RE: Eurocom launches quad-core notebook

I used to work for Intel's mobile development unit and was under the impression that Quad Core mobile processors are not due for release until mid 2008. I’m wondering if maybe this puppy comes with a desktop version installed, which if so could cause some potentially big issues with overheating. I remember we faced the same problem back when the Pentium 4 was first released. Private manufacturers started to install desktop processors into laptops long before the official release of a mobile P4, and then we had a backlash because laptops were cooking themselves on peoples laps!

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
