    Nice improvement, well at least if you choosing a new one :)

    According to NVidia, 360M is 413 GFLOPs, while 250M is 360 GFLOPs - about 15% performance increase. Will be hotter too (same 40nm).

    Now you know why I was asking about a cooler in the other thread. Probably should have posted this there. Does this change your mind on a cooler?

    Well, I can't predict how it will work. I don't think it will require coller, big Toshibas never had probs with heat in my experience.
    It will work fine, just fan will be more noisy.

    I won't be happy until I see a proper Fermi GPU instead of the BS rebadges that NVIDIA gives us.

    We yet still to see how *mobile* high-end ATI will fare in performance/temperature department. Hopefully wouldn't be too bad, 48xx mobiles were pretty good (in the 18" laptops anyway ;) )
