Hi All

Please see spec below.
I am mainly going to be using it for gaming. Not really looking to use it on the go but I travel a lot and I will always have access to a power socket so battery life is not an issue.
Only concern I have is the 460m. I can't really justify the price jump from the 460m to the 485m.
Just worried in case the 460m will become a bottle neck on the system.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't worry too much about bottlenecks because there's always going to be one in a system, this laptop will be fine for gaming at reasonable settings.

Cheers Phoenix. Been waiting since last October to order a laptop and I keep on holding off. Just ordered the spec above. Let the waiting begin.
