    Looks very nice!

    But the 650m introduction seemed to be pretty short for the phenomenal new kepler GPU generation ^^ Also that you can choose between a 630m and 650m seems suspicious

    You mean 5899 Yuan. 5899 yen is $70 lol

    Well, this laptop's about $1k so I have hope that laptops with 660m are faster than 570m while still being relatively the same price.

    I think you can actually overclock the GT 650M to GTX 660M speeds assuming both are GDDR5...

    Does anyone know about releases outside of china? Are there any plans?
    In Europe we dont get 14 inch notebooks too often, for example the y470 was never really released here (atleast in germany)..

    And does it have a removable battery?

    This notebook sounds excellent except for the ULV proc

    So far I have not seen this anywhere other than those two countries. The Q470 looks like an interim model to me...

    I watched the review videos and it looks like there will be an i5 option.

    Also, is the case plastic?

    It hasn't been mentioned yet (I think) but this is the Samsung SERIES 5 500P4A

    hopefully this isnt crippled like the lenovo y480, alot of people on the y480/y580 specualtion forum just learned that the y480 so far is configured with only gt 640m probably LE ( not even kepler) gpus.

    now lol probably they will start migrating over here to see if this really comes out hopefulyl with a non-nerfed gt 650m hopefuly gddr5 and plzzzz a 900p screen or higher.
