MSI GX60 Review

 

The MSI GX60 is a 15.6-inch gaming notebook loaded with an AMD processor and Radeon HD 7970M graphics. Is this the best bargain for a gaming rig at a retail price of $1,200?

Non-glare 1080p display ; Powerful graphics with Eyefinity support ; Fast, high-capacity storage (SSD + HDD)

Mushy keyboard ; No keyboard backlight (on this configuration) ; Processor might be a bottleneck for some games

Review MSI GX60 Notebook

 

A bold hardware mix. How much power does the Radeon HD 7970M still have when the high-end graphics is combined with a weak processor? MSI installs AMD's low-cost A10-4600M quad-core in its GX60 to achieve the lowest price possible. Our benchmarks...

Casing's cool surfaces, Very potent graphics card, Matte, Full HD screen, Blu-ray drive, Many interfaces, Strong battery, Great sound, Fair price, Above all, the good picture and sound quality

Unusual keyboard layout, Very flashy design, Weak processor, Sensitive lid, Bulky chassis, A plain design and matte casing surfaces

MSI GX60 review: pixel pumping is its priority

 

Is there such thing as enough CPU power? MSI seems to think so with the release of the MSI GX60 gaming notebook. That's because, intriguingly, the MSI GX60

MSI GX60 review

 

MSI's new gaming portable makes pixel pumping the priority

Games look awesome ; Good battery life ; Excellent sound quality ; Aggressively priced

A10 processor isn't good enough ; Radeon HD 7970M graphics held back ; Disappointing SSD RAID array ; Thick chassis ; Gets hot under load

An interesting mix of components, but ultimately the AMD 10 CPU doesn't quite deliver.

Not Pleased!!

 

I mainly play WOW and it is a CPU intesive game. I figured no way this brand new laptop with a 290x and 3.5 ghz quad core would have trouble with it. It plays fine in some areas at 100 FPS, as soon as u get into a city or raid it drops to 20 to 40. My...

Nice Keyboard ; All AMD ; Nice screen ; R290x mobile

Way underpowered CPU for gaming ; My 2 year old I7 asus lappy destroys this thing ; AMD dropped the ball on CPU

Great laptop with some customization needed.
