Are you guys satisfied with your M14 R2 powered by GT 650M?

Can not really compare the two. The samsung is 17" isnt it? I think you need to decide why you actually want it? For the stronger graphics? Then why have you initally chosen the M14x? portability? It is really what you want. The Samsung is going to be heaps bigger and would therefore be stronger... but heavier... and bigger... and lower portability... desktop anyone? -
I have monitored the GPU/CPU usage and there doesnt seem to be a distinct relationship. The frequency is always locked at 590mhz. Performance does not change from restart as well. It is very strange as I would expect that either the CPU or GPU will max out at 100% usage or close depending on which is bottle necking. But both seem to be significantly below 100%...

How long did the process take? From open to close. -
SO the problem I am having is related to the GPU and it no running at 100%. When I start the games every thing is running good and GPU is running at 100% and is running all good. After I play a bit in game, the usage goes down to about 50 and decreases slowly and after a game (of starcraft 2) I would see the average usage is about 30%. Main difference between my problem and other peoples is that my temps are at around 60C average a max of 70C (no throttling as the speed still at 590mhz and not 200 or so when throttled). So I am wondering if anyone has any ideas what it might be? I am only basing this on Starcraft 2 and Guild Wars 2 as those are the primary games I play. I am running BIOS A03 unlocked (No voltage mod). I am going to try flashing a new bios with voltage mod to see if the performance changes. Any help that can be provided will be greated appreciated.
