    It is highly unlikely the M860TU will be shipping next month. Intel has pushed back Montevina release until late June. Without Montevina, there is no M860TU.

    Btw, Justin, any word on why Intel is only pulling back the release of the chip's date?

    Lol, didn't pee. But I was ensuring to order and get funds ready for a wire transfer today after seeing that.

    Could be many reasons why they pushed it back . . production or maybe some other reason?

    The underlying lesson is dont fall for the ship dates that some other resellers have stated. You can be assured when Sager and their resellers post a ETA, it is something you can rely on as a more accurate arrival/ship date. ;)

    No offense Justin, but do you think the other resellers are just more informed than Sager? It seems you guys are just being kept out of the loop.

    But hey, only time will tell, I have no prior experience with any of the resellers, but based on who gives the most accurate information at the end of the day will be the one i trust.

    Do you consider a consumer is more informed when a reseller states/retracts, then again states/retracts ETA's? Personally I find that misleading or as some others have said "trying to get attention".

    I think Sager and their resellers have a little more integrity and only want to release info when we know it is accurate.

    intel are very low on the new CPU's so that could be a factor.

    Sounds like wishfull thinking here, you`re hoping other resellers are right by "pushing" out unrealistic shipping dates and hope that the 860TU will be out soon, but the fact is that Sager always played it by the book and I trust them over other Clevo vendors any day of the week.
    And guys, @Justin`s avy is just an avy, it`s not like all of us really look like it.
    Do I look like a car to you? :D
