>Only reason I can see for a high end graphics loaded notebook is someone running a Graphics program on the road like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop and that's tenuous because what graphic artist wants to design on a notebook? < Depends on what you mean by high end. Remember, high end has a tendency to keep coming down. For a true high end notebook, one obvious application is field research. For example, oil exploration requires both high end compute power and good visualization in a portable unit. For what is currently high end, the market is primarily moving this into the mainstream. Once the power of today's $3600 notebooks filters down to the under $1800 price point, many consumers will be purchasing these notebooks as desktop replacements, rather than spending $1000 for a low end notebook plus another $800 for a desktop. The mobile nForce plus Thoroughbred/Barton should be ideal to address the needs of this market.
