It looks like Asus is trying to conquer yet another segment of the laptop-using market by releasing their new Montevina-based F8Va laptop.  

 
It features an Intel 2.53GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB SATA HDD, a 14-inch WXGA display with maximum resolution of 1440×900, and runs on Windows Vista. Yeah, those look more or less pretty decent even by today’s standards, but what even makes it better is the inclusion of an ATI Radeon HD3650 video card. No word though on how much dedicated RAM it will carry, but we figure that it should at least come with a minimum of 256MB VRAM. Rounding up the rest of the treats is a Blu-ray DVD combo drive, 1.3-megapixel webcam and HDMI support.

Unfortunately, it’s only going to be released in Korea at the end of the month with no word on international availability. Yeah, it’s really disappointing if you ask me considering how such a well-packaged laptop is limited to only a particular market. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that the rest of the world, including the Philippines, get’s a chance to have a crack at this little portable gaming machine.
