    I've been looking at the G1S. I just don't care for the looks of the green lights and the keyboard. Anyone know if Asus has anything in the "G" series or above that has santa rosa that is going to be released soon. Or maybe something already out that I should be looking at? I am also looking at the Sager NP2090, but I think I'd prefer an Asus.

    The C90s is another highend/gameing oriented notebook from Asus that will come soon.

    There will not be an update for the G1s or G2s for a while.

    The V1S is Asus Business line, it is very high build quality and has a 8600GT, its about $100-$200 more than the G1S. and is expected to be announced soon as it has appeared in several locations.

    The Asus F8 is a 14" that is supposed to have either an nvidia 8600M or ati HD2600 graphics card (not sure which models specifically, or even which one of the two) but I'm not sure if that is going to be out soon.

    Ahh, that is the one that I've heard mentioned before. Any links to leaked specs or pics or anything regarding the V1S you can give me. Are we expecting within the next few weeks, month?

    The V1s should be the exact same as the V1j in terms of physical build, check the V1 reviews for more images.

    Some specs have been leaked, like the graphic card. But if I had to hazzard a guess I would say 2.2ghz, and a 160gb HD.
