The definition of ARES is the god of war or, more formally, the spirit of battle. To us, "the spirit of battle" means "uncompromising." Since most mobile solutions are a series of trade-offs, we decided to design the ARES without compromises to bring everything together in a great gaming notebook with Vigor's unique touch. Often times, mobile solutions compromise between battery life and performance. However, we have resolved this problem by offering two different types of ARES notebooks; one for ultimate power, and one for great battery life. If you are usually plugged in and want the maximum performance, select the ARES Pro that balances desktop-class processors with some of the fastest mobile graphics in the form of the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M. If you are always on the move and need to extend your battery life, select the ARES with INTEL Centrino Duo processors and the same powerful graphics as the ARES Pro.
