    Can anyone suggest some laptops that are comparable in power (ie. has 8600 GT ddr3 too) to the G1S? Iknow the C90 is a good choice but are there any other ones? 15.4'' or below is preferred. Thanks

    The Macbook Pro.

    The Lenovo T61 and HP Compaq 8510w have a 8600GT GDDR3 based workstation video card as an option.

    Nothing yet. Though with Penryn across the calendar, they could wait it out for the 9x00 GPU's.
