"Our answer to that demand is the X2300 GPU. This GPU utilizes patented technology to increase processing power and provide the user with smooth, realistic hi-resolution graphics."

The new ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 will boost graphical performance, and utilize ATI's HyperMemory memory management technology to deliver enhanced 'performance-per-watt' operations. It will also offer Certified for Windows Vista 3D graphics that supports the visually stunning Windows Aero user interface. This makes the A8Jr deliver smooth and professional performance with current and future 3D-intensive applications and games.

They're certainly trying to make quite an impact on the notebook market. If I do get a notebook I think I'd chose them, my motherboard from them has been great.

yea, if they offer the laptop with a X2600...I would buy right away. I am in the market for a good solid notebook. I am waiting for Leopard and a refresh of the Apple Macbook Pro.
