    Asus F3Ja is now available in Indonesia with 256 MB ATI X1600 and bluetooth, however it only has the 1.66 GHz T2300 Core Duo dan 512 MB (DDR2 667) RAM. Last Sunday I went to an Asus Fair in Jakarta and I tried the F3Ja for a while. The notebook was on for a couple of hours, mostly for FIFA 2006 demo and some game play, and when I touched it, the left palmrest was cool, the right palmrest was just slightly warm. So maybe this notebook runs cool, at least on the upper side. The official price is USD 1499, but they can sell for USD 1480 or USD 1475.

    @ camsimple: You're welcome. Oh, and I forget to tell that the build seems quite sturdy.
    @ Darrick: I think we have computer fairs quite often. The one I went to was in Kelapa Gading Mall, it's (obviously) in Kelapa Gading area, Jakarta. The fair was small-scale though. The next big fair will be Indocomtech 2006, 6-10 September 2006, at Jakarta Convention Center, Senayan - Jakarta.
