    Dabs.com is listing

    Q210 C2D 3GB 320GB DVDRW VHP £612
    Q310 C2D 4GB 250GB DVDRW VHP £707
    R510 C2D 3GB 320GB DVDRW VHP £524
    R710 C2D 4GB 250GB DVDRW VHP £699

    No detailed specification so far and none in stock, but this suggests these will be the first to arrive.

    There are some more details of the models at Trusted Reviews.

    So far, I can see nothing that I would call a direct replacement for the X65 with its slim construction using lots of lightweight metal.

    I wonder whether the P560 will be the offered replacement. It is the R560 with extra security features.

    An update as of 20 August In UK, in order of increasing price:

    - R510 (with Intel X4500 graphics)
    - P510 (with Intel X4500 and Vista business / XP)
    - Q210 (with nVidia 9200M GS)
    - P210 (with Intel X4500 and Vista business / XP)
    - Q310 (with nVidia 9200M GS)
    - R560 (with nVidia 9600M GS)
    - P460 (with Intel X4500 and Vista business / XP)
    - R710 (with nVidia 9300M GS)

    So, if you want the Intel graphics for best power efficiency then you end up with the P series.
