    Awesome, if only Nvidia/ATI can squeeze some powerful GPUs and still keep it thin and light I'd be all over those things.

    Interesting. Wikipedia lists Calpella as 35-45W power draw, quite a difference from the 25W in this statement. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what it really is.

    Cliffside looks useful. It would be rather nice to have two computers on a direct wireless connection - right now I just use LAN cables to do that.

    Not too excited about the design changes meself. I'd rather have power than a small footprint, at least until it starts getting ridiculous. Even if that does mean 35W TDP CPU's.

    I can't see that wrong. The CPU core itself would be true to the 25W. The addition of memory controller and GPU would increase power consumption. Wikipedia is basing off of the HKEPC article which put Nehalem mobile power consumption as CPU+10W.
