So I have never been a fan of laptop gaming. Even as a college student traveling to and from my home it was always so pricey that i could never justify it. But then i saw that the GT 640m is going to be a scaled down version of a GTX 460, and that it can be placed in ultrabooks and still run (presumably) cool enough. Makes the Razer Blade sound even dumber now, as the new acer ultrabook will have better graphics.
"That GPU is the GeForce GT 640M, and it's a 28nm part with 384 cores running at up to 625Mhz each, and a 128-bit memory interface running at up to 64GB / sec, all of which adds up to a theoretical fill rate of 20 billion textures per second, according to Nvidia. That doesn't mean much out of context, to be sure, but it sounds like it'd fit neatly between the existing GT 555M and GTX 560M, neither of which you'd dream of putting in an ultrabook due to the power requirements."

That's also a positive sign for Kepler overall in my opinion.
