The W90Vp isn’t just an average desktop PC either. The system sports serious gaming PC credentials. For instance, the notebook is equipped with dual ATI Mobility Radeon 4870 GPUs running in CrossFire mode. Packing 800 stream processors and 512MB of VRAM, the Mobility Radeon 4870 is just about as good as it gets right now when it comes to mobile graphics. Equipping the notebook with two of these GPUs is simply an extraordinary amount of graphics horsepower for a notebook PC – most desktop gaming rigs don’t have this kind of power on tap.

But it doesn’t stop there. Running alongside the dual GPUs are dual hard drives. ASUS ships the system with two 160GB 7200 RPM hard drives from Seagate striped together in a RAID 0 array, Core 2 Duo T9600 CPU mounted on a motherboard based on Intel’s X38 chipset, 6GB of DDR2-800 memory, 5.1 Dolby-certified speakers, and finally, one of the most gorgeous laptop displays we’ve ever seen, an 18.4” 1920x1080 display backed by ASUS’ Zero Bright dot display policy which guarantees that the display will ship free of dead pixels or ASUS will replace it free of charge within 30 days of purchase.

Should have gone with SSDs

My first thought too.

Even a single fast SSD for the OS with a large HDD for Docs would have been better.
I have that config and my laptop simply does not feel like a laptop anymore.

Very poor keyborad layout, too, especially for a laptop with a possible 18.4" available.
