    Each one has 2GB, for a total of 4GB. Call ms and ask if there is a GPU in the ultrabay.

    But still, even if this were single GPU, it's still a hell of a deal considering you get 16GB, FHD, i7 and Touch.

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but where on that webpage does it mention a touchscreen? To my knowledge, the Y Series has never had a touchscreen option.

    Microsoft released a version a month + ago that included a touchscreen version for 1200 dollars, and it was the only one of its kind.
    I'm assuming this is the continuation of that model, with also extra additions.

    But it no longer specifies the touch screen. If it is SLI w/touch screen for $949 that is a good deal.

    Cheers,

    The only mention of a touchscreen that I see is in the URL of that link. If the touchscreen part is true then I would jump on it in an instant. My research, however, has showed just about no proof that a touchscreen Y510p actually exists or has ever existed.

    Call tech support and ask. But still a good deal for 949$.

    Just called the Microsoft Store. Unfortunately, it is not a touchscreen. Still a good deal for the price, though.

    Fyi, as of this writing, it is gone.

    Back to 1066$ from Xotic or Newegg if you wanna buy (8GB RAM).
