    Yeah, I'm waiting for that too. I plan to buy an E6500 at the end of September/beginning of October, and as I want a high resolution I'm probably getting the WUXGA one.

    The battery lifetime worries me a bit. I'll get the smallest CPU and only the integrated GPU (as I will be using almost only Linux [because I need it for study/work and I hate windows] and absolutely play no games on anything else but my PS3, the dedicated chip would be overkill). If the 6 cell battery would be fine for around 5 hours of web surfing and some coding I would be absolutely satisfied, but I definitely want more than 4 hours running time. If the 6 cell can't do that I'll have to buy the 9 cell, although I'd like the 6 cell more because of the lesser weight and size, and the 9 cell is not exactly cheap either...
