    Based on what I've seen in this forum I believe my first notebook will be everyone's favorite the Z70va. Based on the fact that the Pentium M chips will likely be falling in price in the future if I were to get the 1.73 now and try to get a 2.13 later on would it be a difficult upgrade?

    Its very very easy to upgrade. But honestly i really dont think the prices are going to fall by much at all. I think they are just gonna sell out of the stock they have and thats it i dont think Intel is going to be making them much longer. the prices u find on the internet for stuff isnt really only a few dollars more than retailers actually pay for the chips themselves so they would take a loss to sell them for a alot cheaper.

    I actually started a thread in the news section regarding planned Intel price cuts to core duo processors in April and market logic dictates that M prices would also fall.
