Both G-series systems feature a brushed metal body, a 15.6-inch 1366x780 LED-backlit display and nearly identical internals, except the latter is better equipped for visually demanding tasks such as gaming.

    My understanding was that the G-series was for gaming laptops. Although Sandy Bridge's built-in graphics is impressive compared to previous generations, I would think that a gaming laptop deserves at least discrete mobile graphics especially since only a single letter differentiates the model with a fast mid-range Nvidia graphics from the one with CPU-based graphics.
