Ok, now that the cat is out of the bag.

http://global.acer.com/about/news.asp?id=6642

I can give some details to the X1600 laptop that I have been mentioning here and there.

Acer Travelamte 8200 (spec is for the top model,don't know how many variants they will be producing)

Yonah CPU , 15.4" WSXGA+ screen, 1GB DDR2 533/677, 120GB SATA 5400rpm HD, 256MB DDR3 X1600, DVD-DL burner, Built-in 1.3 Mega pixel camera, Intel Pro wireless 3945 a/b/g, VOIP, 6.6lbs and 6 hours of batterylife (87W 7800mAH vs 71W 4800mAH on 8100) and of course the Carbon Fiber lid.

Before Yonah got delayed, they were shooting for end of Dec but now the latest I heard is that they will have sample at the Winter CES in Vegas with actual shipment probably in Feb.

so much misinformation on here. regular yonah's will have a tdp of 31 watts. that means the 2.16ghz yonah will have a tdp of 31 watts. yes that is not an under load measurement, but it is measured the same at current dothans. the point is this: pretty much any laptop and form factor that can handle a current dothan at a given ghz, can handle the same dual core yonah at that same ghz.

We'll see. I don't plan on buying another laptop in a couple of years regardless.

This number changed to around 85% with Northwood.
I suggest that you take a look at the latest Intel whitepaper for Core Duo, because it says the same thing as the whitepaper for Prescott with regards to TDP. Intel's TDP is an average number, not the maximum power draw at full load. Typically Intel's TDP number is about 75% of the actual maximum power draw.

I suggest you take a look at the actual power measurements run with power viruses such as CPU Burn, which far exceed the power consumption of virtually any realworld application and see how Intel's TDP for its mobile line is way over-rated and how top-frequency Dothans and Yonahs barely use 20W even with a power virus. Or how AMD's Turions come far closer to their supposed theoretical maximum.
