    Anyone seen any GPS/Mobile Broadband options for the new E6x20s? I can't find it, but they might be still juggling the online options.

    So far, I'm underwhelmed by the improvements here vs the E6x10 series. Is there any compelling reason to go with the new ones? I am upgrading from an M1210.

    I'm inclined to wait for the inevitable discounts. The E6x20 series does seem to offer improvements, although I wouldn't pay much more than the current E6x10 for those improvements, modest as they are. Wait and see.

    I am actually talking about the HSPA cards with GPS. I thought these would be available in addition to the wifi/wimax. Also, I don't see the same options for System Tracking - ie, dealing with missing/stolen laptops.

    Oh, you mean in the press release:

    Well, a lot of promised features haven't turned up yet. Actually, this seems to happen every year. We'll just have to wait and see.
