ASUSTeK A6JA 'Napa' Notebook

[Steve]

Intel started off 2006 with a bang. Just a few days in to the new year and it officially launched the newest iteration of its mobile Centrino brand and HEXUS took a look at what made Napa tick on launch date. Briefly comprising of Intel's new dual-core Yonah CPU, i945-Express chipset, and PRO/Wireless 3945ABG WiFi card, Napa replaced Sonoma as the mobile performance platform of choice.

ASUSTeK, in preparation for the release, had quietly shipped in a Napa-powered laptop to HEXUS. The medium-sized ASUS A6JA packed in an Intel Centrino Duo T2500 CPU (Yonah core), a ATI Radeon X1600 PCIe GPU, and an array of other tasty componentry in a laptop that weighed in at under 3kg and sported a 15.4-inch wide-aspect display. Read on to find out what we thought of dual-core CPUs on the go.

Thanks for the nice review.
Dose anyone know if the configuration with 2GHz will also be available in germany? Actually there's only one with 80 GB, 1,6GHz and 1 GB RAM.
I think i will buy this one, as it seems to be one of the fastet 15" gaming books at a quite nice price.

One thing i dont get: i 've seen 2 reviews of the Acer 8204 saying it dose above 4000Marks in 3dMarks05 at 1024

He wasn't talking about trusting them in that sense. He trusts their hardware products are a decent quality, not the company in any moral sense.
