    Anyone know of a problem? I was trying to decide between the DV1000 and DV1000t. However, the pricing and link to order the 1000t have been removed from hpshopping.com.

    They're still not supposed to ship for several weeks, maybe that was a factor.

    Last night, both models had Feb. 20 as an expected build date. Maybe they ran out of the Core Duo chips?

    Huh, that surprises me, but definitely something to watch.

    My take on this is that they are probably merging the dv1000t with the dv1000. If you did look carefully the "t" label was removed from the core duo line. I think it makes sense since the Pentium M is eventually going to be replaced by the Core Solo and there is no point in having the same model name confusing people.

    FWIW, the DV1000t is back. They combined the DV1000 series into one page and then you click either the DV1000 or DV1000t.

    Unlikely!!!

    From what I've read, article at news.com, its every thing but the Core Duo. Back in Aug `05, Intel was predicting Mar `06 for Core Duo to drop. Therefore all the OEM's built that date into their new model intros and build plans. Lo-and-behold, 65nm turned on sooner than expected and Intel said CES 2006 for Core Duo.

    If you look at a Core Duo box, many-many changes. IDE to SATA HDD, PCI express instead of PCI, faster 667 vs 533 DDR2. All these things have to be ramped in huge quantities. The industry expects to build 70-million lappies in `06 . . . that's alot of everything.
