    Most mainstream multimedia laptops have GT 650M at the moment. Announced in the first quarter of 2012 for laptops and now it's almost the end of the year. It's time for Sony should build a new Vaio S15 model or at least update their current one to compete top manufacturers. When do you expect it will happen?

    Considering they released a refreshed version a month ago, never. The S15's successor in the spring will have some new GPU in it.

    I think next year's will have a 750m - which is a rebranded 640m LE

    Because Nvidia always releases some "new" cards every year, although as lewdvig mentions they are often rebranded "old" cards.
