Lookin at this laptop, thinking whether I should recommend my girlfriend to wait till June when the IB and maybe the GT 650M is out.

Will the price of laptops with GT 650M be a lot more expensive compared to laptops with GT 640M?

The guys at Nvidia.. "Hey remove that old sticker.. put this new one".

GT555m - Y570


GT640M LE - Y480

Yeah I know it's overkill for D3. But she doesn't plan on changing laptops for a while after this, so I want to buy a laptop that will last for her.

Wanna ask, what's the diff between GT 650M 1GB GDDR5 memory and 2GB GDDR5 memory ?

Obviously the difference is in the Vram capacity.

No diff in speed and performance unless the 1GB run out of Vram when playing games but less likely to happen.

It uses GT 640M now. Not the GT 640M LE.
Very nice!!

It still does. Look at the tech spec pdf.

Oh, that's too bad. It would've been quite a good buy if it is GT 640M. It sucks I'm missing out on the HP Pavillion dv6t Quad Ed.

Researching a lot of laptops nowadays.
Most laptops around $1,000 has the same old spec. i5-2540M, GT 630M, or add another $100 for i7-3610QM..

LYN Sifus, you reckon I should wait a while more? Will more IB and GT 640M/650M laptops pop out in the market soon?

Definitely, if you can afford to. This is only the beginning of the Ivy Bridge refresh.

Well, as you know, my budget is $1k. If the prices of the refreshed IB goes beyond $1k, no point waiting then right? Even the Acer M3 is about.. $1.3k AUD if I'm not mistaken. Too expensive le

If i'm not mistaken the upcoming Gigabyte U2442 will be price around USD1k.

Comes with :
14" 1600x900 LED Backlight
i5-3320M 2.6Ghz
GT 640M
Hybrid Drive (SSD(upto 512GB) + HDD(upto 1TB))
Backlight Keyboard
Dual Fan (better cooling)
Got thunderbolt port (can opt for eGPU )
18.5mm to 20.5mm thick
1.49KG

Not sure when it will be out though.

Wow. Only 1.49KG?
Ultrabook?

Very very nice. Thanks for the recommendation, will keep an eye on that laptop

Yup, a powerful ultrabook.

hi sifus,, want to ask,, will the GTX 660M in ASUS G55VW provide Optimus support?

AFAIK, they did but most OEM disabled Optimus in GTX series.

Just to share something abit old on AMD Trinity (not sure legit or not) :



Quite impressive I must say.

Holy crap they put a full fledge i7 into 11".

I can't really see the settings for BF3. Is it with MSAA enabled?

GT635 = GT555 ??? my bro getting N55 with RM2.7k

^ yup, with slightly higher clocks.

I have no idea as well. Quite blurry.
