22 watt of idle power is actually not that impressive. PowerTop claims my 17-inch Dell XPS, with a Core i7 2630QM and an nVidia GeForce GT555M can manage 10 watts when it's not doing anything and screen brightness is lowered. Most of that power savings comes from spinning down the hard drives, and the discrete GPU, but since the reviewed laptop has an SSD, it doesn't make much difference. I don't understand where the 22 watts comes from.
 
This is pure marketing.
Systems like these already existed from alienware M11x.
Even if this system is slightly faster or lighter, the concept is exactly the same.
The cost is so high you can get a 17 inch desktop replacement with a much stronger hardware.
 

Form factor yo!
