Intel introduced its new Centrino chipset today, Centrino Pro. It was the announcement I was kind of waiting for before buying my notebook - not so much because I wanted the latest and greatest. More because I wanted to see how much prices on existing products would dip. Unfortunately, I ended up buying my laptop a couple of days ago due to anxiety for a new computer. I'll ask my sales guy whether or not the Intel announcement made any impact on the price of my ASUS F3Jp. Hopefully not. I'd hate to kick myself for jumping the gun early. But such is technology. I'll probably skip the Centrino Pro and get something with a Centrino Super-Duper Awesome Pro in 2011.

I see you took my suggestion to buy your notebook in TW than back here.

Did you suggest that? Hmm... well, I think there were many factors:
1) Price
2) Support
3) The fact that I couldn't stand that eMachines POS shutting down on me every night (often more than just once)

So, I'm pretty happy with the purchase, at least.
