    Hey All,

    I'm half wanting to pull the trigger on the ul30a-x3.

    http://www.amazon.com/UL30A-X3-Ligh...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254711291&sr=8-1
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220593

    Reasons - cant buy the Acer 3810-6775 (SU9400 w/80g ssd) anywhere online.

    However, do you guys think that any ul30a's will come out once Windows 7 ships out?? Hopefully one with SSD and perhaps upgraded processor? I don't want/need dedicated graphics. Also, any predictions for the Acer timeline series??

    Doubt there will be SSD's, its just not in the category. Processor-wsie, the SU7300 is good enough, the SU9400 doesn't seem like a good upgrade for the potential increase in price.

    There will probably be the UL30A integrated GPU one, and the UL30VT with some sort of GPU, probably low-mid end. With BT would be a possibility. And a $150~ price tag on top.
