MSI gaming laptops feature GTX 570M GPUs

Wednesday MSI launched two new models in its G Series of gaming laptops which feature Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 570M GPUs: the GT780DXR and the GT683DXR. According to the company, the new units are designed for “the serious gamer seeking unmatched power with an unprecedented immersive experience,” packed with loads of memory, loads of storage, Intel Core i7 processors and an optional Blu-ray optical drive. That said, be prepared to pay a “serious” price.

“MSI G Series notebooks have the power to max out game settings, and do it on the go," said Rene Haas, General Manager of Notebook Products at NVIDIA.  “As the first company to offer GeForce GTX 570M GPUs, MSI is arming the G Series notebooks with killer gaming performance and advanced gaming technologies like NVIDIA PhysX and DirectX 11.”

The GT780DXR is MSI's flagship gaming laptop sporting a brushed aluminum chassis, a 17.3-inch Full HD Non Reflection display (1920 x 1080) and a SteelSeries programmable backlit keyboard. Additional hardware specs include Intel's Core i7-2630QM CPU (2.0x2.9 GHz, 6 MB of cache), Nvidia's GeForce GTX 570M GPU (1.5 GB of DDR5 VRAM), 12 GB of DDR3 memory and 1 TB of HDD storage (Raid 0 or no redundancy, 500 GB x 2 @ 7200RPM), but the unit can be bumped up to 1.5 TB of storage (750 GB x2), 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a Blu-ray optical drive.

Other features include two USB 3.0 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 1.4 output, a built-in 720p webcam, a 7-in-1 card reader

(SD/SDHC/SDXC/XD/MSPRO/MS/MM), Bluetooth, 10x100x1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11 b/g/n wireless connectivity.

As for MSI's new GT683DXR, this laptop is similar to the GT780DXR in hardware specs, but offers a smaller 15.6-inch Full HD Glossy display, only two USB 2.0 ports (instead of three), and a 103-key Chiclet keyboard. It also sports a different chassis, with a cool red illumination emanating from the back and sides of the lid, and around the front of the base. Both models come packed with Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, MSI's Turbo Drive Engine technology, MSI Cooler Boost technology, and Dynaudio speakers with support for THX Surround Sound.

“To provide gamers with a more complete portable gaming package, MSI and Newegg have teamed up to offer a free SteelSeries Kinzu gaming mouse with the purchase of any GT780DXR-099US and GT683DXR-427US notebook throughout September,” the company said. “Engineered for the serious gamer, the ambidextrous Kinzu provides a scalable pointer speed of up to 3200 Counts Per Inch (CPI), is compatible with all types of gaming surfaces and has gaming grade correlation optical sensor for incomparable stability and reliability.

Naturally these two notebooks don't come cheap: the 15.6-inch GT683DXR starts at $1,699.99 whereas the beefier 17.3-inch GT780DXR starts at $1,999.99 USD (four models total). So far both notebooks are listed as “out of stock.”

ASUS G74SX-A1 gaming laptop gets rated, loves a bit of Battleship

The 1982 Lockheed Sea Shadow may be rusting away in Suisun Bay, but its Commie-spooking contours haven't been forgotten. They apparently inspired the design of the Asus G74SX-A1, which just won a HotHardware recommendation for its cheese-eschewing looks as well as its performance, efficient cooling and realistic $1749 price tag.

For once, the Core i7-2360QM CPU coupled with a GeForce GTX 560M and generous 12GB dollop of DDR-1333 RAM actually conspired to surpass the manufacturer's 3DMark benchmark claims. It wasn't flawless though: overall computing performance was middling compared to rivals; the speakers were shoddy when it came to producing music rather than explosions; and the 17.3-inch Full HD display was slightly wasted on some games that only ran smoothly with high quality settings at 1280×720. Still, all this naval talk makes us fancy some Silent Hunter 4 — and that should play just fine. Check out source link lurking below for the full review.

MSI X370-206US – First AMD E-450-Powered Laptop in US

Today we've spotted the first laptop in the US with the AMD E-450 processor – the thin-and-light 13.3″ MSI X370-206US.

Another noticeable thing on the E-450 is DDR3 1600MHz support, but it's not likely that MSI uses high-performance 1600MHz memory modules in a notebook which belongs to the ultra-thin category.

Now, back to the laptop itself. Available details are thin, but we do know the MSI X370-206US features a 1366×768 glossy screen, 4GB RAM, and a 500GB 7,200rpm hard drive. It appears to have the same design as the previous X370 series. This particular model comes in white color, but we have learned that there will be a black model with X370-206US SKU and the same specifications.

The X370-206US is priced at $579.99 (Amazon).
