    I'm probably just being very impatient here, but how long do you think it will be until the M2 will have the Dothan processor (I know Toshiba said end of May, but just how exact was this supposed to be). Also how long once they release the pre-configured dothan M2's, will it take for them to appear at online retailers? Thanks for any info!!

    Where do you see that it's already produced? I wish they'd start selling them soon, because I'm going to buy one as soon as they do! Anyone have any info on this?

    EDIT: I see where you're talking about. (It shows the chip as an option in the 'detailed specs'). I still wonder when it will become an option? ...

    Many manufacturers are trying to sell through their older PM chips first, so they don't have to cut prices because of Dothan. That may be what's happening here as well.

    Good idea...I never thought of that. I guess they were estimating the end of may as the date that they would run out (or low) on the older Pentium M chips...I was hoping that they would do the opposite of what you said, cut prices on the older chips, but I guess not.
