But the feature that makes these features standout is the ASUS Power Pack.

This Power Pack can also be removed from the desktop to act like a portable rechargeable battery pack for smartphones and tablets.

For enhancing the gaming experience the G10 has been equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX680 graphics with 3D Vision Surround capable of supporting up to four monitors at once.
