MSI GT725-212US

By (cnet.com)

Great gaming performance for the price ; size and weight much lighter than comparable gaming laptops

Built-in Turbo overclocking had no real impact on gameplay ; Dolby 4.1 speakers a little underwhelming

For a price below that of ultra hard-core machines, the MSI GT725-212us provides considerable gaming power, a 1080p 17-inch screen, and Blu-ray in a package that's relatively portable.

MSI's GT725-212us, the model at the top of the company's notebook gaming line...

MSI GT725 (212US) - A Review of the MSI GT725 (212US)

By Jeffrey L. Wilson (laptopmag.com)

Quad-core processor, Fast hard drive, Blu-ray drive, Full HD display

Flawed keyboard, Dated design, Mushy mouse buttons

Four speakers (and a subwoofer) churned out clear sound with a nice amount of bass bounce when we played The JBs' "Giving Up Food For Funk," but we would've liked more volume. The speakers were loud enough to fill a small room, but lacked punch when ...

MSI GT725

By Rory Reid (cnet.co.uk)

If you can overlook its hideous appearance, the 17-inch GT725 is a relatively affordable and extremely capable gaming laptop. With a good screen and Blu-ray drive, it's also a sound choice for people whose priority is media-playback capability. ...

Fast graphics ; powerful quad-core CPU ; Blu-ray drive ; HDMI out

Hideous colour scheme

The MSI GT725's turbo overclocking feature is gimmicky, and the machine is -- on the whole -- hideously ugly. But it's also very fast and well-equipped. Buy it if you're not concerned with looks

Well, the MSI GT725 is its faster, more intimidating relative. In the centre...

Runs games like a champ, doesn't let the Vista monster bog it down

The keyboard layout was a slight annoyance, mainly because the left ctrl key placement. Speakers don't put out alot of volume during movie's

Best Budget Gaming Laptop on the Market

By TheSpiderJoe (newegg.com)

The very first thing I did when I got it was boot it up and run the standard set up. Once that was done I created a restore disk (in case I ever wanted to return to these factory settings again) and then reformatted using Vista Home Premium 64bit. The pro...

This thing is amazing. With ATI Radeon 4850 DDR3 graphics and a stellar processor you can't lose. This thing was designed with the core gamer in mind. It may not beat those $3k+ machines out there but it's not supposed to. It can run any game out there an...

I've got a couple complaints but nothing that would knock this thing down an egg

Good buy

By Lucita (newegg.com)

Nice laptop to serve as a 2nd computer or even a primary if you only have an older desktop. Works nice and aside from the minor Cons mentioned above it's a rather nice product. Even most of the Cons can be fixed later if MSI wises up and offers 64bit lice...

Nice glossy screen and speakers that produce good sound for a laptop. Nice finish on the case and seems to dissipate heat very well without much noise. Great performance for its price

Vista 32bit makes no sense. Why include 4GB of ram and then handicap it with a 32bit OS. No offer of a WinXP "downgrade" and no support on official site for XP drivers

Manufacturer's Description

The GX725 has applied the aerodynamic touch sensor design, using a simple black mirror plate as base and red linings to accentuate the slickness of the faceplate. There are no added accessories, and under the icy colors evolve a sense of elegance and professionalism. It creates a sharp contrast to the red outer body, adding even more individualism to the GX725. All you have to do is to touch gently on the touch sensor to start any applications while operating, just as simple as that. The 17 "...
