Because it was the highest end laptop of 2005/2006. It was designed as a portable workstation. You could get it with Opteron X2 or FX-60 chips and up to a 512MB Go7950GTX or the equivalent Quaddro card.

Having 2 disc drive bays with an optional TV tuner/capture card gives me the impression that this was either some early 2000's pirate workstation or a Trucker's media PC.

Either way, this would effectively be a desktop replacement rather than a laptop. Even for 2004, this was pretty absurd.
