HD7670M is best among the three

Check this laptop, but it doesn't have DVD drive, but GPU more powerful than 7670M

This one has same GPU, with DVD drive but no OS

^go for 2314 it'll suffice for normal gaming and surfing needs of yours - suggested only because it'll be relatively more future proof with respect to gaming than lone 7670m one . Samsung doesn't have any warranty problems AFAIK and the lappy with 8750m is a complete VFM if you don't wanna deal with assymetric cross fire annoyances.

Oops my bad thought twas 8750m
But there is NO issue with 8750m - the problem that guy faced was because he didn't knew how to configure/install proper drivers and i believe its more or less solved now

Whats the problem with this one ?? i3 + better GPU than others + DVD drive but no OS(u can install one)
If u don't need DVD drive better consider the one above that

2nd one has no USB 3

1st one is too slim for gaming..

What the hell...... How did Samsung miss USB 3.0 port ??

Get first one then, there should not be heating issues as the processor is just i3. Samsung NP550P5C S05IN also has slim profile. It heats upto 80C easily while gaming. So I think i3+ 8750M shouldn't heat up as much as i7+GT650M

Nope it ain't like that..
No matter which proccy or GFX you have all boils down to cooling efficiency.. ( for ex. rMBP 15" has i7+GT640m but even @ peak loads temps are like 60 C)

Core I7 IVB , at peak load , with max temp under 60C ??? Source plz ??

No , that temperature is not possible easily under heavy loads like heavy gaming.
Try running Crysis or any CPU taxing game , and then you'll know how bad the IVB CPU can be in terms of heat.

Maintaining 60C under heavy load for Quad-Core IVB mobile while gaming is too much for a non-gaming laptop.

You can't say.. It's apple.. :p

I don't have it.. I just saw that review.. BTW does it matter??
even if you gain 70C ain't it almost 20C cooler than average lappy??

Point is that a Quad-Core IVB will heat for sure specially while gaming, unless throttled or super-cooled( 80's for either core is definitely possible and okay followed by throttling ).
And for reference previous Macbooks had horrible cooling. rMBP is having better thermal-maintenance mechanism but still it's a laptop profile. It has it's limits.

Heating & high prices are the two problems intel couldn't cope with for last 2 gens.. :p

Die-shrink caused heat-up issue in IVB. Sandy Bridges used to run slightly cooler.

Yeah problem has severed even more in HSwel.. Tri gate transistors couldn't prove themselves in this test.

sandy bridges also heated up a lot. My quad core used to reach 95 C with turbo boost on while playing crysis 2. And tj max is just ahead at 100 C.
I feel ivy are not so hot .. my dual core reaches 80 C while playing skyrim and turbo on and tj max is way ahead at 105 C

Some Desktop IVBs heated up a lot when voltage was increased , compared to SB because intel used TIM b/w sink and die.
Although , mobile IVB weren't affected by this but still since they are having more no. of transistors they'll run a li'l bit hotter

My laptop usually heats upto 80C CPU & 78C GPU. Max till now is 85C CPU & 80C GPU when room temp was 45C
