    The core duo model isn't shipping yet, so I don't think there are any official metrics.

    Actually, they are shipping now! Just recieved an email from Ivan at Portable One and he said that shipping time would be 5-10 days from order date. :)
    Fujitsu claims 3.25 hours battery life, but it seems manufacturers specs are always a little optimistic from what I have read.

    Well if it's shipping in 5-10 days from order, that's not exactly shipping yet ;)

    I've held the N3530 in my hands and it is exactly the same as the N3520. (Which was next to it). I found it at the local Fry's. Build quality is the same. Almost bought it but I am still holding out for a E series refresh. Also had the benefit of seeing the Sony FE next to it. Nice screen as well and 2lb lighter but 400 dollars more. Decisions decisions..

    I guess what I was trying to say is they are available. You just don't get them very quickly, lol. :)
    But I believe 5-10 days shipping is the standard quote for all of P1's CTO Fujitsu notebooks.
