    ASUS has just announced another notebook line, dubbed the "A6'

    This new notebook features a PM cpu paired with the Intel 855GME chipset. Noteable extras are the precence of a webcam and microphone for video conferencing and "GameFace Live – See and talk to teammate and opponents, provides an interactive and exciting PC gaming experience".
    Interesting feature but given the poor GPU (intel extreme2) I doubt it will attract many gamers, its a shame as I'm sure the price/avaliabilty of ATI9600 (for eg) would be quite attractive at the moment, give the recent release of high end 9800 and X800 gpu's. I think the inclusion of a dedicated GPU would have made this a much more compelling and future proof model.

    Interesting... probably attracting users that web conference frequently (e.g university students away from home)
