Shiny! Any reason to get the 660m over the 670m, especially considering they are the same price? (the only reasons I can think of are lower power consumption, and the nerd-badge for having a keplar GPU )

I would go for the 660m. It has a slightly faster clock speed and not much of a performance decrease. The 670m is showing about 10% better performance but the 660m is supposed to run significantly cooler as well as draw less battery power when unplugged. Though, there is never really a reason to be using the dedicated graphics card while unplugged.

I had seen those links, but thanks for reminding me. Although I agree that gaming on the battery doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I just don't know why it would be a good idea to pay the exact same price for what looks to be less performance.
Maybe I'll have to wait for some TDP and in-game min/max FPS info on the 660m before I pass any judgement.

im thinking about getting this baby over the np6165

with the setup im looking at it will only be 140$ more than the 6165! is the difference between the gpu worth it?

My NP9130 from Gentech PC will be arriving at my doorstep soon, can't wait!

@qOcOp: It depends on what you will be using it for, personally, I'd say go for it, since the performance gains from a 650M to a 670M is really significant

is 95% NTSC Color Gamut really worth its 100$?

worth is relative to what you value and application and is repeated these forums do a little more searching... If you need color it is good, but if all you do is game they say not worth it. Matte vs glossy is relative to personal preference also. Many prefer Matte, but the glossy is just as good if you play in the dark a lot. Glossy oversaturation of color vs dull color of matte, your eyes determine what is acceptable.

I'd go for it. The 670m is significantly more powerful than the 650m.
