    Will U330 ever come with a 2.4 or 2.5ghz chip?

    I'm actually considering this little computer. Just saw one today at Microcenter. But I'd really prefer something a tad more powerful than 2.0ghz. I try to buy my laptops to get 3 years out of them before upgrading.

    From my brief research, it seems that the U330 has been out for awhile, but supplies have been pretty low. But maybe there'll be a refresh coming soon? Also, it's not very customizable, but I could live with that if they had a 2.4 ghz (something equivalent to the new MacBooks),

    its been "out" for 4 months. they didnt start shipping them until end of sept/early oct and are still in short supply

    it is essentially a brand new model. there will not be a refresh anytime soon that is for sure.

    lenovo is known to add customizable options after a while - again this probably wont be anytime soon

    i currently have the laptop and it is PLENTY fast, and i do a good amount of photo and video editting. great laptop, highly recommended
