    That's not the form factor of the 256/6800 I saw...... Great graphics card, but just another system like the Z71v in my option. High end graphics and then low end "A" series build and P4 battery life and heat.....

    The 256/6800 they had planned for the Turion wasn't even going to be on that platform....... and that's something I'd expect from Asus... . they tend to use old platforms for their AMD notebooks.

    Wouldn't be that harsh. The A4s I have seen are well built and all that, but the time has passed for 15" DTRs at > 4.2Kg. Very 2002. Maybe it'll find a couple of prospective buyers with poor 3D-modeling students looking for a cheap softmodded 'Quadro'.
