build my own laptop?
Yes, although you can really only add the wireless card, hard drive, optical drive, CPU and RAM. Graphics as well depending on the slot type.

Isn't the bog standard 8600m just an overclocked 8400? I'd be wary of buying anything that wasn't the M GT.

Worst to best (mid-range)
Taken from http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=39568
This place http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html goes for the HD2600 over a bog standard 8600 also.
If you find a laptop under £600 with an HD2600 I'd say it'd be a pretty decent buy. Building your own would be expensive and a general pain in the arse.

Says in the link I think, they'd put that in the high end category, my 7800go has been included in it despite needing a reasonable overclock to compete with the 8600M GT...
Their "big chart" lists the relative places of all cards, looks fairly credible to me.
