    Are there any retail laptops that offer the nVidia 8600M GT graphics card while keeping the overall price under 800? Thanks.

    Edit: any equivalence of the 8600 would also be appreciated. Thanks!

    The Vostro 1500 should fit the profile.
    Check this subforum for coupons on how to get a lower price.

    Hmm...strange. Keep an eye out, because Dell changes the configuration options to manage demand for parts. It might come back.
