    I don't want to get ahead of myself, but look here at the Lenovo store. It says the power adapter is for the Ideapads S10-2/S12/ U160. I know the first two exist, so could it be possible there's a U160 in the works? Arrandale perhaps? :D
    Look where it says "Supports IdeaPad S10-2/S12/U160/U165.".

    Yes,
    It has been press-released for availability in June. If it is available in first 2 weeks of June, I will order one as a travel computer. It would be my first non-thinkpad in 10 years. I'm trying to figure out the difference between the U160 and U165 right now. I don't want an ugly white U160.

    the U165 might be power by Amd processor. Let's hope that it's the newer batch of their processor. I just guessing from the 5 on the end. i.e Z565 vs Z560

    Yes,
    Confirmed the 165 is the AMD model. I'm curious about their next generaiton of chips...

    I was looking for information about the U160 on google and the only forum that even mentioned the U160 at the time was here... Good sighting from your part!

    The U165 will indeed be AMD powered (the so called "Fusion" thingie, which is based on the Nile platform - probably an Athlon II Neo K325 dual core processor coupled with ATI Radeon HD 4200).

    I sure wish they could come up with an 11.6' + Radeon HD 5400 ; but that only seems to be the case with 13' and up...

    Yeah, but I have a T400 that will remain my main machine. I just need a travel notebook that is fast, reliable, and has good connectivity and long battery life. It is a race for me between u160 and Acer t1830. Whichever one ships first I will buy.

    OK,
    Intel officially announced the chips. How long until the machines appear in the flesh?

    So,
    Are they coming tomorrow? All of the U-series are gone from the Lenovo page. Are they doing an update now?


    Or, I guess not, The old x50 series just came back up for me.
