I have checked all of the usual suspects but I cannot seem to find a middle weight, 4 - 6 lb, notebook with video worth a dam. Most of them have either the 5200 from nVidia or the 9700 from ATi. Is there a middleweight that is using the 6800 or the X800? Does anyone know of a company with plans to include it? I will be doing a lot of long distance travel here in the very near future and want something that won't kill my back but I can still game on when I get where I need to go. Thanks.

Aside from the big Sager 9860, the only other PCI-e notebooks I know of are HP's ZD8000 and Sager's upcoming 7620. The ZD8000 is in the 12 lb. category and the 7620 weighs in at about 10 svelte pounds.
 
no middle weight will use those...the mobile pci-e will have 3 categories based on thermal allowences...thin, middle, and DTR...the 6800 and X800 are in the DTR category, and thus you can't put them in the others...when the other models finally come out they will have their own set of graphics cards that can be switched out, but always behind that of the DTR

Could not have said it better myself. You would probably be looking at an x600 mobile in the "middleweight category" with the new pci express mobile cards which is extremely similar to the m9700. I would imagine nvidia has a 6600Go in that category as well. Dunno if that name is correct as I have not really paid close attention to nvidias mobile cards but you get the point :D
