This seems to be an April fools joke from 2009: http://www.slashgear.com/toshiba-petbook-k9-provides-pups-wi...
not even remotely funny :/

some companies have really bad consultants /agencies working for them.

It was an April's fool.
That's some wicked marketing right there, guaranteed social sharing - however they should have made it for cats. However, it feels a bit half-assed as I feel they didn't go far enough with the joke.
That's ridiculous. What cat needs a laptop? They can already sleep on yours.
