MSI GT70 0NC-013US 17.3" Core i7-3610QM/128GB SSD/NVIDIA GTX 670M Gaming LAPTOP


Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 086264U Notebook Price $977
Core i7 2670QM / 2.2 GHz, RAM 8 GB, HDD 750 GB + 64 GB SSD, DVD±RW / BD-ROM, GF GT 555M / HD Graphics 3000, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN : 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 15.6" Widescreen LED backlight VibrantView TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ), camera
 
G75 has dual HDD bay. Lenovo Y580 can take an aftermarket ODD to HDD caddy. Don't even consider the Y570, the GT 555m is no match for GTX 660m. GTX 670m is last gen rebadge that use more power but only a few percentage better in gaming performance compared to GTX 660.
