    I recently decided I would get the M140 over the latitude D620(decided I didn't need duo core as long as I got a powerful Pentium M). Today I learned about the e1405 which seems like it will have all of the pros of the M140 as well as Duo Core. Should I:

    Stick with the M140 and the now outdated Pentium M

    Go with the D620 and get Duo core preformance at the expense of the glossy screen and a few other things

    try to wait until the e1405 comes out and decide whether I want that instead.

    I need to make up my mind by thursday or I won't get to use the latest deals on the site.

    I know, that's why I like it. For the Duo Core and the durability. But I don't like the exclusion of a glossy screen option and the mono speaker

    If you are a U.S. resident and can afford waiting, I'd do that. I wanted the e1405 myself, but due to a fact that it didn't come out before my friend went over to U.S. I am now getting the 6400(e1505) instead. I was considering D620, but the mono-speaker stopped me.

    Hi. Having second thoughts about the 710m. Since the e1405 isn't here, what do u think about the e1505? For starters, how heavy is it and what do you make of the system crashes others have mentioned?

    Rgds,

    kc

    The e1505 weighs about 6lbs, which is too heavy for my liking.(that''s why I want a 14".)


    So should I wait for the e1405 or stick with the M140? I wish I knew more about the e1405. When will they start getting more info on it?
