Not quite ready to splurge on a complete home theater set up complete with a 50-inch plasma TV, 7.1 channel receiver, and tricked-out floor speakers? Maybe you should consider the Asus W2P, a laptop that rocks HDMI, an HD-DVD drive, and even a Dolby-certified sound system. The beautiful brushed silver chassis contains no fewer than four main speakers in addition to a fairly beefy sub-woofer.

Designed with multimedia in mind, the Asus W2P comes packed with a “Merom” Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a full two gigs of DDR2-533 RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 graphics, Bluetooth 2.0, and a glorious 1920 x 1200 WUXGA display. You can even catch all your favourite TV shows with the hybrid analog/digital TV tuner. The price has yet to be released, but if you’re thinking what I’m thinking, then neither one of us can afford it.
