Fujitsu Siemens intros Santa Rosa-based Amilo Pi2515 laptop

It doesn't look like the flood of Santa Rosa-based laptops is showing any signs of letting up, with Fujitsu Siemens now tossing its new Amilo Pi2515 into the mix alongside models from HP, Lenovo, Sony and others. At over six pounds, this one isn't exactly a lightweight, but you do get some decent specs with that added heft, including a 15.4-inch WXGA display, your choice of T7100 or T7300 Core 2 Duo processors, Intel GMA X3100 graphics, up to 2GB of RAM, a max 200GB hard drive, a dual-layer DVD burner, and a welcome ExpressCard slot to let you take advantage of the growing amount of gear out there. Unfortunately, as is the case with many of the other Santa Rosa-based laptops we've seen, there's still no word on what it'll cost or exactly when it'll be available.

I am so sick of 15.4" screen with WXGA (1280x800) resolution. Asus, Dell, HP (business models only), Lenovo are among the few that offer WSXGA (1680x1050) option, and Apple makes WXGA+ (1440x900) for its MacBook Pro, but overwhelming majority are stuck in WXGA that's also used for 12.1, 13.3", and 14.1" screens.

word! wxga resolution is too low for a 15.4". very annoying... and also 6-cell batteries.

The big question is when the heck is Apple going to announce their line of Santa Rosa MacBook Pro's??? Everyone else has, what are they waiting for?

Apple doesn't pre-announce products - well with exceptions these days. They'll announce them when you can buy them. Whereas all these others announce theirs early - but you still can't buy them or know when you will be able to, so not much difference really.
