The lack of a Blu-ray drive differentiates it from the top-of-the-line model, but it is the only model in the series to feature discrete graphics, the entry-level ATI Radeon HD 5470 with 512MB of dedicated memory, making the NV59C57u an option for casual gamers. It is also equipped with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hard drive. Other features are shared across the NV59C Series, including an HDMI output and "social networks button", which simplifies access to Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube.
