    Is there any news on the Summer 2007 lineup of HP with Centrino Pro and Sideshow? this website reported that HP will be coming with sideshow but no details.

    Any news on the hybrid drives?

    What abt the HD-Blu Ray combo?

    these four are the big ticket items to the anvil i think.

    As far as Centrino Pro, Sideshow, and Hybrid drives... shouldn't be too much longer. 3 of the 4 14.1" models disappeared from HP's website today, so maybe a big refresh is coming soon.

    Blu-ray writers for notebooks are still in fairly short supply, although I think another manufacturer is gearing up to start production, in addition to Panasonic. But the only HD DVD/Blu-ray combo drive I've seen announced is the Hitachi/LG... and it's for desktop systems, not notebooks.
