If the price included 1080p screen, this would be a HOT deal, nonetheless, nice specs for the price.

You can update the HDD to a 7200RPM for $20 more which gets a 35% discount making it only $13 extra ;)

I would, but I'm holding out 2 weeks for the Ivy/Kepler combo.
No doubt it will cost more but the Kepler Performance per watt boost will be very useful in laptops.

I have an older dv7-2170us but I can speak to this.
Option 1) Clone the current HDD to SSD using a program specifically designed for SSDs
Option 2) Replace HDD with SSD and use restore CDs

You mean the 7470m right? To be fair, BF3 is a horribly unoptimized game and shouldn't be used as some sort of test for a GPU's capabilities.

Both that and the $25 upgrade (doesn't look like the discount applied to the vid upgrade) to the 1GB AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7690M GDDR5 would be well worth the small extra cost.
