I have the M15x with the GTX 260m. looking at selling it and going for the M14x. Is the GT 650m better or worse? What are my up-grade options?
Anything else to be aware of?
Thanks.

Are you kidding? The GTX 260 is completely obsolete now. I have a laptop with a 360m which is a 260m on a die shrink not only is the 650m sooo much more power efficient but it outputs half the heat and doubles the performance in a smaller card.
The GTX 260m is still on DX 10, the 650m is a DX 11 card so you get advanced tessellation and a lot of improvements. The 650m is pretty much double of what the GTX 260m used to be if not more in every single way. -
Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if Kepler is more powerful all around than people first let on. If people are overclocking the 650m to reach near-660m levels, that's pretty impressive :]

How can you sell the m15x to buy an m14x?!
Buy a mobile graphics card and install it on the m15x...7850m,7950m,7970m,GTX660m,GTX 560m, GTX 485m and soo many can be installed on an m15x.Just buy them from amazon,ebay or other sellers. -

The best Video card upgrade that has been validated for the M15x is the 460M. If you're going with a higher model perhaps you can tell us how it worked for you.
