    Intel is saying they're going to be discontinuing some of the i7s when the 32nm processors come out; does anyone know if there would be any trouble snatching up one of those for the G51? The mobile 32nm series would probably give us a few more minutes of battery life <_<

    No, you won't be able to upgrade to any new CPU that comes out because it would require a new motherboard.

    I thought the next CPU series uses the same Montevina platform?
