    Any word on a new 13.3" or 12.1" Asus notebook with LED backlighting, DDR3 memory, good video card, no leather (lol), and a slim design?

    That is the LG P300 although it has a 8600M GS. There is also a newer P310 with a 9600M GS or GT. Unfortunately, LG laptops are not sold in America.

    From now having played COD4 on a 9300M, I would say the N20. Just no DDR3.

    I'm also now on the full time lookout for LED LCD, doctor told me now that that would be the best for my migraines. Irony, I get hangovers from playing computer games late into the night with my friends and booze are not involved, LMAO!

    They are sold in Canada, but they priced quite high in comparison to the competition.

    Yes, I believe that LG is somewhere in the $3000 (cdn) range. And there are definitely no midrange cards in any 12.1", I think a few have a 9 or 8 200/300 in them, but I'm not sure which ones. Can't wait 'til they get more midranges in 13.1", or maybe higher ends in a 14
