    I wouldn't expect anything in the immediate future.

    However, when Intel next refreshes their processor/chipset line (I hear November) you might well see an x302. It will probably be identical except for a faster CPU/GPU (just like the x301 was identical to the x300 except using the Montevina vs. Santa Rosa platform). This is the path IBM followed for the T4x line (the T40, T41, T42, T43 were effectively identical except for the CPU generation and chipset).

    It would seem a minor refresh is in the works sooner, as multitouch touch pad was just added as an option (last I checked) and the SU9600 processor option I assume will come soon. This won't warrant a model number jump though, I don't imagine. What jon said on that.

    the SU9600 cpu is already available for orders through purchasing contract. Kinda expensive though.
