I'm looking to purhcase a ULV laptop and might as well wait for the new 1.2ghz chip. I've searched around but have not been able to find a company making a laptop with this chip in it yet.

Also, has anyone used a laptop with a 10 or 11in screen and comment on it?

Don't know about the little screens, but why 1.2GHz? It's only an 8% CPU speed increase over the 1.1GHZ ULV that IBM and Sony both have plenty of.

Don't own one but played around with one in a store. Screen seems fine, you can just move your face closer. But the keyboard.. wow are they small.

my roommate has the 600m and the screen is a 12.1 so i was looking at fujitsu's and they are 10.6 widescreen

the reason i'm looking at the ULV 1.2 is b/c it's supposedly a non removeable chip / socket so that means the production size should be smaller and hopefully that'll make ULV laptops even smaller

By non-removeable do you mean soldered onto the motherboard?
If so, aren't the ULV cpus already soldered on? I know they are on the IBM X series.
