    I need to make a decision on which processor to go with. Definitely sticking with the i5 for the better battery life, less heat and Optimus graphics. So it boils down to the 460M or 560M.

    What kind of difference in performance are we talking about between the two? When would the 560m have a clear advantage?

    Seem to remember reading there was mostly a negligible difference between the two not worth the additional outlay.

    I say 560M if you feel to get more speed and all
    But in gaming there is a negligible diff of 1-2fps max
