Nothing on the X41 or X50. From the HMM, it appears that the next X40 refresh will have the LV Pentium M 1.3ghz CPU and there will be non-Express models with the X4 Ultrabase/Combo Drive bundle.

The top-of-the-line model will be the 23716VU with specs:
1.3/256/40/IBM-11abg/BT/X4/COMBO
(strangely, RAM has decreased from 512mb down to 256mb)

The 1.3LV versions have already been put up on the IBM site (I think it happened sometime this week or last week)

Hmm...didn't even notice them. Thanks.

Has anyone measured the differences of battery life between the std Pentium-M, Low Voltage and Ultra-Low Voltage models of X series?

If I choose a ULV 1.0 GHz over non-LV 1.3 GHz, do I gain 10 more minutes, 30 or even more?

The Intel site has the measurements. Since everything else is pretty much the same, it should measure out the difference. The biggest bonus for the ULV is that it has no fans. I, personally, think that is awesome as it makes the machine absolutely silent with the exception of the hard drive. I'm also sure the fan takes some power.
