Please post laptops with 650m or 660m

^lol.

I guess the closest thing would be the Sager that troyguitar posted. If I could get it with windows for $950 max that would be great.

Also, how good is Sager? I've never bought from boutique retailers.

*Also, Sager looks heavy. How much does it weigh?

Here are the size and weight specs of the Sager:

Size: 11.30" (w) x 8.15" (d) x 0.50"-1.46" (h)
Weight: 3.97 lbs with 6-cell Battery

There are regular coupons on DV6's - typically somewhere in the range of $300-400 or 25-33% off, meaning you should be able to get the Ivy Bridge DV6t QE with 650M and 1080p screen for around $900 if you get in on a good coupon deal.

I've heard HP gimps the video cards in their laptops (restricts/limits their clocks).

Are they doing it to the DDR5 650M?

sager
HP DV6
samsung series 5 / 7 (and q470???)
lenovo y480 / y580
toshiba p850 (i think?)
asus n56
msi ge60

Dun know about the weight or price for these cant really keep track

Theres at least one model from each brand with a 650m or will soon have a 650m. Might also want to look into 7750m too as it provides similar performance unless ure on team green.

They've historically done so as a preventative to overheating, and the only one I know of for sure is the Envy 14-1000, which was a first-gen machine, i.e. they didn't have a very broad sample to test the unit's heat dissipation. The DV6 series is on its 7th generation, I believe, and the 650m is available in much smaller notebooks, so heat shouldn't be an issue and thus I wouldn't expect a gimped card.

In response to the last post, I believe it's supposed to be the 7770m that really competes with the GDDR5 650m, while the 7750m is supposed to be more along the lines of the DDR3 version. With this year's lineups, Nvidia and AMD both came out with some really nice mid-range new-generation parts, performance and thermal profile should be pretty similar, so if you're not brand-loyal to Nvidia, you could also consider machines offering 77x0m and 78x0m parts.

Supposed leaks about the new MacBook Pros on 9to5mac suggest that they'll come with 650M GTs, are they any good?

If it is the ddr5 version (which i doubt if they are going for a even thinner profile) and a complete new look then I will look no further. With Apple screen quality is gauranteed....but so is heat and a jaw dropping price tag

Checking the HP DV6, it has 2 options:

NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2GB GDDR5 memory [HDMI, VGA]

NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 1GB GDDR5 memory [HDMI, VGA]

Is the 2 GB significantly better/worth it?

[R3d]

No. Get the 1gb version.
