    I'm not surprised .

    Doesn't Clevo usually show at some international events? I know the M980 was debuted by Kobalt at something in the UK.

    I doubt it, not if the Clevo site explicitly says the new models will be unveiled at CeBIT. Even then, the new models probably won't be shipped in March though you may be able to pre-order them then.

    Obviously us resellers are limited to what we can say before official announcements are made but as MrDJ mentioned the X8100 has been added to the Clevo site, you'll have to draw your own conclusions as to when it will be shipping based on having been a recent addition! Also don't forget we have CeBit in Germany at the beginning of March which might be another launch opportunity......

    On the i3/i5 front there are Clevo chassis already available, in particular 15.6" and 17" that run i5 and sit below the 860CU and 870CU.

    That's exactly what I am waiting for - 15'.6", i5, mid-range NVIDIA, 6 pounds. That sucks Clevo are not going to introduce them at CES.

    Apart from Nvidia they are already available and being sold though, we'll have them up next week too. You can get 15.6", i5, mid range ATI graphics (ATi 4570) for pretty much bang on 6 lbs.

    i would realy like to see clevo make a gaming tablet thats about 1inch thick and have the specs or even abit higher specs than the m11x..

    No true gaming tablet exists yet.. and im loosing hope that apples tablet will have enugh power to run any thing respectable like Starcraft 2 or World of warcraft.
