    New dell inspriron 8600 out

    never liked the dell 8500, this looks great with a pentuim m in it instead of a P4M.

    Graphics Cards


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    nVidia® GeForce FXTM Go5650 video controller with 128MB DDR video memory

    nVidia® GeForce4TM 4200 Go video controller with 64MB DDR video memory

    ATI® MobilityTM RadeonTM 9000 video controller with 32MB DDR video memory


    15.4" wide screen. I have a 8100 and its great. nice thing is you can upgrade the video cards and cpu in these things.

    What the heck..?
    Thought 8600 was reserved for the desktop lines.

    Whatever. Maybe in Europe it has a different numbering system.

    Forget what I said, I was being an idiot.

    Mixed up the desktop and notebook number notations.

    Yeah I just ordered one for ~$2200. Not bad considering it was cheaper than the 8500 lined up despite having a DVD burner instead of DVD/Cd-RW combo drive, a Geforce FX instead of Geforce 4, and a WUXGA instead of WXGA. Now for the painful, painful wait.

    Once you get it and have a chance to get an overall opinion of it, could you sort of post a new thread of a mini-review with some pics of the 8600? That would be pretty sweet.

    I'll definitely try to put up a nice little mini review of it once its here (oh such a painful wait). It may not be that great as this will be my first laptop but I'll see how it compares to my desktop gamewise and a few other things. I don't have a digital camera but I'll see if I can borrow someones to put up a few pics.
