    It was just put on their US website today. I checked it at 1 AM Mountain time and it was not there.

    I was hoping to order mine with the Penryn, but I just missed it. I could return it since I have had it less than a week, but I got my LCD panel changed to an LG and I am not going to take a chance on getting one with a Samsung. I am happy with what I have now. It is fast enough for me!

    I am still not sure how much of an advantage these are over the processor that I have now, anyway.

    Doesnt Vostro have a 30 day return? I just missed it too and am wondering if the new chips might not have the Whine problem which I have in spades with my T7500.

    30 days on the business stores. Yes

    It is unusual, but I do not have the "whine" on mine.
