Its time to upgrade my laptop and I am looking for the lightest 8600m gt with a 15.4" wxga+ or better resolution. I have found it hard to search by video chipset, screen resolution, and weight. I really don't want one that is heavier than 6.5 pounds as my current laptop is 6 pounds. I use these for work and play. It seems like most of the Asus are 6.8 or more. The Dells are 6.5 with the 6 cell, but I would need the 9 cell for most of my travel. The MBP seems to be the lightest one but surely someone else makes a similarly equiped and weighted Wintel machine.
Any help appreciated.
EDIT** I decided to put additional specs in to help.
I need 3+ hours of battery life doing moderate work. I was thinking of the 2.2 or 2.4Ghz C2D with the Santa Rosa chipset. I mostly do basic stuff for work (ie. domain admin, server management, email, word, etc) and I play a few games when stuck on the road. Heaviest use games are Oblivion and WOW.
