    Anyone know what's going on with the Asus 14" Santa Rosa notebooks (A8 replacements)? There is nothing on their website, but they have announced other size laptops.

    I found some info on the A8SC–A1, but I am hoping for the 8600GT in a 14" notebook.

    Look into the Compal IFL00 I heard that its a 14.1 with a 8600gs. I don't think you can get a 14 inch laptop with a graphics card better then that with a santa rose platform. But I read somewhere that it might not be coming to the USA?

    It hasn't been announced for the US. There are no plans to bring the IFT00 into the US market.

    As far as Asus 14.1" laptops go, the A8Sc has already been released with an 8400M.

    Look for the following 14.1" updates in the coming months:

    Santa Rosa update to V2Je (guessing a T7300 and Geforce 8400M GT)
    Update to the A8Js with Santa Rosa and the 8600M GT (called the F8, with a better chassis, coming around August).

    Where did you get the information that the F8 is coming with a 8600M GT?
