LaptopMag has the inside scoop on a new concept laptop system from HP’s Voodoo PC division called the “Firefly”. This laptop is certainly a gamers delight as it features an Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core processor, 4GB of RAM, and dual ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 GPUs. Yet what really sets the system apart is the dual display concept. First, you get a sweet 17 inch, 1920 x 1200 resolution display – perfect for fragging your enemies. While you’re fraggin away, you can also check your email, surf the web, or do whatever you want using the secondary 4.3 inch 800 x 480 resolution display that resides right below the larger one. Yes, calling it a laptop might be a bit of a stretch as it weighs in at 13 lbs but then again, the Firefly is a concept system and we definitely like it. Hope to check it out at CES 2009.

• Intel Core 2 Duo running at 1.8GHz (or 1.6GHz)
• Intel GMA X3100 graphics
• 64GB SSD or 80GB HDD
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• 2GB RAM
• 13.3 inch WXGA HD widescreen display
• Measures 12.65 x 9.04 x 0.70 inches (yes that’s thinner)
• Weighs 3.373 lbs
• Touchpad with multi-finger tracking
• LED backlit keyboard

If I only had money to spend.. I’d totally consider getting this system .. although I’m pretty darn happy with my new Sony VAIO notebook also.. (although it’s twice the weight, twice the thickness.. blah blah blah)
