The 720m is by far the strongest. 630m/635m levels of performance.
This only matters if you are gaming.
If you are not gaming (you need to be clear in your OP) number 3 may bet better. Very powerful CPU and 620m is only ~20% slower than 720m

No im not going to play games such as battlefield 3 at the highest, and IF i play it i will play it at lowest (not actually an battlefield fan)

So you think of these three laptops the one with the nvidia 720m is the best???

Ripoff laptops? I don't know where you got that idea. I have about a two yr old Asus laptop, it has been great. Not sure where the OP is from to recommend anything other than what is posted. I would chose the one with the 720m due to better graphics. Also when on the Intel graphics while on battery, that particular laptop will have better battery life as well. Mine switches to the Intel IGP unless an application is opened that needs the use of my GT 540m. There are option menus to control when the IGP and when the dedicated gpu are used.

The graphics card you listed are over 3 years old fermi parts die shrinked to 28nm 64bit cards. Those cards are not designed for gaming unless you play low res low settings and even then you will get massive fps dips in games as the bandwidth is so slow on them cards. I personally wouldn't get 3 year old technology as in fermi 64bit cards. I think a gt 640m or 650m is minimum and these cards are like 2-3x better in games while taking similar electricity.

Well, im sorry to say, but these are my only options since i cant put a new graphic card in the laptop... So im going to buy either the one with the 720m or intel hd 4000...

logainofhades Voted for the one with 720m, which one do you say?

i dont know where he get "rip off" laptops from, i also have an reaaaallly crappy Asus for about 2 years now, and its still working fine, even though it sucks.
So you are telling me to get the one with 720m???

You should have got the previous amazon link even if it is lenovo. Look on ebay or dell outlet. bargainwarehouse2013 or freddiegeorge66 have great laptops for cheap prices usually. How much are those laptops as I wouldn't even pay £300 for any of them on your list. You could laptops with 2-4x better graphics for around £400.

hafujir there is ALWAYS cheaper laptops somewhere, it depends where you live and where you can buy it.
I have no other choice to buy only between these laptops.... why? Because these laptops, where i live (Sweden), is a great deal and i cant order, let say the lenovo from UK and wait for it to arrive, i need to buy an laptop in 2-3 days top. So unless they make the other laptops cheaper or replace them for othe laptops with other specs where i live, im stuck to buy one of them for now.

Well I just did a test and 5 i5 3210m is just about enough for the 650m in games. There must be more options then those 3 and what are your prices for the ones listed. I just don't want to see you getting ripped off.

Well if i convert the currency it will be about $850

Can you tell me what country you live and I will try to find any online shops there and see if I can get a better deal. Those graphics cards you listed are best avoided for games.

I already wrote it, but oh well, i live in sweden

hey, which laptop have you bought at last? i also live in Sweden and i am planing to buy the 3rd one from fujitsu you mentioned.. it's 5000 sek would be a good deal i think. but the only concern for me is if this laptop supports two hard drives... i am thinking to replace the the HDD with SSD and throw out the DVD drive for putting the HDD in that place. is this possible with this laptop?

I have an alienware 17x gaming laptop and there is nothing that can come anywhere close. You can look on e-bay and other sites to get a pretty good deal. My laptop was originally 3700.00 and I bought it for 1000.00 on e-bay. Do not be fooled by any other laptops. This laptop you can up grade any part of this laptop even the cpu with simply taking off the bottom cover to expose any component. I've had Dell laptops for at least 10 years with no operational problems. You will not be disappointed..

USA all the way

I bought this laptop at the end:
Asus X550CC
- Intel® Core™ i5-3337U
- 6 GB DDR3 RAM
- 750 GB HDD
- Nvidia Geforce GT 720M

And to be honest, first i hated it, well mainly because i was used to my old laptop. But now i love it!
Its fast and very good, and so far i have been playing games such as Call of duty MW3, Bioshock Infinite etc.
Also it does not heat up or gets warm like other HP laptops. Bottom line i'm pretty happy with the purchase
