    so ive finally decided to sell my beloved Asus G1S in exchange for something more portable and i was wondering...
    is it worth holding off the sale till the montevina refreshes are released?

    also i know that if i got the current version id obivously note a difference in performance between the 8400m and my 8600m
    but what about the T8100 2.1GHz processor compared to my T7500 2.2GHz right now? will i notice any difference in general computing or gaming?

    thanks for the help and input!

    well if you can wait another month then why not go for the new XPS? Although you wont know the price and the current ones have been tested and are amazing lappys. As far as the processors go, the T8100 will be cooler, and ofcoarse for laptops, thats good. Also, you will experience better battery life with the T8100. You wont feel any decrease in speed though.
