MSI GE600
This week, MSI announced US availability of its lightweight GE600 gaming notebook. Although the notebook market is certainly a crowded segment, notebooks with discrete graphics processors are usually few and far between. The MSI GE600 sports an ATI Radeon HD5730 GPU, along with an Intel Core i5 CPU, 4GB RAM and a 320 GB HDD that spins at 7200RPM, certainly a rare commodity in a laptop.
The GE600 is available in a 16″ form factor and weighs 5.9 pounds, so it doesn’t sacrifice portability for performance. A nice feature that is included in the GE600 is a full size keyboard, including a full number pad.
The MSI GE600-002US 16″ Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit NoteBook is available at Newegg for $899.
