The graphics card of choice is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD4670 with 512 MB of RAM.

Predictably, the unit has 4 GB's of system RAM.

As for optical drives, the HDD will be up to 500 GB; and the high resolution support of GX733's monitor doesn't go to waste - this unit can be bought with an Blu-ray drive.
