    the 3d version of the l702x does not include optimus... incompatibility issue with the 3d feature and the intel graphics card.

    As such you'll lose out on the optimus features (namely wireless display, quicksync vidio encoding and the longer battery life)

    the 3d version would also need the 555m card "3d enabled"... if you want optimus you need the non-3d options and screen
