Macbook refresh rumours....?

So how does the Sandy Bridge integrated GPU compare to the 320m? I'm going to be getting a 13 inch MBP, and am torn between getting a new one or a second hand 2010 model...I won't be using it loads for gaming, but it would be nice to have the option!

If you read the last page and a half (big pages, not sure how it works out on standard pages) then it sounds pretty pants. It's ruined me being able to buy a 13" as apparently it can't even handle 1080p movies let alone games. :(

You'd need to either get a 15"+ model, or something else.
 
the new specs for 15 and 17's are on the macrumors site. Can anyone plz confirm from these specs that the OS is on a seperate flash drive?
 
It'll be a shame if there isn't a 13" model with a bit of graphics grunt. I really don't like carrying around anything bigger.
 
i5, i7 Quad Cores

6750m in 15/17 and a lower 6490.

It's only the 13" that carries the Intel HD GFX, but may I add its far superior than older gen' integrated graphics, Type in Intel HD 3000 into YT to see a few videos.

They look like they might be ok actually. If it can play Crysis like that surely it'd manage 1080p. I think I'll put a 5 min clip from a fairly high bitrate movie on my server, then download it to a 13" in the Apple store and see how it fares.

It's the only way to fairly assess it I think.
