    Anyone have this laptop? I am looking for a cheap gaming laptop for my little brother and came upon this laptop on the net. Particularly the one with a Geforce 540m GPU and Intel I5-2450m CPU. Any thoughts on this laptop? Are the specs OK? Any throttling issues?

    nVidia Keppler is hitting the market as we speak- GT540M will be replaced by GT640M which is much better.
    I'd pass on anything with 540M and wait a bit longer till there are more notebooks with 640M and go for one of those.

    Yeah I know, cept I saw this laptop on Ebay for 500 bucks brand new. I thought maybe it was a good deal. I've been using a 3820tg now for a while and it still handles every game I throw at it pretty good. I figure maybe a Geforce 540m would do the same. The new 640m looks pretty enticing but any laptop that has it will probably be at least 750 dollars.
