    The geforce runs to hot in the envy I believe, atleast thats what they said to me on the phone. Plus the ati radeon 5650 is better than the geforce (to my knowledge) even though it has had its wattage lowered.

    I think that HP will stick with ATI for now, after the past problems with NVIDIA GPU's. I'm talking about the 8400 series which was very defective.

    My ENVY is my first laptop with an ATI. I always bought NVIDIA, but this time I decided to try out ATI and fortunately I didn't regret my choice.

    What is it, that's stopping you from buying an ATI GPU?

    The higher power consumption of the gtx 460m and the higher TDP will void the possibility of going to Nvidia.

    Not that I would want that at all. even if they put the low mid range of nvidia gpu's the gt 420/425/435 they are still slower than AMD counterparts and consume more power as well. And optimus is far from good, or even widespread.

    probably not, go with the new Dell XPS's if NVIDIA is your deal-breaker.

    the 460m is in a whole different performance/power/heat tier than the 5650. If you really want that, you could try the G series
