My ebuyer eblast this morning had this laptop as its featured product. Am I going mad, or is this (judging by the spec) the first Yukon laptop available from retail in this country? And if so, WHY HASN'T HEXUS MENTIONED IT!?! ;)
Looking at the recommended retail, it would appear that AMD are going to deliver on their £300 - £500 price target, and stack up the features too. Coolness abounds... now, where's that spare £300 I had kicking around... :drool:
What makes you think it's Yukon? 2hr life out of 6 cell batteries and lack of 802.11n wireless makes me think it's not Yukon.
Yukon is expected in April.
A 690G-based chipset and low-power 1.6GHz Single-core Athlon?Quote:

Yes - the chipset (690E) and new Neo CPU will together only draw 25W.Quote:
