    Dominator because of newer graphics and CPU :) RAM is not a problem and also that blu-ray burner...

    I assume this is 680M vs 870M?

    The dominator will be a little faster in all regards and offers more features.

    My vote is the Dominator as the ONE is now 2 gens old.
    Dominator > 2OC > ONE

    Frankly guys, it seems both investments have flaws, the 870m is according to 3d mark 11 graphics 19.56% higher than 680m and 16% in combined 3d mark 11,notebookcheck says its just under 680mx which is 15-25% higher than 680m but what some may not realize is that the 870m is the highest clocked kepler card even compared to 880m, now with these extremely unprecedented clocks the 870m might perform greatly for an hour even 3 hours but what happens if it runs for 6 or even all day for hard core gamers it will eventually throttle to decrease the heat but the 680m reaches similar performance effortlessly without producing that heat because it is under clocked making it more suitable for longer uses.. now performance over a long period of time is not a benchmark and therefore it is often ignored..Anyway I have a huge amount of respect for you Meaker, and Hutsady and please provide input on the whole performance under long hours of gaming and whether it is valid or not.

    Well the dominator 464 has a 1080p ips display too (which no one is talking about for some reason) which is a huge plus.
