engadget.com — We've heard talk of a quad-core laptop processor from Intel, but Techware Labs has now published what it claims to be "spy pictures" of an actual laptop with some quad-core craziness inside, and it's got some supposed specs to go along with 'em. Apparently, in addition to the toasty new CPU, the laptop boasts dual NVIDIA 8800 graphics cards, a 17-i

They didn't tell you that at idle it reaches about the temperature of thermanite and can burn thru your desk as you rev up the dual 8800's. This laptop also acts as a iron on the fly for fixing those wrinkles before that big meeting, or to warm your coffee, or to make grill cheese at work, IN YOUR CUBE!

The first laptop with liquid nitrogen cooling and a nuclear reactor?

This thing sounds like it'll cost at least $4,000 when it releases....

@computergod, for raw computing power, 1.2 GHz ultrasparc is pretty damn slow, compared to the latest from Intel and AMD.

"MacBook Pro Quad Core"Sounds good to me!

This actually sounds great to me. I live in New York City which means I don't have a ton of space for a desktop. I'm a very frequent Excel user and would greatly benefit from a quad core (I've got a lot of .xls files that take more that 10 minutes to recalc on my curent pentium 4 laptop). I frequently pack up my laptop (which weighs 11 pounds) and take it on vacation. But for all intents and purposes it mostly just sits on a desk. I'm not a super mobile person who needs to use my laptop on the plane, in the park, at starbucks etc. I just want something that I can move around, that doesn't take up too much space, and that has serious computing power to speed up xls file calculations. The blu-ray player and 500GB HD is also a plus.
