    The 460m is a far faster GPU than the 540m.

    But if you're looking to watch movies then blu-ray and the additional portibility of the n53 might come in handy.

    Unless you're watching a movie via blu-ray or DVD, the screens are the same given minor differences between each laptop (how each laptop is built).
