Check it out here.. Although I don't see an option for i5 with optimus like the rumor was.

EDIT: Actually they do show an i5 available. But it doesn't list optimus anywhere. Who knows maybe it will still have it.

 

I am really looking forward to this model. I almost pulled the trigger on a GT660 when they were announced but I assumed MSI would release a 660 chassis with one of the Nvidia 400 series cards. For me, the 660 chassis with a 460M and a 1366x768 screen is exactly what I am looking for. I'm sure the 1920x1080 screen will appeal to most but I would like to keep the unit relevant a little longer.
Although the GX model with ATI card would definitely get the job done, I am more comfortable with the 460M. I hope MSI can get the GT663 into the hands of the consumer soon.

Anyone know what the benefits for having over a gig of VRAM are?

I am disappointed with the garish design of the chassis. Way too flashy and Asus-like.

 

It's actually very nice in person, I wouldn't call the design garish it's very nice in my opinion.
If looks are holding you back look for clevo laptops they are very understated.
