    I don't know which to get. Upgrading both to 4810MQ, 250 gb evo SSD, IC Thermal, and 7260N wireless card. Sound makes no difference - I'll use headset/speakers. Curious about heat/noise. I can't have it loud or hot. I don't mind a little noise, won't pay $150 to go from little to no noise. Same with heat.

    Pros of the 7358:
    -Maxwell instead of Kepler 860M
    -$150 cheaper

    Pros of the 8268
    -case design (which I don't really care about)

    Any help is much appreciated!

    The 8268 is designed for 100W cards, you can replace it/upgrade it (to at least the 880M) it should cool just fine due to the beefy cooling system. The 7358 is a slimmer package with a soldered GPU.
