The Amilo Xi 1554 powered by Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0GHz/4MB Cache), Intel 945PM, and support for RAID. The desktop replacement notebook features 17-inch WUXGA display with 1920x1200 resolution and of course, ATI Mobility Radeon X1900 with 256MB GDDR3 graphics card.

It looks like it will replace the Mobile X1800XT.

The Mobility Radeon X1900 it said to have 48 or 36 pixel shader processors and 8 vertex shader processor to outperform the NVIDIA Go 7950 GTX.

I think they're going to use an X1900GT structure from the sounds of it or possibly an X1900XT 256MB. They say "X1900" so I doubt we'll see some of the "X1950" 256MB derivatives, but, who knows.

About time, too bad for ATi everyone and their uncle that wanted a gaming laptop in the last 6 months got one now with an nVidia card in it (mine has a 7900 GTX).

If it doesn't have a full 48 shaders then no way since the GTX in my laptop has the exact same hardware as the desktop version and is almost clocked the same as well. Furthermore the GTX in my lappy has 512 MB vs. this XTX that only has 256 mb which could make a difference in some games. Like I said, too little too late for ATi, I really don't know wtf is going on with them in the laptop market these days.
