    :D Yeah, they wont get one person to buy that. If you add you add in 2 more gb's of RAM and wireless its almost $1500. Then add the promised bluray player and forget it, $1615! :eek:

    Assuming that the 640 is similar in price, that may just be too expensive :(.

    Thats what i have been saying for some time. The GT725 was a great gaming bargain when it launched (especially in Europe) and that is why it was popular.

    But if they price their stuff the same as the likes of Asus, Clevo etc then they will sell a lot less. Especially with only a GT250m.

    Unless you don't want a 15.6" screen. I'm a 17" + screen fan.

    any benchmarks of this system yet? I would think with the higher memory clocks and large amount of shaders it should at least be around the 4670 performance.

    Easily imo. It's a shame they decided to not use GDDR5. That would have been a killer card.
