    The dv9700 series has the 8600GS, but check out the 8710p, 8510p, 8730, and 8530 models from HP business as they all have good GPUs too.

    What about a DV5t with a Nvidia Geforce 9600GT which is better than a 8600GT DDR3. Also the 8600GT DDR3 is one of the defective Nvidia cards.

    You should wait. The DV9700 doesn't have any better really...

    your best bet would be to wait for the dv5t, as stated above. As an alternative you could look at the Dell line, as Dell has laptops with 8600m GT.
