Hi, I notice Acer have come out with Dual Core processors....selling at RM 3600 plus.
When will the Centrino's still be available?
Usually how long do they phase out the old technology?
I need to know, so I know how long to wait and see.
Thanks.

Saw it in Low Yat plaza laa.....just reached the shops on Fri. For now...only Acer have this. Other brands will follow suit very soon. Perhaps next week.

Yeah.....all 15.4 inch. I think eventually 14.1 inch will come. But i think its Acers strategy....not to come out with 14.1 inch first, as this will affect the sales of its Centrino range which mostly in 14.1 inch.
Perhaps another 1 or 2 months......they will phase out Celeron, which is selling at RM 2199 like hot cakes now. Then Centrino will be the lower ends and Dual Core will come out with 14.1 inch, which will capture the mid end and high end market.
Just my opinion, any comments?

So.......how much longer do we need to wait here....for the Acer Dual Core 14.1 widescreen? I can't wait to get one. 15.4 inch is just hurting my back...even with a Rucksack Revolution.
