Any new, *big* things coming out for notebooks by the end of the year?

I'm trying to buy a new laptop, and it'll essentially be a DTR. I'm looking at the 9300 since I don't have a lot of cash to throw into it, and I'm already a tad concerned that the non-Ultra in it will be dated by the next big leap in graphics (moreso than the Ultra, that is).

The last time I bought a laptop, it was right before the 6800's were released, and it was too late for me to return my current one and grab up a newer laptop. So I don't really want to make that same mistake.

I'm planning on buying the 9300 at the end of this week some time, so quick responses would be A++.


Thanks.

Big technologies coming out:

16-pipeline GPU's (6800 only has 12)
Dual Core Pentium M (Yonah); due Q1 2006

If you buy a 9300 for gaming now, buy a WXGA+ screen. The 6800 won't hold up well gaming with newer games @ the high res of a WSXGA+/WUXGA+, and lowering res on an LCD makes the image look worse.
