Summary |
4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors 4th generation Intel® Core™ processors deliver the performance to increase productivity for your business. Devices turn on in an instant and are always up-to-date. You can multitask quickly and move effortlessly between applications, collaborate wirelessly in a high quality videoconference — all with the convenience of longer battery life. Plus, you can guard against identity theft and ensure safe access to your network with built-in security features. In fact, the only thing more amazing than an Intel Core processor-based PC is what your users will do with it.
Windows 8.1 With the new Windows, you can do more. You have more entertainment, more games, more ways to get stuff done, more ways to search, browse, and connect with the people you care about. You can make Windows uniquely yours by personalizing your Start screen with Live Tiles, your own photos, and the people, apps, and sites that matter most.
Massive 17.3" HD+ Display The G70's giant 17.3" HD+ (1600 x 900) display is perfect for gaming or enjoying movies and videos. NVIDIA® Discrete Graphics Options
The G70 spares nothing when it comes to graphics performance. With up to NVIDA® GeForce® 820M 2G graphics, it gives you the extra power you need for gaming and photoediting.
Dolby® Speakers With Advanced Audio™ Enjoy an immersive surround sound experience whether listening to a presentation or kicking back with a movie. This technology increases audio clarity for VOIP applications, maximizes volume output without distortion, and improves dialogue clarity when watching videos.
Speedy Internet Connections The G70 is equipped with a/c WiFi, which offers up to three times the connection speeds of 802.11n configurations.

Multitouch Touchpad Optimized for Windows 8.1 features, this touchpad lets you toggle charms and apps, switch between apps, rotate, zoom, and use other functions with various easy swipes and gestures.
AccuType Keyboard Featuring a modern look and feel, the acclaimed AccuType keyboard has island-style, ergonomic keys that allow a more fluid, spacious, comfortable, and accurate typing experience than standard keyboard designs.
Fast Data Transfer Move data between the G70 and other devices quickly with USB 3.0 SuperSpeed. It's up to ten times faster than previous USB technologies, and it's backward-compatible.
