, making it more subtle.
