    Any comments on the 9200 vs the 8600? Is the 9200 just an 8600 with a bigger screen or are there other differences in the systems? What is the difference in the UXGA 8600 and the UltraSharp UXGA in the 9200? I could save a nice chunk of cash if I went with the 8600 (and get a better processor)and am having trouble deciding which to buy. I am a software engineer by profession and primarily run Visual Studio, SQL Server...although I do watch DVDs and play an occasional game. Any software developers out there that could comment on the 8600 for software dev? What about 8600 comments in general? Do any 8600 owners wish that they had more screen space? Sorry for the long post-this will be my first notebook aside from crappy outdated junk my company provides for road-trips.

    Thanks!!!
