Leaves me unimpressed by the much higher heat and cost 480M. It actually gets beat in several games by the 5870.

No way to tell yet. Remember, the 480 is made for DX11 especially with tessellation in mind. It will do tessellation better is my guess.

I am happy with my notebook and it's card. If it is not the best oh well. If someone buys the current best in 3 months it wont be. 5870 hangs fine.

I would like to know if the NP 8850
have the same sleep & charge capability that the Toshibas have ?

Thanks
