    I'm interested in purchasing a Timeline 13" or 14" with a Core 2 Duo SU9400, but I'm having an impossible time finding a retailer that offers it in Canada (shipped or in store). I have a 14" w/ a SU2700 and the best I can find in the 13" or 14" is an SU3500 processor. One local store offers the 15.6" model w/ the dual core processor but I would prefer to stick to a smaller model. Have any Canadians had luck purchasing a dual core 13" or 14" model? If so, where did you get it and what was the price? If it isn't available in Canada, is it worth the extra $100 for an upgrade from SU2700 to SU3500? Or should I just suck it up and step up to the 15.6" inch model w/ the dual core processor. I've got a week remaining to return the model I'm using atm (which I love). I'm using the laptop for internet, mild document editing and programming w/ Linux. My only complaints with the SU2700 model is that HD video playback (online or off) is choppy at times, not enough to ruin it but still noticeable and annoying.

    Any advice is welcome, thanks!

    Yikes, my google skills must suck... Yes that would be it, thank you. Now just have to decided between that and the Aspire 3935.
