    Today, I spoke to a Toshiba sales rep at 1-800-toshiba. After the rep informed me that the M2-S430 had been discontinued, I asked if any new Tecra machines were about to be released. To my surprise, I was informed that the Tecra A2-S336 would be released today or tomorrow. The rep would/could not give me any additional information. A quick internet search provided only two links with partial configuration information. Looks like a 1.5 Pentium M, a 15" screen, 512mb, 60gb hard drive, DVD-CD/RW, wireless b/g, and XPP for around $1658.

    If anyone knows more or finds out more information, please post.

    VB, thanks for the Canadian site and the specs on the A2-S336. With the increased screen size and weight it appears to be an addition to the Tecra line and not a replacement for the M2 series.

    CDW now has this on their website.
