    Wait..what...specs?  17" is not the same as 15".  17"  is the best laptop there is.

    AMD Radeon R9 M295X with 4GB of GDDR5 memory is not a laptop GPU.

     

    If you order the SSD 1TB then that eliminates the laptop grade HDD.

     

    That's what I'm getting.

    Radeon R9 M295X 4GB is an upcoming high-end mobile Graphics Card, based on the second revision of the GCN architecture. 

    It offers a GPU codenamed "Tonga" which is at essence an upgraded Tahiti XTX GPU (used on Radeon HD 7970 GE) and features 2048 Shader Processing Units, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs, on a 256-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. 

    The clock frequencies are not known yet. 

    Expect a rated board TDP that should clearly surpass the 100W barrier and performance around the levels of a Radeon HD 7950. 

    There are no benchmarks yet but we predict Radeon R9 M295X 4GB has potential to be slightly faster than the world's most powerful mobile Graphics Card as of June 2014 - GeForce GTX 880M.
