Computex 2011: MSI Unleashes Three Gaming Notebooks

This year’s Computex event is certainly bringing out some good stuff for gamers. Not only are there powerful motherboards being unveiled, there are graphics cards also coming from both AMD and NVIDIA. Now MSI has brought their range of gaming notebooks at the event with some really nice specifications to boast of.

More for the Gamer

The GT780 has got the title of being the world’s fastest notebook by breaking a score of 20,000 on the PCMark Vantage benchmark. Apart from the GT780, MSI also showed the GT683 and GE620 gaming notebooks. All of them wield Intel’s Core i7 quad core processors and up to 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. The laptops have NVIDIA’s graphic cards on board, and also boast of improved audio content by Dynaudio and THX TruStudio Pro.

Leaving the specifications aside, the GT780 is said to be the first notebook to have a gamer-specific keyboard design – which has been made in collaboration with SteelSeries, with frequently used keys relocated so that other less used keys don’t get hit accidentally. These keys are red in colour and their size has also been increased to make them more prominent.

Stay tuned for more information of the pricing and launch dates of these gaming notebooks.
