I want one...but can't get it in Australia...yet

15.6" is too big for this thread.

So I really like the running list y'all have here. I want to take one last gut check before I pull the trigger and settle for the y480 with the GT640 LE...

All in, the deal right now gets a 32GB mSSD + 1 TB HDD with the best processor and other bells and whistles for $949.

If the 650M comes in June, how long would it take to see a similar price with a similar load out?

I am worried that this will back up against grad school starting in August, and I need a machine by then.

Pull the trigger and get the lower GPU now for sub $1k, or wait and see where the prices come out in June with the 650M?

Wait and see. The 650 announcement should be coming soon (so youll know a ship date better then). Moreover, you are eligible for sales discounts 21 days after you order. Meaning if you buy it and two weeks later, the price drops $500 (like it did on the current Y480), you get a $500 refund.

None of these are confirmed 650M.

if your only purpose is what you state in your thread title, Im going to open another thread about thin and light that can possibly game.

Yea i think the point of this thread is more along the lines of finding thin and light 11"-14" laptops with a decent GPU + IVB combo.

nvidia's GTC 2012 is May 14-17. I would expect some news to start flowing there.

Feel free to stay here and discuss, I didn't mean to sound harsh. I think the thread is more 11"-14" IVB+Kepler GPU, so keep the models coming.

I, personally, am holding out for a 650M or better.

13-14" with 650m GDDR5 with a quality 1600x900 screen is what my minimum is. 1920x1080 with 660m would be great, but not likely.
