****it! I can't get a new laptop mid-semester... now, can I justify waiting til May for a new laptop? How soon will we have more info on cpu and gpu?

CPU is already known Single/Dual core Sonoma/Napa. No idea when the discrete GPU for the Z62J will be announced, however.

I was trying to find more information about this announcement ... do you have a link of some sort for this ??

Also, what you think about pricing of the current models once Intel core duo's hit the market.

I want to buy a laptop but should I wait a month ??? dual core on 65nm will probably be freaking cool :asus:
