Interesting!

So no X300 series update is planned for Calpella at least in the near future. And looks like only the SL series are expected to have a Montevina "refresh". I wonder what that refresh will include.

They're predicting a substantial model change in December 2009 to the Intel Calpella platform across the Thinkpad Line. That would be around a year and a half between major model upgrades.
