    There are some. What I can find is Asus F9 (12", 8400M G), LG A1 (10,6" go7300), LG C1 (10,6" go7300), LG R200 (12" HD2300/x2300), LG TX (12" go7300/go7400), LG Z1 (12" X1350).

    well, eBay is for old laptops. You could try for a Dell xps M1210, a 12" with a go7400. It's quite large and heavy though. The Asus F9 is available at newegg.com.

    about as strong as a go7400, I'd say. It's one step lower than 8400M GS

    The Samsung Q45 can have an 8400M GS. That's 12.1" WXGA. ALso the LG C1 which is a 10.6" tablet with a Geforce Go 7300.

    can you point me to a US site where they sell the Q45? i couldnt find one, only UK, with the 8400GS, not the x3100 which they also come with..

    edit:after looking on samsung's website they dont even list the 8400m gs as an option on the Q45

    I don't think you can get a Samsung laptop in the US without importing it. Don't they have a contract with one of the brand name companies stating that they can't sell their laptop here?
