    Everywhere I go I see that Toshiba is the first manufacturer to offer the 8700m GT in their laptops, but when will they actually start offering it?

    Well, the 8800M is going to have to sacrifice performance as compared to the desktop 8800 GTX because of heat, battery life, etc.

    I think the 8700M GT is probably going to be the better buy. It is supposed to be a little better than the 7950 GTX, only in DX10 format, which is really good.
