Editors' note :

The pricing information for the ASUS A8JR has been amended in the article. It has also been confirmed that the ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 video chipset is not DirectX 10 compliant.

Even before the official announcement by ATI, ASUS is beating the crowd by declaring that its latest A8JR notebook will hold the next-generation ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 video chipset.

The A8JR will hold a 14.1-inch display and Core 2 Duo chip. You can grab one in February for S$2,198 (US$1,446.05) with Windows XP Professional Edition operating system installed and Vista Home Premium Edition provided free. If you wish to have just the latter OS bundled, it will cost S$100 (US$65.79) less.
