Depends on whether you consider the 800 to be a portable.

I don't really need to know which is best, but I'd love to liven up the
group a little.

I've researched this question, just out of curiosity, and seem to
detect a vague consensus that the Satellit 700 was probably the best of
the line. I haven't used the Satellit 700, so I can't offer an opinion,
but I'd be curious to know whether others agree or not. The 700s are
always available on ebay, and I have found myself tempted at times.
