Retailer Planning Laptops With Intel Core i7 Chips
An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian PC retailer Eurocom is planning to ship a 12-pound laptop with Intel's Core i7 chip, which might go down well with deep-pocketed geeks. The Core i7 was designed with desktop computers and servers in mind; later members of the Nehalem chip family are planned to address portables. The 17" notebook's price, not yet announced, will certainly be in excess of $5,000."
... that's not supposed to be put on your lap, unless you are sure you don't want to have offspring. Given that this is designed for the /. kind of geek, the question of offspring is probably not too much of a problem anyway :)
The Commodore SX-64, also known as the Executive 64, or VIP-64...
Funny, the name implies it was for business use and yet the picture shows it with a pair of joysticks...
The laptop is 12 pounds: two pounds for the laptop, ten pounds for the batteries.
... it is a compact electric (gonad) cooker. :-)

Which gives you an autonomy of 1+t hours; being "t" the amount of time you're able to keep your cycling power over 1000 watts.
There's a spec for that. It's called "micro-ATX".
THe good thing is, if you leave your lights on, you can use the battery to start your truck.
