    That $91 difference between M290X and 8970M is a nice handout for anyone considering AMD CPUs :D

    I7-4800MQ + GTX870M is the best option. More expensive than the other options, but worth the difference in $$$.

    now we have 200$ between first laptop and third laptop
    now is the difference between GTX 870M and R9 M290X Deserves the 200$ or the difference between are little ؟
    2- when i search on the internet i find this laptop
    link: XOTIC PC | FORCE 1763 (22-054) w/ R9 M290X (MSI GX70 Destroyer Barebones)

    Avoid the AMD A10 CPU, it will bottleneck high end GPUs like crazy.

    1. GTX870M and R9-M290X have comparable performance, but the AMD A10 CPU will bottleneck the R9 GPU so much, that it will perform at half of it's capability. You will literally get half of the performance of i7+870M combo with A10+R9. Not worth saving $200 IMHO.
    2. This laptop will have comparable performance to the i7+GTX870M laptop from your first post. As mentioned before, GTX870M and R9-M290X have comparable performance and an i7 CPU will not bottleneck any of them. The CPU will be slightly slower though (i7-4700MQ 2.4-3.4GHz vs i7-4800MQ 2.7-3.7GHz).

    $200 difference? Get a paper route for a month or two and save up and get the i7 + 870m. You won't regret it.

    i7 + 765M equals the A10 + 8970M sometimes. That's how badly the A10 bottlenecks the 8970M.

    The problem with the AMD CPU is that it will bottleneck you in almost every online gaming scenario, if at all that's your thing.

    How bout an Ivy generation i7 with a 7970m same as an 8790m? I know it isn't on the books. I do believe that that the i7 with a 870m should be the way to go, especially when you look at the watchdogs benchmark, but on a practical note, remember this if you try upgrading gpu and processors you need to be in a market and proficient where this feat can be achieved.

    I've owned both Ivy+7970M and now Haswell+870M and they're both highly comparable. You can't go wrong either way. Maybe get the Ivy+7970M in a used model for less? It's not like the newer GPU generations have made significant improvements anyway.

    Can you not get the 870M with i7-4700MQ? The i7-4800MQ is the culprit for at least half of the price difference between that machine and the other three.

    If it's an MSI, they all ship with the 4800MQ, at no price increase. The $1400 (actual $1399) seems to point to the middle MSI sku.

    Consequently AMD's best cards are generally uncompetitive with ... but it's also not great because they're not the one setting these new card prices

    In consequence of what? Uncompetitive with an ellipsis? What does this have to do with setting the prices of new GPUs?
