    I'm looking to get a new laptop in the next 2 months and was wondering if there was any word on when the Arrandale refresh of the X-Slim series would be available (I was looking at the X360)?

    If they are going to use the i7 ULV CPUs, probably won't be out for a few months. Might be cutting it tight if you actually need it in 2 months.

    I have a pretty flexible time line. I think it was going to use the i5-520UM, though, I guess with Intel's early 2010 supply issues, it could take time for it to trickle into available notebooks.

    Does anybody know the power of those new cpu's? I was thinking of buying a new vostro 3300 but maybe I can postphone my purchase till oktober in the next semester. If those new cpu's will have a lot more power and still very low power consumption it might be worth the wait.
