    Haven't seen/heard anything myself. The 79xx series is already becoming hard to find atleast for me.

    My guess would be something along the lines of supply. Perhaps they're not getting the prices on Core i5s and i7s they'd ideally like to put out a new laptop using them.

    That, or they're working on a new enclosure, and that takes time and isn't cheap.

    Yeah just seems the 79xx series was so short lived.
