    Hi all,

    I was wondering if there is any new info about the new S5N. I believe Justin said that it won't be out until all the new models are available first? Besides going to Sonoma, will there be any other changes? Screen? CPU?

    I'll get confirmation on those shortly for you.... but I'm fairly certain it's only going to be a chipset change, which means it'll have ddr2 and the 533mhz version of the dothan...... aside from that, I don't think there will be any other changes.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    As I suspected... there is no real change..... the included accessories seem to be more.. like an included bluetooth usb dongle... but there's no saying whether that will be in the US package.... so basically it's just a chipset change.

    Thanks,
    Justin
