Thinking of returning my laptop. Should I swap it for this?

This one from BestBuy is a gaming monster (because it has a Radeon 7970M GPU) and is rufly in your price-range:

How much of a improvement would that show compared to what I currently have?

If I am running Skyrim on Ultra @ 30-35fps and 35-40fps on high, what could I expect from this laptop?

 

Edit - Is this similar to PS4 specs?

Yes, it's very similar to the PS4, not just purely spec-wise but also in that the components are balanced with the exact same mentality - combine a comparatively weak CPU (but who is still able to do his job in 95% of all gaming scenarios) with a strong as possible GPU for an overall best bang for your buck for gaming.

In general, that GPU (Radeon 7970M) will run games with 100% higher FPS than the Geforce GT650M, but since Skyrim is also very CPU bound, I wouldn't expect a crazy increase in performance, but probably at least a 20-30% increase in FPS.
