Praised by global top media
Type : Product News Latest Update : Fri, 04 May 2012

After being recognized with the Innovations Honorees award at CES 2012 for its considerable innovative R&D capabilities in the design and manufacture of its G Series gaming notebook, MSI was recently praised by global top media Engadget. MSI pointed out the MSI GT70 for its awesome power and snazzy looks. In addition to featuring impressive processor and display performance, this mean machine sports true-to-life screen resolution and handles the latest 3D games effortlessly. It boasts a complete array of I/O ports, connections for peripherals, and high expandability.


Global top media Engadget pointed out "the MSI GT70 gaming laptop, one of the first gaming beasts out of the door with Intel's next generation architecture. Living up to its next-gen CES promises, this 17.3-inch behemoth falls squarely in the desktop replacement category, at 8.6 pounds, and packs a new 2.3GHz Core i7-3610QM processor, NVIDIA's latest GeForce GTX 670M chip with 3GB of video memory…." 


Engadget pointed out, "crowning the notebook is a dark brushed aluminum lid, framed by a matte black band. Its hinge sits above a pair of stereo speakers and a fairly standard-looking control bar. Amid the display, power and WiFi toggles that normally crowd the keyboard deck, there's also a special turbo button that promises "one-touch overclocking," along with a "cooler boost" toggle that makes the unit's fan spin faster.

"They said "the machine's (GT70) typewriter boasts a "keyboard by SteelSeries" badge, and it lives up to the brand name. Each press is met with a satisfying mechanical click. The simple black keys are accented by a programmable multicolored LED backlight, which bleeds out from behind each keycap, dimly illuminating the translucent lettering on each of the keys."
 


Engadget keep pointing out, "The GT70's Dynaudio sound system is somewhat of a standard for MSI rigs, and for good reason. Loud and clear is the classic, apt description for the capable 2.1 speaker setup. The speakers have enough oomph to easily fill a room without distortion. Game audio and music flow richly from the stereo drivers and the orphaned subwoofer on the machine's underbelly, showcasing a clear left-right differential…."

Engadget mentioned "MSI GT70's "turbo" toggle on the laptop's touch sensitive control bar -- this activates the MSI Turbo Drive Engine, a one-touch VGA overclock tool that's supposed to sharpen the rig's already fine edge. With the overclock engaged, PCMark rated the GT70 at 14,225; 3DMark06 pegged it at 19,213, jumping its scores by 200 on both accounts -- give or take 20 points…."
 


Engadget praised "the GT70 wraps itself around the latest technologies; its build impressed us most. The keyboard, trackpad, chassis and speakers all bleed quality, sidestepping so many of the common sins that PC makers commit. This finely crafted icing make its screaming performance that much sweeter."

MSI Notebook points out that MSI's GT70 is the top battle laptops on the planet today and are the top choice of top players around the world (Top player, top choice!). Not only do they feature the epoch-marking processor using 22nm production technology and discrete graphics cards, they also come with unparalleled peripherals, such as professional Steelseries keyboards, industry-leading professional grade Killer Gaming Networking, the world's fastest read-write Super RAID Dual SSD, and up to 32G of memory, to meet the needs of serious gamers the world over.
