What laptops are available with the 9600GT?

Looking for a mid range 15.4" lappy, but can't seem to find any with the 9600GT :confused:

try the acer 5930G, I got mine for £599 a few months ago. It's perfect

Another vote for the Acer 5930G. I got mine yesterday and I'm loving it so far

Thanks for the replies, but does anyone have any recommendations other than Acer? (I always thought their build quality was a bit iffy)

I would go for a Dell (had an Inspiron for 5 years without fault) but they don't do 9600.

Looked at the HP dv5T which look great but the screen wobbles when you type :confused:

someone correct me if im wrong, but the hp dv5 series have a gddr2 9600gt, where as the acer has gddr3. also the build quality is very good.

Yeh, the dv5 have GDDR2 whilst the acer has GDDR3. It has been said that GDDR2 reduces performance by ~20% over the GDDR3 version. The 9600M GT GDDR2 roughly equals a 8600MGT GDDR3 afaik.

Don't touch HP - bought one a year ago and have had nothing but trouble. Been sent back three times with various faults

I recently got a Samsung R560 which has a 9600gs, the R560 is also avilable with a 9600gt in europe but not in the UK at moment.

************ will build you one; no idea if they're any good though.
