    Haier has created a Transformers themed notebook that on the surface could be pretty interesting for the most die-hard Transformers fans, but is really nothing more than a laptop with a big decal on the back — hey, at least it’s not a Decepticon. The specs are relatively good too, with the G70 notebook running on Intel’s PM965 chipset, and featuring a 1920 x 1200 pixel 17-inch display, 2GB of RAM, a 120GB Hard Disk, and a GeForce Go 7950GTX with 512MB of VRAM.

    what do ya mean? a decepticon would be cooler! I mean imagine having a wrong notebook that transforms into a killer robot ;)

    looking at that thing i am finding it one serious waste of anyone's money if they're asking for a premium! Im sure they coulda done better than that!

    Is it....more than meets the eye?


    I couldn't help myself :p

    Wow, that makes me rethink my notebook buying plans a little bit (but not much, C90 looks so sweet :D)

    EDIT: I also don't think we will be able to find this anywhere.

    Well u could just print the head of either the autobots or decepticons onto a paper, cut the edges out and put glue on it then stick it on the back of the C90... There u have it, the Transformer themed notebook like it's directly from the manufacturer. The user is all responsible for any damage that is caused by this mod. ;)

    Eh no need to even glue paper on yourself. There are plenty of retailers out there that'll customize your laptop skin with paint or other mods and materials. Just give them an image to work with (something a little bit better looking than that thing :p)

    In fact, several Asus retailers offer this service (either inhouse or sent out) for your initial order too (xoticpc for example, although you're probably getting yours from gentech, which doesn't offer this I don't think).
