    Which one is better?

    I can't decide between the y480 or the sager np 6110. I dunno I wish the y480 had the 650 :-(

    besides the hp4 and the alienwarem, can anyone help me find another 14 inch laptop with a gt 650, besides the alienware?

    On top of my head is the Asus N46. Only a few 14" have the 650M, most are 15"ers.

    The 650M is better than the 640M LE. the LE is a gimped version of the 640M.

    Not quite. People are getting ~5fps off games with the GDDR5 version, but the idea is that you were asking whether the GT 650M DDR3 is better than the GT 640M LE, which is a definite yes. Just because both are gimped versions, it doesn't mean that the performance will suddenly be better for the lower card.
