MSI GT627 - Review of the MSI GT627
Bright, colorful display, Great gaming performance for the price, Good 2-MP webcam
Cramped and poorly designed keyboard, Touchpad too close to keyboard, Low-res display for gaming
We used the 2-megapixel camera for video chatting in Google Talk; callers noted that the extra 0.7 MP was a vast improvement over the typical 1.3-MP webcams in most computers. They noted that images were very smooth and clear, and you can adjust the ...

MSI GT627-218US
With their outrageous designs and big, high-resolution screens, twin graphics cards and quad-core processors, hard-core gaming laptops like the Alienware M17 and the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 are meant to dazzle customers. The MSI GT627-218US takes a ...
Excellent Nvidia graphics card. Perfect for cash-strapped gamers. Plenty of specialty ports, including HDMI, TV tuner, and eSATA. 4GB of memory. Good processor
Flimsy keyboard
The MSI GT627-218US is a perfect gaming solution for cash-strapped gamers on the move, because the powerful Nvidia graphics card delivers smooth frames at a budget price.
The MSI GT627-218US takes a more subdued approach, homing in on two areas...

Unique Turbo mode for gaming performance handsome brushed aluminum body
Keyboard feels cramped and cheap Low resolution screen

Great Bang for Buck
This would be a perfect machine if not for the flexing keyboard and strange layout. That said, I am extremely happy with it so far. It is much faster than I had thought and it is constantly surprising me at how fast the graphics are (Turbo ROCKS) while ma...
Very clear screen, decent size (more portable then a 17"). Fast Processor, fast graphics, 4GB of RAM, does not get insanely hot while gaming (still a cooler would be useful if being used as a full time gaming machine). Over clocks via "turbo" button out o...
Keyboard layout is strange. Others have mentioned the poorly placed "function" button. While this is annoying you get used to it quick. Keyboard "flexes" despite where you type. Worries me about longevity. Screen has more narrow viewing angel from other l...
From a Gamers prospective - Great!
As a gamer and an IT this a great laptop for the price point. They keyboard is fairly springy but i seem to have adjusted to it fine in about an hour. If you dont like it use a alternate Keyboard. Games like World of Warcraft, left 4 dead, and Call of Dut...
Computer runs fast from the boot up to shut down
Keyboard is springy
pretty good
I dont really see why people make a deal out of the keyboard flex, I have to be looking for it to notice it and be applying considerable pressure. I suppose the low screen resolution could be a con, but nothing very bad in my opinion. I wish they would've...
the specs are very nice for the price, plus the turbo option makes the cpu that much better. has a numpad, plus some nice touch sensitive buttons. 2.0 mp camera, bluetooth
the function key [Fn] is switched with the ctrl key. not a huge thing, but it annoys me a lot while trying to play games. Because it has a numpad, things are kind of scrunched, such as the backspace and left shift. But i'm sure I'll get use to those. cons...
Manufacturer's Description
With MSI exclusive Turbo Drive Engine technology, while the GT627 is in AC mode, just by touching the turbo button above the keyboard, you can simultaneously increase the speed of your CPU, also the computer may run smoother and to the best of its abilities. The GT627 has selected aluminum as the base for the exterior, and adding the metallic threads for design on the cover, giving it an outstanding sense of fashion. The GT627 is a must-have accessory for the modern stylish games obsessed...
