Product Shot 1 The Pros:8800M graphics card is extremely powerful - almost on par with 9700 or 9800, and well ahead of the more common 9600.

The Cons:Difficult to find. 9.2 pounds is extremely heavy - not very mobile! Poor battery life due to the fact that there is no second onboard graphics for battery-saving usage.
