Toshiba just launched a super secret laptop with a Core 2 Duo 8700 with 4G of memory and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics card. What do all of those numbers add up to? A laptop that can run Windows 7 ultimate and which should end up being quite expensive, especially since it has a little Ducati badge on it.
Like the Acer Lamborghini laptops these will appeal to a very specific consumer and probably won’t be seen much outside in the board room.

My five year old laptop runs Windows 7 just fine. Anyways though…
This laptop doesn’t seem THAT special to me, maybe I’m missing something here…
It’s the ATI Mobility HD 4570 graphics in it. That’s a full-performance graphics card, not an integrated one. That should allow it to run not just Windows 7 Ultimate, but full games as well.
But, lots of laptops have the ATI Mobility HD 4570? Lots of laptops have the 4GB of Memory too.

Back to my point… I don’t see anything special here.
No, it’s not that common to see the ATI Radeon HD in a laptop, as it adds price to the laptop vs. an integrated video system. The ones you listed may be the only models that do have the ATI performance graphics card on them.
