ASUS introduced the N81Vg laptop, this model has a 14" LED-backlit LCD display and is the first notebook with the "new" NVIDIA GeForce GT 120M GPU. From what I've heard, the GeForce GT 120M is based on the GeForce 9500M so it's basically another rebadged chip.

The system also has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, PM45 chipset, up to 4GB of DDR2 800MHz memory, 160GB to 500GB SATA HDD, DVD burner or Blu-ray combo drive, and a 1.3MP webcam.
