    I have Asus A8Js and I was wondering that is there anything from Asus in the 14" class that would beat my notebook performance-wize? I checked my local pricewatch site and I couldnt find anything to beat the A8Js.

    If there isnt anything to beat it, then is there anything coming in the short future?

    Thanks!

    Asus F8. But the battery life is appalling. Then there's the Lenovo t61p 14", which is more powerful than the A8Js. The Asus V2s has a 8600M gs, but the 64 bit bus limits the performance to about 8400M GS levels.

    Out of curiosity, what battery life results have you seen on the F8?

    And yes, the F8sa which is currently available in some areas is considerably more powerful than the A8js.

    I can't remember where i read it, but the battery life was something like 1-1,5h. I could be wrong, but it's in line with other contemporary asus laptops.
