Talking Robson technology...
They are adding some NAND flash to the motherboard to store critical information to allow almost instant on. Not sure this is really that new or unique, but it will become a standard feature.

Intel to put NAND flash into notebooks

Users may soon see virtual "instant on" functions in their notebooks thanks to the growing adoption of flash memory--the same memory found in most new iPods. As noted yesterday, Intel this week said that it would begin to use NAND flash memory in its notebook platform to help users achieve faster startup times and achieve some power savings. While NAND flash has been used as memory for digital cameras, cell phones, and MP3 players, the move would mark the first foray for flash memory into notebooks.
