    I dunno... the 9700m GT really isn't that much better than the 9500m GS on the grand scale of desktop replacements. Kinda seems like a waste. Can't exactly game on it (short of 1200*700 res).

    Should've either slapped a 9800m GTS or left it at the 9500m GS.

    The processor and screen are very nice but quite expensive so i'd hate to guess at the price of this thing

    that comment: FAIL

    the 9700 is a decent gaming card that can easily beat the 9650 and 9700 and is between the 8800GTS and 8700 gt. It will def be able to play every modern game (bar crysis) on 1900*1200 on medium

    Get ur facts srtaight

    9500m gs is wack, bruh...i barely can play GRID. I got 4.4 in windows exp index, while my cuz wit 'only' t7500 and 2 gig ram got 5.2 for having a 9600m gt. So unfair for me who has t9500 and 4 gig ram...

    I guess all the specs in the world aren't going to make me feel any better ordering a laptop only available in the European market when I can't even get the answers I need on the 8920 available in the states. Especially in light of the display issues we've all been discussing regarding 1080p.

    I think they should've had a 9800M GT in there.
