    What are you planning to use the laptop for?
    Gaming, get the P8600, does the job and runs cooler than the T's.

    Video editing, 3d modelling, animation, engineering, get the T9600 as you'd need power over battery life for those things.

    Personally, I'd get the P9500, perfect mix of both worlds.

    Agree. I'm primarily using mine for gaming and work so I got the P9500. In addition I got told by the 4 resellers I checked prices with that unless you're going to be doing video editing etc (see above) there's no reason to get the T9600. It runs hot and the large jump in price is because its the "premier" cpu they have out and hence the (unworthy) increase in price.
