Now you are lecturing me about how to design low-power system. Tell me something I don't know. I am very well aware of the issues involved. If Intel moved their announce date up, it isn't the fault of the OEMs, it is Intel's. They should have a handle on the time required to produce a laptop, as does AMD.
