if they launch the ##4# series notebooks until the end of the year or a bit later and only put the mobility radeon 4-series gpus inside, that would be the worst FAIL imaginable, since the 5-series come out in september, shipping till end october, and the whole 5-series is announced to be launched at the beginning, ie. all classes, as well as the mobility gpus.

so please, hp, give the ##4#p models (8540p mainly; 8540w/8740w the workstation gpus respectively) the rv840/870 gpus, best the redwood (mainstream/performance) class as standard, and optionable juniper/cypress (performance/high-end) for the high-end ones, as well as core 2 quad and i7 cpus, respectively.
