Is the 390 better than the 660 and if so in what way? An example does it work better with Basecamp?

I can't tell you anything about the 660, since I've never owned it. I can say that I have learned to plan routes in the Google map engine, load it into Basecamp, convert it to a Basecamp route and transfer it to the 390. It took a lot of trial-n-error effort but now it works! Love it!

Is it better is always the question, we all ask when buying a GPS? I cannot give a definitive answer as they are both good. I like the look and feel of the 390 and the glove friendly screen, was much better to me. Also the visibility in bright light is great on the 390. I do not think either one of them works well with base camp. The program is hard to use. I do not know about the 660 but I had to add a flash drive, as with most Garmin's now, they do not have enough memory to even do the first map update.In the end I bought the 390 as I felt is was better for the money and if I choose to I can add the tire pressure system.

You can use either. If you can find 1600 cheap then go for it, otherwise you won't really benefit from the price difference.

Mine replaced the ZyXEL 660, so don't have an answer for that. I can say this about the PK5001Z after a couple of months of use, no problems like I had with the 660. Speed stays constant, no drops, no grief. I stayed with the old 660 after reading all the problems the 5001Z gave other consumers with the initial set-up. The set-up went flawless. With Vista, it was necessary to use the Pin, while newer operating systems, you use the standard key/password

Thanks, have been tracking the prices. The 630 model is below 900.00 and looks like a good option if the 650 doesn't acome down soon. I'll wait alitlle longer. Hate tp pay more when it was that low. New models will be coming out soon at higher prices, so may see some closeout here.

I'm pretty sure it does. Not sure why you would want to. Performance is negligible compared to a single 660 or 670 and it would cost u more running 2.

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Its not going to be a significant improvement over the 660. But I can't say this graphics card (paired with i7 4770k) runs battlefield 4 flawlessly. If I were you I wouldn't waste the money for such slight improvement, it'd be a wiser, and cheaper decision to get another 660 and SLI.

Two 650 Ti Boosts will out perform a single 760. Its even comparable to a 670 which is slightly better than a 760.

based on the reviews here, the 650 looks more solid. better sat reception, quicker response time, fewer glitches. but the 750 has the newer/better interface and does multipoint routing. i'm getting the 750, and if the glitches are too much of a pain, i'll exchange it for a 650.

I think he means that it would perform better due to increase in cpu speed.Anyways, I bought the ul30vt, couldn't pass on the 699 price for this computer.WOW runs nice and smooth and maintains 30-50 fps in 10 man raids such as ICC, and a little less in 25 man raids with settings all set to high.It even runs games with very high shader requirements such as TF2 without a hitch.Fantastic notebook for those looking to do work, but still be able to enjoy multimedia such as hd video and gaming.

I don't know. I have the 660 and it worked great in that one. It is still doing very well and has a 2 hour run time. I don't know much about the 700 series. Sorry.

Youlll have plenty of Power for your GTX 660. I have the 650W version and it comes with four 6+2 Pins so youll be fine. You may even be able to run 2 to 3 cards in SLI with the 850W.

I have a 650 and haven't been in to see the new 300. I would look at how similar they are. They are pretty versatile. Look on YouTube on how to install them should give you an idea.Hope this helps

Ti versions are always better and in 660 case 650ti is way better.... go for it...enjoy

Seems to be close to the 8500. The specs show it to be slightly slower if I recall correctly.

Hi, The 660s are not new. They are remans. The 390 is the newest one. I very much like the one I have. I have no complaints and highly recommend it. Lane

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.
