MSI GX660: Next Level Gaming Laptop
If you’re serious about gaming and need a laptop with the power of a desktop, MSI’s GX660 is the answer…
SORRY, CONSOLE FANS, but for outright gaming power, you can’t beat a PC packed with the latest, most powerful processor and
graphics card. Few of us have space for a massive desktop PC and monitor, though, and laptops usually lack the power to run games at warp speed in hi-def. Not so with MSI’s new gaming rig, the GX660 – it offers the best of both worlds: desktop power, laptop convenience.
The GX660 is MSI’s flagship gaming notebook. It comes with an Intel Core i7 Mobile processor, discrete ATI Radeon HD5870 graphics card, and can be loaded with up to 12GB of memory for super-smooth gaming. Uniquely, it’s equipped with a bespoke premium sound system by Dynaudio, the same experts who designed the in-car hi-fi used in the bugatti Veyron.
To maximize the sound stage, the GX660 uses twin, high-spec drivers positioned to the sides of the chassis, in front of the 16-inch hi-def display. Like the built-in subwoofer, they’re mounted in custom housings as part of a fully integrated audio system. With Dynaudio digital sound processing created especially for the GX660, the result is sonic reproduction, previously unheard of in a laptop.
For those extreme gaming moments when even quad-core multi-tasking isn’t quite enough, the GX660 also offers on-the-fly processor overclocking, courtesy of MSi’s exclusive TurboDrive Engine tech. Combined with the ATI Radeon HD5870, one of the world’s fastest graphics cards and packing a huge 1 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory, the result is the most immersive portable gaming experience available.
The GX660 is also a multimedia powerhouse: there’s an integrated Blu-ray drive and DVD re-writer, and a hi-def webcam, and all that power means everyday tasks such as music and video encoding are a breeze. Plus the dual hard disks can be specced with more than 1TB of storage, so there’s plenty of space for your music and videos. Alternatively, if outright speed is your priority, you can opt for ultra-fast SSD or RAID drives.
The GX660 was developed with the help of Fnatic, the world-beating, MSI-sponsored pro gaming team, and delivers performance equal to many high-end desktop PCs. Yet it does so in a compact package less than 35mm thick and weighing just 3.5kg. It’s like a neutron star of condensed gaming power.
