Quad core mobile is already on the Intel roadmap, with availability soon. The G45 chipset is listed as supporting 16GB. On a desktop, this can be achieved with 4 DIMM sockets and 4GB DIMMs, a commonly available part. On a notebook, with 2 DIMM sockets, you need 8GB SO-DIMM, which is announced but not widely available yet. Dual HD (SATA) is already in the cheap Vostro 1700 (yes I got it as soon as it can out). But what I really want is an external x4 SAS port connected off a x4 PCI-E port. Then I want an external storage device for 8 x 2.5in SAS drives. I can get this from SuperMicro (CSE-M28E2) but its current meant to fit into a desktop chassis (for the power supply), so I still need to find a small high quality power supply. Hopefully Dell will make this for me, I will buy one, and I am sure another person will buy one too! for a total market of 2

Laptop computers are frequently used in outdoor environments where sunlight and glare make screen viewing very difficult due to screen washout. The Comp Shade blocks most of these visual impediments and increases apparent screen contrast, thereby reducing eyestrain and helping to control Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).
