I'm looking forward to find out the pricing on these laptops. Intel expects the new Classmate to be available from OEMs by early- to mid- Q2 of 2010. The 9? models, however, will be discontinued by the middle of this year owing to discontinued parts from ODMs and suppliers. Although the features are considerably expanded from previous generations, Intel’s goal was to keep prices similar and prices should only increase by $10-20 for a base model. Of course, the newly available options (high-resolution screen, 250GB hard drive, GPS, 3G wireless, and Windows 7 Professional) will drive prices closer to full laptops.
