Bringing back some of that 80's flair, MSI is showing off their GX600 gaming laptop at Computex. The black 15-incher is normally clocked at 2.1GHz, but hitting the 386-style Turbo button overclocks the Core 2 Duo to 2.6GHz. Apart from that, it's the usual
Santa Rosa action: 800MHz bus, 802.11n, webcam, 512MB GeForce Go 8600M GT, and HDMI out. The GX600 also has some chintzy flame graphics, but they look positively half-hearted next to the GX700 MSI's also got at Computex: we
saw this 17-incher back in January, but MSI has decided to throw a "feminine" mural on the lid. MSI's been experimenting with strange cases for a while, and we gotta say, it's not working for you, guys. Check the turbo button in action after the break.

its too bad that the black one looks like one of those really stupid button up shirts with flames and dragons. id take the other easily, much nicer.

I'd take the one Engadget calls "feminine". I don't like it a lot, but it's better than that other Hot Wheels inspired piece of s***.

Dig the black laptop. it just needs some skulls and naked women on it.

I like the black one and I have fond memories of my 386 with turbo and its massive on rocker switch. Now we need pricing and will it be in America?

Hi, no need to say that the grey computers will be replaced by the colored ones (with or without prints).
In Europe http://www.cenio.com and in America http://www.colorwarepc.com are selling computers in any color... Brands like MSI can't stay behind. I think the big ones like Dell and HP need to customize their products as well.
A computer without color and print is simply to dull... but hopefully the manufacturers won't forget the specs.

The "feminine one" is, dare I say, attractive. You call it right on the black one Somedude.
