    Yes they are, keep in mind some things are still under NDA so we are not able to post those yet, but you will get a good idea of the rest of the specs.

    raymondjchin,
    Yes if it becomes available before the computer ships we can add it but there is no ETA on it right now.

    This is pretty exciting but my model is in production now as well. Kinda a bummer honestly :-(. Does anyone know what graphics card is coming stock on the new ones?

    supposedly 670M for 150/170 with the option to upgrade to the 675M. the 151 comes with the 660M with an option to upgrade to the 670M (according to a reseller. The 660M hasn't been announced so I'd assume thats why the resellers here haven't said anything about it or the 680M)

    Do any of the resellers ever get amused by how accurate/wrong us users are at our speculations?

    I would have to say it is quite amusing.

    I'm also impressed with how far some of the community members have gone to try to dig up specifications. Whether or not they are dead on accurate has yet to be seen. :cool:

    Sometimes it also seems that the rest of the world gets the cool stuff before the US does, if we even get it at all. :rolleyes:

    Is the W150EM going to be coming out at the same time as the P150? That one is also gone from all the resellers and that's the one that I was interested in (lighter, cheaper, I don't need the gaming horsepower that much).

    Also, I'm curious to know if it'll have the same keyboard as the P150EM pics that have been posted on here. I sure hope so.

    They didn't put backlighting on the P151, so I'd say there's a decent chance that the W150 also won't have backlighting if that's what you're asking..

    If you're asking about style, I won't even venture a guess.. Did the current W150 share the same style keyboard as the current P series?

    From pictures it looked like the exact same keyboard to me, both chiclet style. The P150EM pics I've seen looks like the more traditional kind, and I like those better, so I'm hoping the W150 shares the keyboard. I'm not concerned about backlighting, I don't want that anyways.
