The 4670 has a lot more grunt than a 9600m. I have owned both (msi gx720 & sxps 16)
The sxps is a great laptop with one problem...HEAT!
Build quality is great
Performance is top notch
Looks good
but damn does it run hot. This is mostly due to the poor thermal design.
I put AS5 on the cpu and gpu, undervolted the cpu and raised the back of the laptop up and it still runs hot.
The touchpad is almost unusable and the palm rests are scorchio when gaming. You could also fry eggs on the underside. I havent tried a notebook cooler on it but then I dont see why you should need one on a main stream laptop.
If this is used purely as a desktop replacement then I think you can overlook the heat but dont expect to use it on your lap without cooler or laptray
The ssd is pointless as the cooling fans will make enough noise anyway
Just ordered mine - went for the i7, SSD, white 1080p RGBLED, but decided against the Bluray drive. ETA is about 2 weeks or so . Came out about £1100 after discount and quidco.

Jealous! If I was spending that much, I'd have got the BluRay though. I'd love to see the RGBLED, even the WLED is staggeringly good.
Would be surprised if you get it in 2 weeks though, mine took 3 or 4
jamief, how did you manage that price? I thought the base 1645 with i7 was nearly 1100!!!
iaind, were you using a cooler? did you not find the palmrest and touchpad got really hot? (I may just have a lemon but mine gets scorchio and without cooler and underclocking it throttles whilst gaming)
That is a pretty good price, but it only comes with 1 year Hardware support.
I'd be wary of ending up with a £1k bookend after a year if it goes bang.
Can anyone reassure me otherwise?
