GPU is defo pretty weak as I seen some with a smallier drive but a GT540M. The price is quite decent, even got a back lit keyboard too. Strong CPU and good amount of ram so it comes down to you in the end.

its certinally capable, at the moment I m gaming ( on a laptop) with a GT210 and it manages to play fallout NV on med at 720p no AA

As my normal laptop is misbehaving -.-
 
That's very similar to what I got from the outlet, only mine has an i5 and cost around £410.

The 525m is not a great GPU, but it's basically the same part as the 540m and 550m but with a lower clock speed. Mine clocks past 550m speeds comfortably within tolerable temperatures, and I don't think that's particularly unusual so it's worth considering whether a laptop with a 540m for instance would really be worth considering over this one. (YMMV, of course...)
 
They're both based on GF104 architecture, but the 680m has far more CUDA cores (1344 vs 384), and is a 25nm part (compared to the 40nm 675m). In benchmarks, the 680 is about 50-70% faster, as far as I can see - although both are very decent laptop GPUs by most measures I'd say.

Alienware 17" don't have the gtx680 option ATM. I'm not spending that much on a laptop for a 50% slower GPU. Thanks for clearing it up don't know too much about Lappy GPUs
