    If you do not intend to overclock take GT628, if you intend to do so take GT627, and save money :) The difference is only the GPU, wich on GT627 can be oveclocked to that one used in GT628.
    Cheers.

    See Here. Bottom of the page - my posts :)
    I have to add something, that I've checked later - GT160 is 55nm production process wich it means that it can be even more overclocked. But I don't think this pleasure will cost it's prise.
    As far future proof of gaming - there is no such thing. Ofcourse it depends on what quality you preffer to play that game. If you are like me and want to play almost all games on max quality, you'll have to change you machine every 6 months, otherwise - 1-2 years. You never know what game will come on the market tommorow.

    The 9800m GS is also 55nm. Honestly the only difference I'm aware of is the default clock and perhaps voltage. Both of which can be changed by the user.

    Yes, there are also newer versions of 9800M GS which are 55nm. But I believe the the ones used in GT627 are 65nm. You'll not need additional voltage in order to achieve the frequinces of GT160. You'll need voltage if you want to go furder, but I think with the current cooling used, you'll just fry your card. :D

    -the 160m gts graphic power is somethin between 9800 gts and 9800 gt(even more powerfull than gts!) while it uses resources as low as 9800 gs.
    -the 628 also has nvidia hybrid-power that can save energy a lot, but i don't know 627 has it or not.
    -628 seems to have DDR3 rams instead of DDR2

    That's news to me, where did you read that the 628 has hybrid GFX cards? That might be worth waiting for to get much more battery life.

    Be clear: the GTS 160M is a 55nm 9800M GTS with the power consumption of the 9800M GS.

    I find it in here:
    http://computershopper.com/news/article.php?bbPostId=B8R7806kE013BEoUQNhsYcQTB4ucdIvoYv1pCz5lwCVADRS7i&bbParentWidgetId=B7u7fSAATI6vzCZjU9VgRtwM
    at the end of article.
    It is a great tech that is truly needed for all of gamers but sadly the 160m only has nvidia hyprid-power (that cans turn off the main 160m card and uses an intragted low-voltage card when not gaming &...) and not the other one that can use both intragted card and dedicated parralall when needed extreme gaming!

    Most likely, it will be in red.

    I think it's going to be worth the wait. Since, I don't really like overclocking. I'm a type of gamer that my rig needs to be fast already and no need to overclock just to play smoothly on crysis. Oh well, here goes another month of waiting. I always wanted a sager with a 9800m gts like my brother, but, I can't seem to have enough money for it. Now gt628 will come with 160M GTS similar to 9800M GTS, so I guess I'm gonna be patient. Goodluck to all that is waiting also.

    What sort of battery life extension do you guys see from the hybrid graphics card?

    That might be one reason to hold back and wait for it in my case.
