    LOL the GT610 GPU is pointless, it's slower than the intel HD4000 GPU integrated in the CPU. You might as well just buy an computer without dedicated GPU - and probably save money.

    ^ agree.
    There are better versions of the new K series, some have GT 630m (it's a renamed GT 550m).
    A video of K55VM -gt630m

    Also, I'd wait for a review with details on temperatures...
    And if you don't really need an i7 (most people don't), you could get an i5 which will be released in june.
    Why an i5 ? Cheaper and lower temps.

    GT630m is a re-brand of GT540 right?
