    I read a thread on here before that HP does not offer the 8600gt or better, because they reserve the better video cards for use to Voodoo PC?

    Or is this untrue, HP is justing testing the cards out before putting it up for customers?

    The Pavilion laptops are suppose to be entertainment laptops, not gaming laptops, so I expect that is why they don't have the 8600M GT.

    I don't really know why though. It would make me a happier customer :D

    HP doesn't offer the 8600m GT for their Pavilion line and it is highly doubtful that they ever will.
