Arrandale Laptops: When ?

[wolf2009]

Anybody know when the Arrandale based laptops are getting released ?

For who that don't know, this is intel's mobile 32nm processor featuring a 45nm IGP in the processor.

Thinking, this should save a lot of battery over current offerings.

Need a laptop for university, with good battery life.

Looking at current offerings at Best Buy near about $500. If anyone have any suggestions, shoot. Not looking for performance, even T4300 and a GM45 should do.

Would have gone with HD 4200 IGP, but it's 55nm and consumes more power than intel's x4500. ATI's new 40nm IGPs may change my opinion.

January for the first models, feb for most of the rest.

I'm in a similar boat looking for the teenager's laptops for college in the fall. I'm holding out for the arrandale's. I just hope they are priced similarly to the current gen laptops.

I hope so too, but knowing Intel, they will be priced higher than similarily performing laptops just because they are new tech
