FINALLY!! I have been waiting for this upgrade since december!

Does anyone know which chipset they are using? PM GM or GMS?

I want......this one 2525-6NG!! *running to my local IBM store*

You can find all information at this site: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.ws ... MIGR-59154. Including the graphics card! (I think it was a Radeon 16MB with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 chipset... does not say which Radeon though...)

But still nothing about the chipset...

no radeon, the intel 900 is the video on the x41

Nothing new except for the CPU.

A note, I believe it shows that the X41 will use the GMA900 with 16MB DEDICATED memory, not shared. That, at least in theory, is much faster than any pre-9000 Radeon, so it is a good step forward.

EDIT: Just saw that the X32 has the same chip with dedicated memory. That reduces their differences to the processor speed (insignificant for an ultraportable IMO) and the HD form (2.5" vs 1.8" ) and makes the X41 an attractive option (now, if they could get an 1.8" 7k60 I would be the first in queue for the X41...)

And docking options. The X32 has the standard connector that fits in all IBM standard docks, including Dock II with room for a PCI expansion card. Unless the X32 can drive a DVI display (but I doubt that), this is the only possible configuration for a small laptop/big display.
