Who wouldn’t want a Quad-Core, 16GB, Terabyte powerhouse of a computer, crankin’ a 1GB of graphics power, to sit on their laps in the airport or lug back and forth to the office.

Sound like a briefcase of a computer? It might be, but that won’t keep Dell from the incessant teasing that it will be appearing soon with the unabashed idea that you will want this. Ok, they got us there. We want it, but is the price-point going to be reasonably inexpensive? Will it run that 3D CAD program we all know and love?

See the video after the break.

I would avoid wearing polyester pants and setting this thing on your lap.

On my NW8440 mobile workstation i burn my left pinky when playing games... :(
But the problem with laptops is that you can't upgrade them like a normal workstation so if your company is going to make bigger cad drawings, or your cad program is going to need more you have to trash the laptop and buy a new one.
But i think it will run pro/e :P
