    Yes, this with a 9-cell battery option.

    Advantages: better warranty and CS, number pad, altec lansing speakers, built-in webcam, fingerprint, bluetooth, wirelessN, HDMI & eSATA

    Disadvatages: below average battery life (2 hours w/ 6 cell battery), lack of mag-alloy chasiss.

    um... no

    there are no "professional cards"

    the NVS 140m is a 8400m gs tuned for openGL apps

    the 8600m gt is far better even for openGL

    and the 8800 (also m) is FAR better than any workstation card also accounting openGL performance
