Agreed, that's why I would have bought the 8600 instead. Plus WSXGA resolution is nice!

Contrary to the name "laptop" I rarely use it on my lap.

Besides I'm an IBM/Compaq whore, not really a Dell laptop fan (unless it's the Latitude D600/D800).

They're similiar but the D600 is still better, too lazy to find out how/why.

Got any pics of the 8cell battery installed? I've looked around and couldn't find one. I'm thinking of making that upgrade for my 700m, but wanted to see how much additional size it adds.

One of the differences is that the D600 is dockable while the 600m is not.
