    Also it is too hot. No laptop could transfer 35W (well, not all 35W obviously, but maybe...10 percent?) of heat from a GPU in a 15.4" form factor (except maybe the C90, but it won't fit in there anyway).

    So, the best option is an 8600m with a 15.4" display ?

    Compal IFL90 (also known as Sager 2090) has the 8600gt
    Zepto has a model in Europe, along with a 14" with the 8600gt
    Asus G1-S has the 8600gt
    Dell Inspiron 1520 - 8600gt
    Acer Aspire 5920 - 8600gt

    edit - Oh yeah, the Asus c90 too :)
