    I like the features of the 9200, but the portability of the 700m. I heard the 700m has poor video quality. Is this true? What would you recommend? I want a powerful system that is also somewhat mobile.

    Thanks.

    What are you going to be doing with it? In general you're going to have to decide if performance or portability is more important.

    Is the 8600 sort of in the middle of both systems?

    no doubt the 700m has poor graphics quality, it has an intel integrated, compared to a MR9700, and soon to be Geforce Go6800
