Asus, A Long Respected Laptop Manufacturer, Plans to Ship the A8Jr as Early as February AsusTek introduced its new Core2 Duo A8Jr, a new notebook series that will feature the first ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 GPU. Designed specifically for greater graphics performance, and Certified for Windows Vista 3D, the A8Jr will make use of ATI’s HyperMemory memory management technology for enhanced ‘performance-per-watt’ operations.

“There is an ever-increasing demand for higher graphic processing power and crisper graphics for entertainment and applications alike,” said David Cummings, director of marketing for AMD’s Graphics Products Group, in a statement.

Asus, A Long Respected Laptop Manufacturer, Plans to Ship the A8Jr as Early as February “Our answer to that demand is the X2300 GPU. This GPU utilizes patented technology to increase processing power and provide the user with smooth, realistic hi-resolution graphics.”
The new laptop will also offer something Asus is calling Splendid Video Intelligence Technology that allows the A8Jr to integrate different multimedia data sources in order to reduce noise and conversion rate for a sharper display and better contrast when running video applications.
Asus says the notebooks will all come with high-definition support capability, allowing for HD video playback on the go, as well as built-in WLAN 802.11 a/b/g, a 14.1-inch widescreen display, Bluetooth 2.0 EDRâ€”a pumped up data rate that transmits three times faster than the standard Bluetoothâ€”and 5 USB ports, a S-video TV-out port, and express card slots for data transfer and storage options.
