I wonder what price point the Lenovo z370 and v370 will come in at. I'm waiting for the Toshiba R835 to get some competition in the 13" segment before I buy a sandy bridge laptop.
 
Agreed with Guest@15:28. Hopefully the 13" market will be exciting (price v performance) for those actually looking for performance and portability.
