X60 Tablet Core 2 Duo?

Sorry i posted this is the X60tablet is here topic but i didnt feel that i had my question really answered.

Hi I was really excited when Lenovo announced the x60 tablet, b/c it was a core duo tablet, and the main reason I did not want to get a x41 was concerning speed issues with it being only a Pentium M processor versus a Core duo or even a Core 2 duo. Were the reasons why Lenovo didn’t have a Core duo tablet in the past because of power issues and not having a Low Voltage Core duo to work with until now or because of another reason? This then brings me to my next question; I noticed that Intel is planning to release a LV Core 2 duo in April of 2007.

Merom was released on July 27, 2006, and has since been adopted by notebook manufacturers.

A second wave of Merom processors featuring an 800 MT/s FSB and using the new Socket P is expected to launch in April 2007. [15] These chips will be part of the platform codenamed Santa Rosa.[16] Low voltage versions are also planned for release in the same timeframe.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2)

Merom being a Core 2 Duo processor and knowing that in April they are planning on releasing a Low Voltage Core 2 Duo, does any one know/ think that they are going to incorporate this into the x60 tablets thus having a Core 2 Duo x60 Tablet? Or is this just wish full thinking? And would it be worth waiting for?

And if they aren’t would most definitely purchase the current x60 tablet that is going to be released, But still don’t know whether the SXGA+ (1400x1050) with its higher resolution is better than actually being able to interact with you laptop with the MultiView/ MultiTouch XGA (1024x768) with the outdoor/indoor Anti-Reflective/Anti-Glare coatings. SXGA+ vs. the MultiView/ MultiTouch XGA I still don’t know which to choose, if I choose not to wait for a x60 tablet that may have core 2 duo.

Since they released a Core 2 Duo model of the X60 (named X60-2), I would expect they would probably do so with the tablet and 'X60s' as soon was the LV CPUs are released.

Might take a bit longer if they want to incorporate Santa Rosa too which is quite a big change to my knowledge.
(they weren't that fast with Core 2 Duo on the x60 either)

Does anyone know if you can upgrade the processors in the X60 or X60t core duo machines to a core2duo processor? On the T60 forum there are a few threads regarding such an upgrade, DIY. It would be very interesting to see if that is possible on the X series also.

AFAIK the LV core duo is soldered to the motherboard, so that wouldn't be possible on the X60s and the X60t.

The x60 though doesn't have the LV CPU so that might be possible?
The thing is (as said) that the x60 already comes in a core 2 duo flavor so it's kinda pointless?
