    There is also a Gateway model similar to this with the same processor and chipset and also lacking HDMI out like this Fujitsu model. Yet when the Intel variant comes out with X4500 graphics, it will have HDMI out like the current Intel CULV 11.6" notebooks out.

    Come on AMD, update your chipset to include HDMI out please!

    AMD's 780M chipset already supports HDMI, it's Fujitsu that didn't add it.

    Personally I'm itching for an 11.6" Turion Neo x2 with a 780M chipset but it doesn't look like anyone is making 'em.

    I see, but its not built into the notebook. Does the notebook come with the hub or not?

    Hub is sold separate.

    The AMD chipsets in the Acer Ferrari One and Fujitsu P3010 do support HDMI though.

    It is unweildy that you have to purchase a hub for the Ferrari One to get the HDMI port and there is no hub to purchase for the P3010 to give the port.

    Whereas every single Intel notebook with their most recent integrated graphics (X4500) has an HDMI port.

    Agreed, but that's not the AMD chipset's fault that's Fujitsu's and Acer's fault.

    Wish they would have used the AMD Turion II Neo x2 paired with ATI Mobility HD 4200, but at least it looks cool with a splash of colours.

    No information on the price?
    I am happy to see more laptops using AMD...dont ask why, but I like some competition from time to time

    You and me both. I'll take a 12" though, no problem. We just need for them to actually be released and be affordable. The Fujitsu is about $75-$100 more than I'm willing to pay, otherwise I'd have already ordered it.
