Cringe - Re: "Paul says there are quite a few Cumine notebooks available, but those are up to 500MHz only, and from a .18 process standpoint that's no biggy."
No biggy, huh ?
Here's a "No Biggy" announcement from Dell that you may ENJOY !
"Dell also launched a new version of its ultra mobile notebook, the Dell Latitude CSx, with Intel's fastest mobile processor. "
I couldn't find any mention of an AthWIPE CPU in any of Dell's product announcement.
Kinda makes you want to CRINGE - eh, Cringe ?

M2 PRESSWIRE-9 December 1999-DELL: Dell announces new ultralight Latitude notebook PC (C)1994-99 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
* Company Also Enhances Its Ultra Mobile Offering
Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL), the world's leading direct computer systems company*, today announced its new ultra light notebook PC designed for corporate customers, the Dell Latitude(tm) LS. Dell also launched a new version of its ultra mobile notebook, the Dell Latitude CSx, with Intel's fastest mobile processor.
"At just 1.6kg, the ultra light Latitude LS is ideal for customers who travel frequently and demand the lightest weight possible without sacrificing performance or usability," said Jon Powell, Regional Product Marketing Manager, Notebooks, Dell UK & Ireland. "As an ultra mobile, the Latitude CSx offers customers mainstream performance features, such as the fastest mobile processors available, in a 2kg package."
New Ultralight
In a slim 25.7mm, 1.6kg magnesium alloy chassis - the Latitude LS combines usability and performance with small size and light-weight. It features the latest generation mobile processor -- an Intel Mobile Pentium III at 400MHz -- a bright, readable 12.1-inch TFT SVGA display, and a comfortable keyboard that allows for touch-typing. In addition, the Latitude LS has an integrated 56.6 Kbps1 modem and Ethernet network interface card, SDRAM capacity of up to 128 MB, hard drive storage up to 12 GB2 and is Microsoft Windows 2000-ready.
Available now, the Latitude LS comes standard with 64 MB of RAM, 4.8 GB1 hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, CD-ROM drive and a three year international service plan with next business day onsite service3 for GBP1,591.
Options
The Latitude LS uses the same external peripherals including DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, floppy disk and LS-120 drive as the mainstream Latitude C-family notebooks. These devices attach externally to the Latitude LS, making it easy to configure without compromising portability. The LS comes standard with a four-cell Smart Lithium-Ion battery. An optional six-cell battery is available for GBP664.
For convenient network access and cable management on the desktop, the LS has its own advanced port replicator with the following ports: pass-through Ethernet and modem, serial, SVGA, Universal Serial Bus, parallel, DC-in, external media bay connector, microphone-in, line-out, and two PS/2 ports. The advanced port replicator weighs less than 400g and is available for GBP1324.
New Ultra Mobile
The new Latitude CSx adds Intel's fastest mobile processor - the Pentium(tm) III processor at 500MHz - to Dell's Ultra Mobile offering. The slim, lightweight magnesium alloy chassis of the CS holds a full-size notebook keyboard and a bright, high-resolution XGA 13.3-inch active matrix screen.
Available now, the Latitude CSx comes standard with 64 MB of RAM - with capacity up to 320 MB SDRAM - a 4.8 GB1 hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, a CD-ROM drive and a three-year international service plan with next business day onsite service3 for GBP1,8994.
The Latitude CSx uses the C-family peripherals attached externally and supports direct connect docking to Latitude C-family docking solutions.
Dell designs its Latitude notebook line for large business and institutional customers who value a low total cost of ownership, a consistent and reliable product, managed technology transitions and optimum performance in a connected environment.
