Given that almost all mobile hardware is half the hardware of it's desktop version, or even rebadged last-gen hardware like GTX 280M, I think they have a ways to go still.

even if HD 5870 mobility offers 75% of performance of the desktop part, it will run all current games at full detail at the screen native resolution, that's quite a feat

And we're talking "starting at" $1645. Don't even says you get the 5870 for that price.
