It has a decent Nvidia 540M and it is equipped with Optimus technology which means it can switch to the IGP in the i5 CPU to provide graphics when you are not using intensive 3D on the dedicated graphics card, therefore you will get up to double the battery life as compared to a similar laptop that can only run off the dedicated graphics.
Awesome, thanks for the help.
I spent about 2 hours on newegg this morning, and that's actually the model I had in mind. Having someone who's a little more knowledgeable recommend it makes my decision a little easier.
The Nvidia 540M seems to get pretty good reviews from everything I've read.
