What is Ivy Bridge?

Even newer than Sandy Bridge.

if this isnt too expensive i would be sure to sell my laptop to get one of these. i love small laptops with good performance.

I'd expect a premium price for one of these... I hope LG choose to release this laptop worldwide!

They killed optical drive to provide more space for 555m and cooling. Also, the release date is kinda too late. It'll be hawt for 3-4 months until Ivy Bridge is release in Q1 2011.

More manufacturers should consider this.

the envy 15 did, and what has replaced it, the envy 14, which has, you guessed! a ODD!

man the public complain that there arent system lights for the HDD or whatever, such a waste

No need for internal optical drives in this day and age.

Agree. But is it too much to ask some keyboard lights?

P310 had 1280x800 screen, so I assume there won't be 1600x900 in P330. I'm waiting for a portable high quality 1600x900 laptop myself, but P330 is false hope I think.

Waiting for a portable high quality 1600x900 laptop? Sony Z13 is a portable high quality 13" 1600x900 laptop (and 1920x1080). Plus you get super-fast raid 0 ssd, core i7, blu-ray, gpu...

It's in the in-between time right now where the Z13 is a little hard to find and the Z2 is still a few weeks away. But still, I'm just sayin...

As far as this one having 1600x900, why do you say false hope? It may. We don't know yet.

It seems to me that P330 is trying to copy MacBooks. The extreme minimalism, same stone-age resolution, glossy high quality screen. Besides, sudden change in resolution would also mean much higher price. I don't think they want to change the pricing of a laptop series that much.

Z is too expensive for me, it costs 2000€ where I live. The older Core 2 Duo version still costs over 1000€ which is insane. The new one will have SSD by default, so the base model will be $2000 in US.
Is the laptop I'm looking for possible to be affordable? I think so, I don't need a bunch of stuff that they put in Z (such as dedicated GPU).
