Rumor has it that Sony's new VAIO Laptops are based on Intel's new Centrino 2 ( Montevina ) chipset and are expected to be released or at least officially announced on Monday, July 14, 2008. The teaser on the Sony website sorta confirms this-

Although I purchased a MacBook Pro because I couldn't wait for the Intel Centrino 2 Chipset given the delays, I have been waiting for the Intel Centrino 2 before making additional laptop purchases.
So the fact that Sony is teasing us with a new line of VAIO's that apparently have the new Centrino 2 processor, this means that Apple is probably due to announce the new MacBook Pro with the Intel Centrino 2 Chips. Sweet.
You can see the Sony VAIO Notebook teaser, or at least what I assume through rumors is for the Sony VAIO notebooks, here. Judge for yourself. Intel is supposed to be announcing that Centrino 2 chipset sometime this month so it makes sense.
The Apple iPhone 3G on Friday and now Intel Centrino 2 possibly on Monday. Cool.
