    There are 15.6 and 17.3" V3 models too.

    This is some great information. Thanks. 35W quads! Nice. 14" 35W Quad w/Kepler GT640M should be a decent unit and, with the lower heat may not throttle. This is worth keeping an eye on.

    Wonder if there will be any display options?

    If you are feeling adventurous you could see if the display connection will accept dual LVDS from another model.

    If they release the i7 14" version for no more than $800 it's gonna be one hell of a machine.

    How heavy & thick is this? If it can be 1.8kg or less (lighter than the 3830TG), I think this gonna be my next laptop, or the Gigabyte U2442 or ASUS U47.
