Is this a good deal for a laptop?

[Irish13]

Hi, I've been torn between buying an entry level laptop or a fancy one to semi-replace my desktop. I spotted this one:

It's at the high end of my range but it seems to be fully loaded with a 512mb dedicated video card to boot. Is there something I'm missing abuot these video cards? I know dedicated is better and the more the better so why does the 8600M GT which has 256mb seem to be rated better than this 8600M GS?

GT has more processors. That makes a big difference than video memeory.

That's weird! I'm fairly new at posting but I swear I was in the computer hot deal forum when I posted this. Sorry for the screwup! Again, being new at this I don't know how to delete this or transfer it. What does "LOCK" mean and why are you so angry?
