    Just curious what types of performance increases there would be going to the 8130.

    Also, how much better is the nvidia 460m vs the 330m?

    Sandy bridge and 460M are much better than non sandy bridge and 330m. That is for sure...how much better? well, we have to wait for new laptops' benchmarks + reviews to come out...

    if you have just ordered the older version, return it if possible...if not don't sweat it. you will buy next generation technology before the people who buy sandy bridge and 460m...tech always gets better year after year. you just have to live with that fact.

    Having a FHD matte display already makes the 8130 the most versatile 15" notebook. I can't wait to see some reviews on this laptop. Really happy to see Clevo listening to customers that want a great laptop with a quality matte screen.

    In my opinion this will come down to whats more important to you, performance vs mobility. The NP8130 has the 460M which in benchmarks over doubles the performance in gaming over the 330M. The new i7 2630QM is also showing amazing benchmarks vs the first generation core i cpus. The nice advantage of the NP5135 is the Optimus technology which helps with battery time.

    If you want better gaming performance the NP8130 is hands down the way to go. If you want mid range gaming performance with better battery life the NP5135 is the way to go.
