    What Samsung models in the 13.3 or 15.4 range have dedicated graphics and some security features also?

    I don't know what you mean by security features... but my recently bought R70 has a dedicated 8600m GS video card, which should be more than sufficient to play current 3d games on at least medium settings... I know the x65 also has a 8600 GS and the New santa rosa 12.1 laptop has a 8400 Video card... That's all I know for now.

    The situation in UK is:

    13.3" Q70 (expected within the next week) has the 8400M GPU (probably the 8400M GS, but not certain until someone gets one).

    15.4" R70 (on sale now) has the 8400M GS GPU. R70 with 8600M GS GPU is on sale in Europe but it is currently uncertain if/when this will be sold in UK. I would expect it to come. The R70 has 1280 x 800 display.

    15.4" X65 (expected within the next few weeks) is expected to have the 8600M GS GPU. The X65 is expected to have 1680 x 1050 display - it will replace the current X60 series. Maybe this model will also have a fingerprint reader.

    There is a thread for each of these notebooks if you want more information.
