Best Buy already stocked up on the Core i5-equipped
VAIO Sand
Satellite E205, and now it seems that everyone else is following suit. Just weeks after Intel
announced that it would be releasing Core i5 and Core i7 chips for the mobile realm, the usual suspects have already outed a number of refreshed rigs that include said slabs of silicon. Sony's 14-inch
VAIO CW is now available from $829 with a mobile Core i3, while the $1,120 version ships with a Core i5, NVIDIA's GeForce GT 330M CPU and a Blu-ray combo drive. Dell has obliged by adding a 2.53GHz Core i5 to its 15-inch
Studio (available now for $999.99), and there's even a version that ships with Netgear's
Push2TV adapter for taking advantage of
Intel Wireless Display technology. Over on the desktop side, Acer hasn't wasted any time by updating its
Aspire G Predator with a sultry black shell (as opposed to the old orange one) and a 3.06GHz Core i7-950 processor, though the $3,185 MSRP should scare away all but the hardest of hardcore. Seen any others get the Core i5 / i7 bump? Shout 'em out in comments!
