    Ok if youve seen my other threads by now im looking to get the Asus M50Sv-A1 , with the Penryn T9300 2.5ghz proc, now the question is should I wait or will I not be able to find a laptop with Montevina for the same price range?

    You will not be able to find a laptop with Montevina in the same price range. If history is any indication, new technology is always more expensive than the technology it is replacing. Do yourself a favor and make the purchase now; otherwise, you'll forever be stuck waiting around for the next best thing.

    No its not worth waiting for. I just had to make the same decision and after reading what was coming with Montevina, I went ahead and just purchased now. The biggest change that will come from it is that its 25% smaller and will save battery life. Not worth the wait and higher price IMO
