New Laptop for Gamers from MSI


The new GX700 Extreme Edition is expected to be a revolution in the field of gaming laptops. As LAN gaming events become more popular every day, this is also a great opportunity for the gamers to show off their hardware equipment. The Taiwanian producer MSI took this into consideration too when he decided to produce and launch the
GX700.

When you see the coloured arrow keys printed on the WASD key, the typical first person shooters' most used keys, you can deny no more the fact that this laptop is definitely a potential attraction for big gamers. With a unique aesthetic design, GX700 is something to keep your eyes on for more than just a few seconds. A tattoo-like flame motif designed on a laptop is not something you see every day.

GX700 has also an independent numeric keypad and it still weights only 3.4 kg with the battery in place. And it has plenty of power to offer. With a 2.2GHZ Core 2 T7500 processor, a 250GB hard drive and a 17-inch widescreen TFT, GX 700 should be any gamer's dream. Not to mention the 512MB GeForce 8600 GT graphics card with HDMI output or the 2GB of DDR2 RAM.

Some say the 8600 graphics card is not exactly a great choice, as it has proven to be not particularly quick in tests, especially when it comes to high resolutions. But anyway the chip should be able to play DirectX 9 games at reasonable configuration.

The proposed UK price of 1099 should be a good backup in case the optimistic opinions stated by MSI representatives on the GX 700 prove to be wrong. They have claimed that the GX 700 "will forever change the stereotyped perceptions of notebook". So far, for the UK price of 1099, GX 700 looks like quite a good deal.
