    Looking at buying either

    Toshiba P200 - 1FC (Radeon)

    or

    Dell Vostro 1700 (Geforce)

    Help!

    The Vostro is the better choice. (8600M GT)

    Both cards fall in the same category and both machines are great performs. But if you want the strongest and are looking at a 17", I suggest pushing for something with a 8800.

    8600 GT is a bit faster than the 2600.

    Can you get any laptops with a 8800 for max £700?
