    This is the perfect buy for me except the cpu is way too weak. Any idea when it will be refreshed?

    If the cpu were to be upgraded the battery wouldn't last 5 hours.
    That's the point of CULV cpus and that's the point of buying this laptop.

    If you want something more powerful with very good battery life,you might consider the new dv-6 series and their 9-cell battery.
    It might cost more but i think that it's worth it.

    Or the Elitebook 2740p. I EASILY get 9 hours with the Slice Battery. I just don't like the weight and the 12.1" screen so I think I'm going to the dm3t with i3 CPU and SSD.
