    U might want to try the FAQ's in What notebook should I buy forum. It'll help a lot more. The 8200 and the 5670 and somewhat similar in specs, but then the 8200 has better graphics card, a carbon fibre top, and a faster processor. But then you payin 2000 USD, versus the 1200-1500 USD for the 5672. Its personal preference and also how much money u got. I ordered the 5672 cos u cant beat the specs for the price.
    My 2 cents.. :D
    Hope u make a decision soon.

    heres a review of the 8200

    It's your preference. Do you want a smaller resolution glossy screen, or a higher resolution matte screen?

    If that's not a significant issue (it should be), go for the 82

    I wanted the smaller resolution, so I got the 5672. That was the only distinction. The 5672 was the first 15.4"/1280x800 Core Duo notebook sold with non-IGP graphics. Had I waited, I might have gotten another model with a non-glossy screen, possibly from another company, but it's not a big issue.
