Shocking News: It has ELAN touchpad not Synaptics..........
Good News: Its working fine even after turning touchpad on/off (even after connecting external mouse)

Where can i see my manufacture date ? I saw it somewhere but I don't know where

Really? Means it contains a couple of GT650m inside?

No, one, I think you can add one via ultrabay but that's nothing but a pipe dream, so one 650m, faster than almost every gaming GPU that comes with a laptop in India.
