I talked to the manager today and he said that they should have brochures and catalogs on the Notebook in a week or so. Also he mentioned that a 486-25 Mhz NOTEBOOK is also available.. As a matter of fact, these two Notebooks (386SX-20 and 486-25) are going to be at a national computer show (I don't know which one) in New York in two weeks. So the prototypes are ready and they are aiming for a June release if not sooner. Also, there is going to be a 20 meg and 40 meg version for the 386SX-20 and although prices are not definitive yet, I have heard a price of $1,800 for the 20 meg version and not too much more for the 40 meg version. I will most likely be a campus representative for them so please mention my name in your correspondence. Thanks.
