    Has any official spec been release on the Z61A. Is there an estimated release yet? I am torn between the Z33A and the upcoming Z61A. Also for all you M3 / PortableOne MX users, what is the impact of the 7200 rpm drives? Is there a significant increase in heat and decrease in batt life. Do you feel its worth the performance increase?

    Thanks!

    Same specs as the M3np + sonoma....... the changes that were made on the M5 to the Z33 are basically the same changed in the Z61a.

    End of June at the earliest

    7200rpm is going to greatly increase heat and battery loss until you're up into the 15" systems.

    Thanks,
