GeForce GT 730M and Radeon HD 8550M Are Spotted in Notebook Specs

This winter shopping season, notebook vendors will go to any extant to sell their goods, even if it means rebranding components to spruce up specifications sheets.

EU-based SkinFlint.com aggregated the price of 15.6-inch Acer NX.M6AEG.003 notebook, which features "NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M" graphics, while another notebook, the ASUS VivoBook U38DT-R3001H features "Radeon HD 8550M" graphics.

The two are being sold by reputed retailers such as ComTech and Amazon.de. Neither lists the specifications of the two GPUs, but the source suspects the two are re-brands of the GeForce GT 630M and Radeon HD 7550M, respectively.
