Dell Unveils Decked Out Mobile Workstation (Precision M4500)
Want to make waves in the mobile market? Slap a Core i7 Extreme Edition processor into a 15.6-inch chassis and call it the "world's most powerful" mobile workstation in its size class.
That's exactly what Dell has done with its just-announced Precision M4500. In addition to the super fast processor, the M4500 also boasts Nvidia Quadro FX 1800M graphics, an optional SSD MiniCard (another first for 15.6-inch mobile workstations), an optional HD+ sRGB LED screen, optional 3MP camera, and support for 32-bit and 74-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and XP, as well as Red Hat Linux 5.3 64-bit support.
"The Dell Precision M4500 establishes new heights for performance and mobility for a workstation," said Greg Weir, senior manager, Dell Precision workstations. "This system provides the freedom to discover, create and imagine on your terms, wherever creativity takes you. Top that off with the assurance that you are backed by our robust ‘eco system’ of ISV partners and our ability to deliver the application performance you need to be productive…now that’s getting it done!"

So moving up from 64bit isn't going to be as dramatic as going to 128bit computing? So 74bit computing is coming first.
What Extreme Edition CPU is being used? The new 6core I hope?
And check this out. Lookit.
SSD's are alot thinner if you remove the cards from their enclosures they don't need to be as protected from contamination as much as mechanical hard drives do so you could stuff 2 or even 3 large SSD's in a normal sized laptop and staying at about the same size as it would be if it were using just one 2.5 mechanical hdd. I don't know about you but I would love to have a laptop with 3 256Gig SSD's in raid zero. That's pretty fair storage for a laptop.

I have a feeling that 64 bit was implied, but there was an unnoticed typing error.
There is no 74 bit computing, you silly bunch of air-conditioner-boys!
