hi mate the “M” prefix in the nvidia graphic cards denotes they are mobile gpu,s or graphic processing units this is nvidia,s way of indicating their mobile gpu,s which are on the whole slightly slower than the desktop gpu,s and the reason for this is due to the fact that mobile graphic cards/adapters have no coolers and need to be underclocked compared to desktop gpu,s so they dont overheat however gaming laptops with nvidia chipsets are normally designed so air is drawn through the laptop from vents and then removed ,but with the cpu,s requiring cooling aswell this can be difficult for more information on mobile nvidia gpu,s check out http://www.nvidia.co.uk/page/geforce_m_s… good luck mate !
