Review MSI GT60-i789W7H Notebook

Edged and crooked. With the GT60, MSI throws a 15,6-inch notebook with current Ivy-Bridge-Processors on the market. The notebook is aimed to score with a fancy design, as well as with other gaming-related features. ...

well workmanship ; up-to-date interface ; illuminated keyboard ; matte full-hd-display ; powerful CPU + GPU ; acceptable heat emissions

massive case ; severely limited maintenance possibilities ; noisy under load

The severe throttling of the graphics card while using the integrated battery - resulting in a clock lower than the one of the integrated GPU

MSI GT60 Gaming laptop review

Gaming laptops and ultrabooks are the latest when it comes to laptop technology these days. Ultrabooks are for people wanting a light portable laptop while gaming laptops are for gamers and people that want a powerhouse. We recieved a sample of MSI's...

FAST ; Full HD ; Dual SSD ; Comfortable ; Decent battery time for the hardware

Heavy ; Price (1500$ @ Newegg)

The biggest con with this laptop is that it cost about 1500$ which is way more than people can afford these days, for that type of money you can get a decent Apple laptop that is thinner and lighter than this one although not with the same hardware. If...

FAST!!!

The version of Windows 8 that is on it is the 64-bit version. New Egg doesn't clearly state this on the item page. Never used the CD disc that came with the unit so I can't comment on whats on it. Would buy again if I had to do it all over again.

Fast! Bought this to replace an Asus G73 laptop that was plagued with problems after two years ownership. I work in field service and am usually stuck in a hotel 1-3 nights a week and wanted something that I could do some gaming while away from my main...

I have had some instances where I've inserted a Blu Ray disc and the disc drive never 'saw' it and Windows will act like nothing is in the drive. Opening and closing the drive solves this ; This doesn't happen every time. Not sure what the issue is

Rock solid high performance machine!

Every once in a while you come across a piece of engineering that makes you stand back and say wow. This is one of those.

This laptop rules. You will not find a better value for a high performance laptop than these MSI rigs. I am a video professional and I use mine as a mobile editing and visual effects workstation when I am travelling on TV shows. It never fails do...

The shiny screen can be annoying
