    Hey all, surfing these forums I see a lot of references made to various blog posts and videos about new features coming out for the M1530 next year. I was hoping someone could kindly give a somewhat comprehensive overview of what features will be coming out, and when.

    For example, I've heard the M1530 will have new resolutions (this has already happened), an LED option, new lid colors, possibly the new Penryn processor, etc.

    I haven't heard as much about the M1330 ... are there similar plans for it as well?

    I'd kind of like to minimize my "regret ratio" on the purchase, and am having trouble deciding between the M1330 and M1530, both of which have their pros and cons for me. So, I'm thinking the tiebreaker might just be which one won't leave me going "What? They offer it now with that? Wish I had waited!"

    Thanks.

    Primarily to use for classes, taking notes, and especially coding, since I frequently work with groups and need to meet in some central location to work on some project. I wouldn't mind being able to, say, play StarCraft 2 when it comes out or something along those lines, but I don't really play shooters and would probably just get a desktop for that if I really wanted to.

    Other than Penryn, which I'm not too concerned about regretting since stuff like processors always improves, are there any "notable" changes coming for the M1330? For an example of what would be "notable", I think the LED for the M1530 falls under this category.

    I doubt there will be much new for the M1330 except new processors.
