    Why Nehalem - you might want to wait for this...

    Just a friendly way of saying that I know exactly how you feel. If it's only a couple of months away and oyu don't need it, then wait - on the other hand, if you are like me and until you get the laptop, you do nothing else but search for the perfect one, then just get what you want.

    Trust me I can wait, I think. I've already purchased 6 laptops in the last year.

    Plus that quantum computer doesn't look very portable! :D

    Why wait for Nehalem when you can wait for Sandy Bridge? :D

    Yup, sorry, forgot to add in the mobile. At any rate, I'm fine chillaxing with my M1530 until maybe 2010 or 2011. Who knows how powerful things will be then.
