Have a look& note that these are mobile procs, not "desktop" procs...

*Exactly* - mobile, not desktop.
You can't put these CPUs in a normal desktop motherboard (different
socket). These CPUs are specifically made for the "mobile workstation
laptop" market. Think of these as "Xeon for Laptops".
Intel is the king of product differentiation. And, hairsplitting. If
there's some way of making a buck for any minor feature, Intel's on top
of it. Consequently, TANSTAAFL with Intel - if you want ECC on the
desktop, well, you buy a Xeon CPU. And pay for it.
