No mainstream notebook Nehalem until Q1 2010

Well having just read a pretty technical article regarding Nehalem (Core i7) CPU's on Anandtech, I came across an interesting tidbit of information. It looks like we are not going to see Nehalem chips in mainstream notebooks until 2010.

Without mainstream mobile Nehalem until Q1 2010, next year will be a very long wait for a serious mobile upgrade. But if you can wait it out, or buy something cheaper today, the time to upgrade will be in Q1 2010. I’m going to go ahead and revise my Apple notebook recommendation given that we probably won’t see a Nehalem based MacBook until 2010. Buy the cheapest MacBook you can today and make it last, upgrade again in 2010. Ooh, that rhymes.

It looks like I will be picking up my Alu Macbook on Black Friday.
