I was thinking the same, at one point it is getting quite ridiculous when it comes down to mobile GPUs.

For me, a 460/560M hits the sweet point of performance and portability.

Hell, im enjoying my 6750m, it works great, and when you clock it to 800/1000 you get good performance and 2 hours of use. (usually have 7 hours in OS X at 140/100).
