I'm not saying that yields are bad, but it's easier to get lower shaders with higher clocks than higher shaders with lower clocks, and the later with this gen. seems to have better efficiency than the former.So NV did this to ensure they will get better quantity for the desktop part (which should be needed much much more than the mobile part ) and still have good efficiency in the mobile part while still having same performance in both..latest benchmarks indicates very close performance between the two, but we're still waiting for the official reviews and benchmarks to see how both compares in over all performance and power...

150W its still a bit too much for a laptop. It will suck a typical battery in like 20 min.



As desktop replacements, yeah why not, but then why not to buy a real desktop which you can upgrade later on, and which will provide also a very nice big screen.



The laptop, yeah, you could carry it to a lan party, but for dota, starcraft or counter strike you don't need much gpu power anyway, and even if you will want to play a more advanced game, the other people will also need to have very powerful computers, which in general is not the case. For sure there will be one or more which will have crappy integrated graphics which will struggle even with the above light titles.



I had friends which were saying, we need to push now to win as if more units will be on the screen the computer will not work anymore and we will loose :)
