Prescott cpu in laptop

As you know, Prescott cpu will be available around november for the
desktop. How long will it take before this cpu is available for laptop? I
am planning on buying a new computer in a few months and I would prefer to
switch to laptop but I do not want to wait forever for Prescott...

From what I've heard, the Centrino platform (Banias chip) has been
*very* successful in the laptop market. That, plus the fact that
Prescott requires a *lot* of power, would seem to indicate that Prescott
will not be found in laptops any time soon. However, the next chip in
the Centrino family (Dothan) should be out sometime early next year, so
if you're waiting for the latest and greatest laptop, that's what you
should be waiting for.
