Doesn't the 460m and 5870 and probably the 285m except for DX11 outperform the 555m? Seems a step sideways or back in the gpu department and puts in direct comparison with the dell xps 17 3d which has a 120hz screen and can likely be had for the same or less than this will likely go for.

Sounds indeed, like another rebaggage to me,



May be wrong though Alc.

Yep, I would have thought a 6870 at least... its still a downgrade from the 5870 in the 660s but it fits the pattern of going back and forth between ATI and Nvidia cards. Now a 6970 would be a fantastic update. It seems like their just shuffling graphics cards through the unit with little if any benefit.

Yeah, unless they intend to release to a certain area/place/country, i suppose they could dub releases of the 6 series msi's as many times as they like.

So in around 6 months they are going to release a laptop with even WORSE graphics than the 460m?
