    According to PROPortable's site, it will be refreshed later this month
    http://proportable.com/asusensemble.html

    the card it has is rather low end (Nvidia Go 7300)
    You could wait for a refresh that will come out later.. or consider the Asus S96j instead. :)

    For $1299, it's an unreal deal...... I'm not a fan of the A6 chassis, but it's been used on like 1/4 of all Asus notebooks over the last couple years and it's brought the cost of the chassis way down (that's where the price comes in)...... the configuration is good and in 2-3 weeks, we'll have a slightly upgraded one which makes it even better..... It's not a gaming machine, but it does have dedicated graphics..... it's what I'd say we'd suggest for someone who doesn't need a ton, but wants a lot..... and wants dell prices but Asus qualitly...

    bf2. propably.. its not THAT demanding.
    Oblivion.. thats a different story.. it's one of the most graphically demanding games I've seen. an x1400 struggles with it, let alone a go 7300.
    Quite personally, Oblivion is one of those games I think I'd just leave for my desktop to play with.
