This is not exactly the case, the M1, and M2 will be selling side by side. They are not discontinuing the m1 model when the m2 comes out. I believe there will be a mild price drop in the m1, or they will continue to release m1′s with lesser specs, while releasing m2′s with higher end specs as time goes on. I’m really hoping to get some news about the m2 in the next week or two. From reports I’ve read they said end of November-December release date. Hopefully it will be the word wide release date, as importing will more than likely prevent the 3g from working.

does m2 is not coming this year? Acoording to Dynamism, next shipment of M1 is coming 27th of November. This pretty much means that no chances of M2 this year. I would really have liked to buy one before this christmass

BassoPT,

“Maybe its ok for south korean market and asian markets, they take everything most of time, but for rest of the world is a no go.”

With all due repect, one cannot in any way (when it comes to technology especially) take the “asian markets” as one thing!? There is very little in common say between Japan and China when it comes to this. Also you might find this surprising but S. Korea (don’t think we even need to designate in this context that we are talking about South Korea! ) has a wide variety of tech gadgets that most of us would love to have.

In fact if one were to generalize, I’d dare to say it is the opposite, where the rest of the world more or less takes whatever Asia sends/sells them. For instance the Japanese market is far from that! They are in fact whining (big time) about a number of things missing on the (in?)famous iPhone, yes in the rest of the world you hear a blogger here or there (or what could be considered “haters”) expressing their dislike with the iPhone but the broad public is pretty content. Not so in Japan.

Bottom line Asia is huge with a wide variety of gadgets and level of technology implemented.

As for leaving out goodies, this is all about money and profit, you need to be competitive in the market today but at the same time there has to be some profit margins so you can continue on being in business!

Yeah they coulda added all that, and then put the price out of range for their market. but i do aggree that it really shouldnt be less then 16gb ssd. 8gb may limit you to XP or a lite version of w7. I think they have a really nice product, i am almost swayed away from the x70 with the 1.6ghz processor, but that screen size is just too small for my taste i think ( though I have never seen or used a screen that small ).

one thing I fear is battery …
m1 had a smaller battery and a shorter battery time than that of s5 from
the begining.
Now they have upgraded many things but if the battery stays the same
no more merit of long battery(maybe not that long but still longer than
most traditional notebooks)
if they upgrade the battery two, no more merit of light device;;

What? UMID M1 does ~4. 6 hours would be a miraculous achievement.

Expect slightly lower battery life with the higher rated processor and optical mouse. Underclocking the processor will probably still be possible though for better battery life.
