    Why MSi is only producing 12",14" and 17" dual cores????

    What about 15"??? Did they forget???

    Note that this site is only for 64 bits, it is not saying about 32 intel ones, and aperently it goes only till july, so it´s not 2006 roadmap (maybe half of it).

    I don't think this is an updated one as I have the old one saved and just checked it and it does say an April timeline release for the 1039.

    Pharoke, can´t you check if the other dual turions are in the old roadmap, cause i just remember the 1042.

    Also, if i am not worng the 1042 didn´t mention it would have an Nvidia GPU.

    Yep it says 1042 Taylor Dual core and MXM in standard nVidia green and silver.

    M56 is the ATI X1600
    1054, 1040, and 1052 are all on there.

    doubtful that MSI will put out a 14" with heavy graphics any time. The 14s are designed to be lighter and portable like the 12s but with a bigger screen, and the gamers are reserved for 15.4" and bigger.

    The market is light for 14" gamers, it's very obvious that there are a few people who really want it, but it's not a huge market.

    a 14" with an x1400 would be good though, and a 15.4" with x1600 and x2's
    that would be ideal

    not too sure about that. 14" seems to be a good size and compromise between performance and portability. At least in the Asus forums, the w3 series is perhaps the most popular model. I'm not expecting a top end card like say an x1800, go 7800.. or even the 7600 or x1600 (although there are two Asus and one ECS 14" line that sport them)..but something like a 7400 or x1400 could be very possible!

    Also im a bit biased as I was hoping for a duo Turion core with a decent gpu, in a 14" factor. As much as the Asus models look cool.. they seem to love putting vents on the right side, something the MSI 1022 doesn't do! :(

    The intial roadmap that was "leaked" showed that the 1052 would have integrated graphics...no surprise here.
