BenQ R22E
Its undeniable there are more and more laptops in the market using AMD chips these days as compared to last few years. I believe there will be even more coming after the antitrust lawsuit early this month.

Quoted:
AMD-based notebooks are expected to become more commonplace through the rest of the year, as more vendors enter this segment of the market. It cites sources who claim AMD is looking to increase its share of the Taiwanese notebook market this year from 5% to more than 9%.

First we have seen HP launched 2 AMD based laptops last month. This week there is one more AMD based laptop entered the market. BenQ has launched its first AMD-based notebook, which currently only selling n Taiwan according to the source.

The Joybook R22E-T17 comes with a Mobile Sempron 2600+ processor bundled with 256MB of DDR SDRAM, a 40GB hard drive, a 15in display, DVD-ROM drive and 802.11g Wi-Fi. According to a DigiTimes report, the unit is available for TWD19,999 (RM2,380 !! ).

However, I manage to get the European version of Joybook R22E-T17, which is slightly more powerful than the Taiwan verison. It comes with Mobile Sempron 3000+ and above, 512MB DDR333 and 40-80GB harddisk.

Ed has a very good writeup with a lot of good developer information but he focuses on the Ajax part of Volta. One of the most interesting posts was actually by Mary Jo Foley back before MIX 07.

Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing seems to be saying this. So does Nicholas DeLeon of CrunchGear, Matt Buchanan of Gizmodo, and even kdawson on Slashdot. The thing is, they are all wrong. Perhaps unlike them, Ive actually read the entire brief. What I believe the RIAA is sayin...
