    Will the U80V be released with Core I7? Or is the 14inch form factor too small for a I7 cpu?

    Also, do any of you guys know when the U80V will be released with Windows 7?

    I really want to get this laptop but Im not sure if i should wait for core I7 and win 7.

    It's possible, but it'll be a fat sucker...

    What about Core I5? Would Core I5 be faster than a 7350 C2D (2.1GHZ)?

    Yes, the Core i5 would be a lot faster than the 7350, but the thing is, unless you're a video editor/graphics designer that is encoding video for long periods of time regularly--you aren't going to notice much of a performance improvement because both processors will handle windows/opening programs/running games just about equally (with gaming probably going to the i5 by a small margin). That's my guess anyway. I haven't exactly heard about the i5's performance in laptops. Either way, you still wouldn't notice a difference in performance in day-to-day stuff.

    Plus, the i5 gets a LOT hotter than the C2D series with general desktop benchmarks; I could only imagine how hot they get in a notebook.

    The mobile Core i5 will be Arrandale and not Lynnfield like the current mobile i7 and and desktop Core i5. They will be 32nm
