These dynamic duo are more of the same. The only difference between the two is their screen size since the GT70 flaunts a 17-inch display while the GT60 has the 15-inch screen. On any other feature, they are identical. Both gaming laptops sport the rainbow-effect “SteelSeries” keyboard. Since gaming is so demanding, the G-series laptops come with support for two (2) solid state drives (SSD) in a RAID 0 configuration which come in very handy for the HD present on the device. RAM can also be beefed up as the laptops can support up to 32GB of it.

Colossal in their own right in gaming, these laptops also have three (3) USB 3.0 ports and two (2) USB 2.0 ports (GT60 however comes with only one USB 2.0 port). Moreover, both gaming rigs come with an SDHC card slot and audio connectivity (presence of audio in, microphone out, headphones port). Both also have optical drives.

The MSI GT60 would retail for about $2,630 or €1,999 while the GT70 sells for $3,025 or €2,299. Release is slated to be by April.

This phantom rig (as of press time) is touted to carry a rocket under that equally hefty body. Pegged at 3.85 kilograms, portability is not its strong suit but what it lacks in terms of convenience it more than makes up for it in performance. This is essentially the MSI GT780GX only turbocharged by more than 10 times from its original specs. What does this mean? It means these specs:

• Core i7 Extreme Edition 2920XM main processor
• 16 GB DDR3 Memory
• GeForce GTX570M (3GB DDR5 GPU)
• Space for 2 HDD each with 750 GB Storage Capacity
• THX Sound
• 17.3” 1600 x 900 display (can be boosted up to 1920 x 1080)

DDR3 Mem, DDR5 GPU and a processor that can be cranked up to 4.1GHz in Turbo Mode? The insides of this laptop must be literally blazing hot you might say but thanks to a “Cooler Boost” heat sink, this monster is as cool physically as it is theoretically. To round it up, they threw in a Steelseries gaming keyboard and a decent 9-cell battery.

Don’t blink; when this rig will finally be released (release date and price pending), it might just blow past you by in a split second. That’s how highly anticipated this machine is.
