    Anyone know when the F8Tr is going to be released?

    I can't find any information on it besides the initial press release, but this definitely seems like the notebook I've been looking for.

    Want Hybrid CF real bad. Wish more companies weren't sitting on it...

    Wonder how this will play newer games on low res

    I care more about gameplay than graphics.. Always tweaking the config to get that extra frame or two.

    If this doesn't drop soon I might get an MSI.

    I was considering the M51ta, which is one of the few Puma notebooks out there with decent specs, but after reading about lots of BIOS bugs and trouble under Linux I decided not to get it. I really wanted to get me a Puma based notebook, but I could not find one with decent graphics (the HP DV5z looks interesting, but the HD3450 and lack of Hybrid Crossfire is a turndown), so I ended up buying a F8va.
