LG's S1-P555K Boasts HD-DVD Player

Is it me, or does that photo look really doctored? The lighting looks just a big too perfect, and there's zero glare of the screen, which is almost impossible given the super-ultra-mega-gloss screens that come on most laptops now. Conspiracy theories aside, on paper the S1-P555K (who names these things, droids?) looks impressive: an Intel Core Duo processor (speed unknown, I'd guess 2 Ghz or 2.13 Ghz), a HD-DVD player, with a 15.1" LCD (1680x1050 resolution), ATI X1600 (256MV of VRAM), and component video out. The component video out is very cool, though of course without HDCP output support there's no guarantee that down the road you'll be able to watch HD-DVDs once they turn on the DRM. I'm a bit suspicious about the screen size quoted on Akihabara News: that thing has a number keypad, which I've never seen on a 15" LCD laptop - it's gotta' be a 17" screen. But if it's a 17" screen, that small woman must be quite strong to hold it up like that. ;-) Regardless, it looks impressively thin for what it's packing.
