    Ok I am confused...first the C1 is discontinued soon after launch and now the X2 is deactivated from Neweggs site. Anyone have any inkling why?? I was saving some money to get the X2 as it had what I wanted in the higher res screen and faster proc and what not. Maybe the only made a limited amount in anticipation of the Montevina platform??

    I'm so confused....
