Tell me about it. It's rare to see any laptop with a dedicated gpu for less than $600 most of the time when a $250 laptop can do everything BUT gaming. Either it costs $350 to put a basic GPU into a laptop or there's something very screwy going on here.

I dunno, that 820M only has 96 CUDA cores on a 64bit DDR3 interface. Can it actually run WoW without looking like trash?

$439.99 - $40 Promotional Gift Card = $399.99

You're getting the same processor, same ram, double the hard drive size, slightly faster video card, and FULL 1080P screen! :)

The reviews don't look steller. It seems to have serious issues upgrading the ram.

intel hd graphics have improved a lot imo. I don't know the 820m but I'd guess the intel hd is not far behind it in performance and a lot better on battery life.
