MSI have not forgotten about us whose pockets are not bottomless.
This is their entry level Notebook.
BUT it comes with a Geforce 820M, the predecessor came with a Geforce 740M (MSI CX61 2OD)
Now the 820M = 720M = 610M and many other low end GPUs
So buyer beware, the 820M is not all that much faster than an Intel HD 4600 (Core i7)
The 740M should be faster but also no record breaker.
