    I tend to only buy Laptops when theres a Die shrink, if not the performance gains and battery effciency are insignificant.


    I am looking for ward to a new system preferably on a 32nm die, will they get here by Christams 2009 or are they delayed? I know The back to school season is used to get rid of old back stock and NOT to launch "new" products.

    I figured pulling the trigger on an RGB LED screen and 45nm CPU Monetveniea and 4GB DDR2 was a good start.


    I am looking forward to

    -32nm from Intel offered by DELL (or others)
    -DDR3 of course
    - USB 3.0 (maybe some desktops have it)

    Last I read, Intel is planning to release them in October, but new laptop systems will most likely appear sometime in November. No USB 3.0 on laptops so far, maybe next year.

    The 32nm dual cores are called Arrandale. Notebooks will get them in Q1 of 2010. What is coming this fall is the quad core, but they will be 45nm and then get shrunk to 32nm sometime next year.
