    I had hoped to thet the N82 with optimus from Asus but since release date is murky in the US i am lookign at tother options. I saw the K42JC A1 is available at newegg. It has optimus and seems decent spec wise. Its the size i want at 14 inches. Anyone have one or can give some feedback on this laptop?

    Does it have optimus? I'm looking at Gentech's page on it and it's not mentioned.

    I do know a very similar laptop, the U30JC, has optimus.

    I called xoticpc. I spoke with a guy (i forget his name). He went into the back and found one of these being customize and sure enough it has the Optimus sticker on it - so it does have optimus. Battery life he said would likely be around 2-3 hours. I think battery life is where it will differ fromthe N82 since that one is said to long battery life.
