So, the newest version of that sweet, sweet Asus laptop is this:

It's predecessor was this:

That's it? Can someone with a little more knowledge help me out? I can't see a reason to drop the extra 400 bucks just for a prettier video card.

I am looking to play games, but I'm less inclined towards ZOMG SUPER GRAFUX SHOOTER 7 and more into Left 4 Dead, The Witcher etc etc. I'm rarely into cutting edge shit. Battery life isn't a big deal and weight isn't a big deal. I just want something I can take from my desk to the couch.
