    Lots of people on other forums don't seem to be impressed much by the performance of them. Are they really mere revisions of 9800m series? I'm not sure anymore if sager laptops are worth the money.

    yes they are ... 280m gtx is a 9800m gtx with few more bells and whistles

    The 260M is a relabel of the 3700M, a card with 128 shaders

    We don't even have the 280M yet, let the 300M alone, you won't see it within half year the minimum.

    For the last time:

    280M is an underclocked 9800 GTX+

    260M is a 9800 GT
