| Here you are the latest Killing machine from LG, the S1-P555K, a Core Duo PC, with a 15.1″ LCD (1680×1050), ATI X1600 (256MV of VRAM), Video Out Component, and a HD-DVD player…

As the HD DVD drive is a player, it will be interesting to see what the pricing will be like compared with Sony’s Vaio AR Premium Blu-ray laptop, which is priced
at a whopping $3,500. Unfortunately with the vast majority of laptops now
shipping with at least a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo, this would possibly make it one of
the first companies to start including a player only again. On the other
hand, going by the LG’s smaller 15.1″ screen and photography, it looks to be
much sleeker and lighter than the Vaio.
