Thread Starter 
I've been considering to buy a new laptop, an msi laptop but I'm not sure which:

MSI GE60 0ND-042US vs MSI GT60 0NC-004US
Nvidia GTX 660m vs 670m
1 HDD vs 2 HDD
2.4kg vs 3.5 kg
8gb ram vs 12gb ram
$1.2k vs $1.5k

not sure about the rest.
I like mobility and battery life but I also plan to play games like Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, Diablo 3, SC II, etc.
Any more pros and cons? Which one you think I should buy?rolleyes.gif

I've found out something about kepler architecture and fermi architecture for the 660m and 670m, what's the main difference??

660M uses much less power, and it's maybe 15-20% behind the 670M in performance. Overclock it and you can get close to 670M performance, if not tied. Also, the 660M at stock will be fast enough for all the games you want to play.

Of course, you could get this Sager with a 670M and i7-3610QM for $1130. http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9130-clevo-p151em1-p-4340.html?wconfigure=yes

At $1500 though, get something with a 7970M. The performance gap between 7970M and 670M is absolutely insane. 7970M is 50-70% faster in most games. Overkill? Maybe. Only GPU worthy of a $1500+ 15" or larger gaming laptop.. yes (680M will be close, maybe a bit faster than 7970M.. but probably $1-200 more expensive) http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9150-clevo-p150em-p-4341.html?wconfigure=yes
