    Will we be getting the white version of the W7s in North America? I know that last time we only got the black W7, because the white one would have conflicted too much with the W5, which was white only at the time. Now that the W5 is black only, will we only get white, or still only black, or both colours?

    Thanks.

    It looks really nice in white, and the sub-$1400 price makes it a really interesting computer.

    The 8400M, that's not bad, but too bad it didn't get a 8400GS/T.

    I think they are almost the same thickness, within .1" definitely. But the M1210 *looks* thicker and thats more important.
