Yep.
Add Dell - they are announcing a new light weight Laptop using the new 700 MHz Low Voltage Pentium III Mobile CPU that Intel introduced today.
"The Latitude L400 features Intel's® Low Voltage mobile Pentium® III processor at 700Mhz, a high-resolution 12.1-inch XGA screen and ATI Rage Mobility M graphics controller with 4 MB SGRAM and a comfortable 95 percent full-size keyboard. "
