Both GT740M and GT650M could be spec with either DDR3 or GDDR5. But due to marketing positioning, we generally find GT740M spec with the cheaper DDR3. And GT650M (just like the current GT750M) could be spec with GDDR5 in some good stuff, or spec with DDR3 and make users disappointed GT740M (DDR3) ~ GT650M (DDR3) GT740M (DDR3) < GT650M (GDDR5) http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html can find out more about GPU benchmark here. Generally, all the laptop models with GT740M will perform similarly in games. So you just go with the model you like. The only way you could improve is to go with models spec with GT750M (GDDR5): Dell Inspiron 14R, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) @RM2499[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), Ubuntu 12.04 , 6 cell; W8SL@RM2699 Lenovo Y400, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M@RM2499, 4GB, 500GB, FreeDOS, 120wPSU, swappable ODD, 2 years warranty (getting harder to find) Negotiate, should be within your budget. Durable and long lasting - pray hard or if you go with Dell, extend warranty to as long as you can afford. thx for replying. i had bad experience with Dell before, wont believe in Dell laptop's durability anymore. i'll stick with lenovo/asus This post has been edited by jakuraz: Sep 11 2013, 06:57 PM
