No. Any quad-core laptop available to buy right now is a desktop quad core chip crammed into a laptop, such as that ridiculous Sager (desktop quad-core, SLI 8800GTX, 3x HDDs in RAID5, dual optical drives, etc.). This new one that is open for pre-orders however will use the soon-to-be-released mobile quad cores.

Antec Sonata III w/ 500W EarthWatts, Abit IP-35E, E7300 w/ Xigmatech HDT-S2183, 2GiB DDR2 800, Gainward 8600GT SilentFX, 160GB Barracuda, 60GB DiamondMax, RAID5 [320GB|320GB|320GB] Barracudas
MacBook, T5600, 2GiB DDR2
