Lightweight Gaming - 13"-14" IVB+650M Machines?

[gamba66]

Yes but 11" screen is just too small, for me. As others have said, if they can fit that hardware into a case that small and light, why can't they do it for a 13-14"?

Well its not exactly lightweight or small, it is in fact very huge for an 11.6 inch notebook and extremely heavy with a 1,8kg compared to normal netbooks

The screen size is just very bad, its way too smal

It's not too bad. It's same footprint as the DM1z and Eee 1215b, which are 3.5 and 3.2 lbs respetively vs 3.9 lbs for the Clevo. Clevo is less than 1.5" thick. No not slim, but considering it's packing power normally in a 15" chassis, I'd say it's pretty remarkable.

Agreed. But we still want a 13-14"

Lenovo Y480 was updated this morning, lots more models, but still same 640LE.

That's really unfortunate, was really looking forward to purchasing the Y480 with the 650m today

Looks like we'll have to wait until June...

I was pretty bummed to see this as well. If I have to wait till June I may just go with the y580 as the weight difference isn't that significant in my opinion. :/

I'm hoping that we see some 13.3" or lighter 14" options around the same time as the Y480 actually offers what it advertised. If the Clevo can pull off sub 4lbs with the 11.6, I'd love to see a <4.5lb 13.3" machine come June.

Here's to hoping...
