So Tom's, it seems you need to snag one of these and put it to the test.

I really don't see the point of going for a desktop quad-core. The laptop and desktop quad-core i7s are virtually identical, minus a slightly reduced clock speed on the laptop variants that shouldn't even be noticeable. On the other hand, the laptop variants are built on a chipset designed for mobile, and eat up significantly less power. And the temperatures mobile chips are routinely subjected to are much higher than desktop ones were ever built for.
