The main selling point of this GX600 is the Trouble Button.

What it does is that when the machine is connected to AC Power, and you hit that button, it will overclock your machine for around 20%.

When it is on Battery Power, that button will switch to Power Saving mode.

Not sure if any one here reads Chinese,
but here's a good introduction of the laptop in a Chinese Computer Discussion Forum

I guess you could use Google Translation to get an idea.

@ John Stracke

"Anions" sounds like the negatively charged atoms that you learned the first day as a frosh. They're supposed to rid your body of free radicals, which require extra electrons to complete pairing. No (and I stress this point) recognized studies have found anti-oxidants useful in reducing the number of free radicals. None at all. That's why the FDA back any products marketing anti-oxidants as cancer-reducing agents, but only approves their sale.

@ Jimbo

They get a high concentration of anions by having a low concentration of cations. What led you to believe the two must be in equilibrium?

(1) Take negatively charged materials that are excellent insulators so they don't lose charge. (2) Don't let them lose charge. (3) ??? (4) Profit.]]>Feb 27th 2008 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/27/msi-intros-anion-laptop-power-saving-turbo-battery-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/27/msi-intros-anion-laptop-power-saving-turbo-battery-technology/
I also noticed my remark about public schooling looks smug. I assure you that it serves as a reminder about how the seemingly useless things you learn in high school will occasionally surprise you later in life. NOT that public schooling sucks. I went to public school since all the Catholic schools around me looked down upon co-education, evolution, and pre-marital sex. Damn prudes.]]>Feb 27th 2008 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/27/msi-intros-anion-laptop-power-saving-turbo-battery-technology/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/27/msi-intros-anion-laptop-power-saving-turbo-battery-technology/

Do you think extended battery life should be mentioned as well?]]>Feb 29th 2008 10:42AM
