    Hey all,

    Looking for a 13 to 15 inch laptop with a better than just good graphics card. I remember the dv5t coming with a 9600m gt but looks like HP pulled a failure card and now they have weak chips in the 15 inch models. I was hoping to keep it somewhat lightweight meaning under 6 lbs, but not sacrifice gameplay while it's plugged in and a decent battery life for mobile word processing and web surfing (no gameplay).

    Or how about Asus or Dell or whatever sold in the US?

    The Asus N50 and N80 are great options. ;)

    I would just suggest getting a palm pilot.

    Here's an ebay auction with 9600.

    dv5z with Radeon 3650 upgrade looks like the best bet?
