  HD 7670M should be an OK GPU for gaming. I can't find it on Tom's hierarchy charts, but I have a 5670 in my desktop (these days considered "entry-level", or less) and can play any game (though I have to lower the detail settings to get smooth gameplay in some).

    Im using a 7470m with 1gb GDDR5 on my laptop. It's considered entry level gpu. Honestly i get decent graphics for the games I play, but I do have to play with settings on like low shadow and stuff. But then again I hardly play games. So far its Sim City, CS:GO, Starcraft 2.

    Notebookcheck has a rating for the 7670M gpu at:
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7670M.69483.0.htm…

    They show it as much better than the 7470m.

      Great link iamjohngalt.

      Down the bottom are benchmarks for multiple games that should give an idea.

    (If you don't mind the lower res, the i5 1366x768 one for $699 mentioned above would have about the same gaming performance - The GPU is definitely the bottleneck here. In fact, a bit faster if not using an external screen, since the res is lower)

      Or if you don't mind an HP laptop, MSY has the Pavillion M6-1010TX for $649 with i5 3210M and Radeon HD 7670M with 2GB memory.

        I only have one HP laptop, a very cheap one, but I'd consider it a big step down in quality from my Dells, FWIW.

  Looks pretty damn good to me for those wanting FHD resolution.

  just for comparison,
  it's a 17" though…
  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Inspiron-17-17R-Laptop-Intel-i7…

  comparable spec but a bit cheaper US$ 669.99 + US$87.20 shipping = US$ 757.19 delivered.
