Higher end GPU and touch. US does not seem to have the GTX 630 Z580

The link I sent was supposed to have a GTX 750M... this website is misleading

Its listed as having a 740m on the link leading to it. HD4000 in the specs. Well thats bull
Looking at a Dell Inspiron 14z with an HD7570M. Resulting price is 831 USD. Opinions?
Dell kind of pissed me off by forcing a couple of 60USD software products on me... Like a 15 month mcAfee subscription that Im just going to format off the thing and install kaspersky to. But its still a fair price with the student discount. Along with the 738 resolution... Id like opinions.
Was considering a Lenovo Y500 with 650m SLI. Amazing price for what it is, but 3 hour battery life is dreadful.

Found it (theres a "next" button hiding it)
1k GT740M
lower-ish resolution on laptops are better IMO because you can crank graphics settings up without worrying too much.. makes it easier on the GPU
I know nothing of dell.

Still a bit crummy. I was hoping for a 900 resolution. Ill look up comparisons between the 740 and 7570, but I honestly dont think that the lenovo is practical at 1000 USD. My parents are covering 500 of the laptop, and seeing as Im only working for the summer, Id like to keep the cost down. The small power increase I may or may not get is likely not worth the extra 200, and that dell is probably the best laptop Ive seen for around 800. Ill keep looking however.
Edit: Well, I ordered the 14z. Would have preferred a touchscreen (I hate touchpads), but I wasnt going to pay an additional 600 USD for a touchscreen and worse hardware. Thankfully they included "Shipping Package - brown" with the order. I personally wanted purple, but they didnt give any options other than hardware options.
