It's a little disappointing they went with the x1 though, given its age. Would an X2 have cost that much more over the life of the console? I think it is also supposed to be better on power and heat, which are big issues for a portable.

I didn't read the whole ars technica article, but the digital foundry article went into some detail about Nvidia has been making adjustments to the card that would bring it pretty close to the X2 in terms of the technology used, which should help with the heat and power.
