    Yes, the ATI HD4650 is the graphics card; I think Ken was referring the GFX as an Nvidia graphics card.

    I don't think we have a review of the N81Vp-C1 just yet, but LAPTOP Magazine has published one.

    http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptop/asus-n81vp-c1.aspx

    Gentech also has a few videos (benchmarks and in-game videos) that may help provide a better idea of how well the GPU runs.

    Very nice videos.

    does this laptop have a backlit keyboard? This seems like the best 14 inch laptop for gaming.cant believe we dont have a user review.

    Yeah, the D1 is delayed and no word on specs. So, you could be waiting a month or two without the guaruntee of a significant improvement in specs. But, if you're not in a huge rush, I would probably wait for the new model.
