    I agree, but I wouldn't buy one when it comes out. Prices will indubitably be much higher. I would wait for good deals to hit, but then by that time, Calpella comes out.

    Damn that sucks, I was getting anxious. Well, it will give me more time to save up for a new notebook.

    Quoting from the article:

    "Our sources at Intel told us that Centrino 2 is no scheduled for a July 14 launch with “some chipsets”. A “couple of weeks later” the company will be shipping the full line of chipsets, as the company needs “a few extra days” for tasks such as antenna testing."

    It probably won't be "fully" out until sometime in August. Sounds like early adopters will be suffering this time around. I'm sure computer companies won't advertise "Introducting Montevina... (Incomplete Chipset Edition)" the week of July 14th or week after.
