just pointing it out..

...looks like it comes in Red and White now too. This might seem a little bit more compelling to me than the HP DM3Z now...

EDIT- realized I typod the title,its the U500

 

While that's nice to see, I'm surprised they pulled the 4570 from the list of available choices! I bought my U500 a month or so ago and I'm glad I did as the 210M looks to be a little lesser card then the 4570. One advantage would be though is I bet OSX would appreciate a nvidia graphics chip.

Also notable is the addition of a touch screen and the finger print scanner. The top of the line CPU has also been raised to the P9600.

Looks like some good product refreshes overall, but the laptop has only been out a short time!

One thing I will say that I've noticed and appreciate about this model is that the "upgradability" of the laptop is quite good. The cpu is not soldered to the motherboard, and neither is the GPU. You could pretty much upgrade any component in this system besides the motherboard. Might help breathe a year or two extra of life into it down the road when upgrade parts are cheap.
