I bought this laptop from MSY about a week ago and I love it so I thought I'd share. Good price after cashback considering it includes a 2GB nVida graphics card, 8GB RAM, i5 processor and is touch. Only downside I have come across is the resolution isn't as high as I would like it to be.

GT 720M - Performance
Depending on the clock rates, the 3D performance of the GeForce GT 720M is somewhat above the old GT 620M, but clearly below the GT 630M in most cases. This is due to the 64 bit memory interface, which limits the performance noticeably. In comparison to the competition, the 720M offers a performance similar to the INTEL HD Graphics 4400/4600 or Radeon HD 8570M.
