    Hey guys. I posted this in the appropriate forum but didnt get any feedback so I thought I would just ask here. Was considering buying the np7358 but was wondering if the np8268-s was worth the few extra hundred?

    The 8268-S has considerably more power, better cooling (2 fans vs 1), and is more upgradable as the 7358 has a soldered GPU.

    The NP8268-S is their high end gaming 15.6" vs the NP7358 is the mid range. If you're after gaming performance then yes it would be worth it.
    The NP7358 does a pretty respectable job with the GTX 860M Maxwell GPU though. It depends on which games you play and how high of settings you want to put them at.

    I would stick with the AC 7260 since it has the new AC support.
    Sounds like you got everything in line, there's always the GTX 880M ;)

    Just for reference the 870M is about 30% faster than the 860M.
