    Hi, I've been looking around and have decided on getting the Series 7 gamer. It comes with a 675m which I heard is just a re-named 580m. I see that the 680m is coming out soon and was wandering if it would be worth waiting for Samsung to release a model with a 680m. Would this be in a few months, or will it be another year until a new model is released? I'm new to PC gaming, so I'm unfamiliar with how laptops are released. Thanks

    I don't think they will anytime soon. I think only 675m and 7970 models.

    Will the US have a 7970 model? I've yet to see one.
