    NBR forums will automatically create links for PC manufacturer names that redirect to that manufacturers website...usually to a random notebook model if no model is specified.

    Yeah manye manufacturers have started adopting the new HD4xxx series from ATI.

    - HP has the HD4650 as an option in their dv6 notebooks.
    - Dell has an HD4570 as an option on their new Studio 15 line
    - Asus has an HD4650 in their N81Vp, the HD4870x2 in the W90p as stated above, the f6v has the HD4570 and there are other models which escape me at the moment.
    - MSI has the HD4670 in their EX625 also.

    Those are the ones that come off the top of my head, but there are probably more and more to come as the HD4xxx line gradually replaces the HD3xxx series.

    It'll probably happen a few months down the line. The Studio line got refreshed after a while of being out for sale so since the XPS 16 is still new, I think they'll wait for other new technology updates this year(Windows 7, Intel Capella etc) to update the GPU as a whole refresh.
