    Well the GTX260M is probably the 3rd best single GPU solution you can find(being behind the GTX 280M and the HD4850) so there isn't really anything bad about it.

    Other than that, the only better thing you could find would be a refurbished M1730 with dual 8800M GTXs/9800M GTs which would best the GTX 260M, but it's built on an aging platform(2 generations old).
