I want to buy a LENOVO IdeaPad G550A and the specification says it has an NVidia NV10MGS video card, but I can't find any info on this card on Nvidia's site or anywhere else on the net.
Why is that? I thought an nvidia page should turn up with the specifications when I search for it, but there is nothing. Where can I find some info about this card?

I can't find the exact match for a NVidia NV10MGS. nV10 was the codename for one of nVidia's earlier graphics card, (and IMO a classic) - The GeForce 256. Given that you are looking to purchase a new one, I'm inclined to believe that this is not quite the one you're looking at.
Further probing revealed a possible match - The Geforce G1xxM series ( which were introduced rather recently, as rebadged m 9xxx series) do have a code name of N10M-GE.
So I suspect you are actually looking for reviews of G105/G110/G130M series of chipsets.

On an other site the model is written as NVGM+N10M. Your explanation seems convincing about the NV10M part. But then what is NVGM? – None – 2010-01-07T19:21:10.517
No idea. The only reference Google bring out of NVGM is a file ( nvgm.inf ) which stores the device identifiers of various mobile chipsets so that the drivers can identify them. – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-01-07T20:35:02.643
I'd be more concerned with the fact that Lenovo doesn't even list this model on their website. Sounds like an outdated model. – th3dude – 2010-01-07T16:50:02.130
Well, according to Google the Lenovo G550 was reviewed last August as a new model, so it can't be that outdated:

Unfortunately, the model in the review has a different video card, so it doesn't answer my question. – None – 2010-01-07T17:02:45.100
