    What's so wrong with the P8600? it's only clocked ~200mhz slower then the 9550 and has half the cache...and cache isnt going to change a whole lot....

    P8400 is on the FW285DH not P8600!
    So over 400Mhz,
    and twice the cache!

    before ordering any laptop, you have to ask yourself what you will be using it for mainly.
