We've already heard about some of the systems MSI has in store for CeBIT -- including a 3D-capable Wind Top -- but it looks like the company still has bit more lined up, including this new GT660 gaming laptop. In addition to the requisite red accents to make it go faster, this one packs a quad-core Core i7 processor, along with GeForce GTX 285M and, just as notably, some USB 3.0 ports to ensure your peripherals are just as speedy. Still no word on a price or other specifics, but MSI is promising to say more about this and the rest of its new systems at CeBIT next week.
Wish the trackpad wasn't offset...
@txphisher
on most laptops the trackpad is in line with the space bar and this is no exception... I would rather it be in the middle though
@txphisher so you want to type with the touchpad under your right palm?
but yeah, it's pretty ugly.
@txphisher Underneath the chassis, you will find up to 12GB RAM to keep you going, a range of Intel Core i7 processors to choose from, Nvidia GeForce GTX 285M graphics card for your portable gaming needs.

That laptop is very Pew Pew
MSI is a poor man's Asus.
@Prevacator
I don't agree,MSI is an overpriced low quality Asus,The GT627 was priced 350$ more than my G50Vt-X1... And it didn't even have teh Bilnkin' lights!
My money is on the idea that this will cost more than the G73 for less performance and worse specs...BTW....Where did they get the designer for this from? Toshiba?!
@Sonicjet
The blinking lights made the G50 series.
@aeth Agreed...they are fancy....
Digging the Quasimo-esque looks.
(I say that in the most sarcastic way possible.)
@New Reformation
do you mean Qosmio?
Or are you saying it looks like The Hunchback of Notre Dame? (Quasimodo)
@Adeptus
lol I always think of lon chaney when I am trying to remember this laptop name. Yes, I meant "qosmio".
the look really come in 2nd for me, as long as there's some stable top of the line hardware for me to work with i'm happy!
somewhere along:
- < $1,500
- i7
- 5870(or gtx285)
- 4+gb ddr3
- 7200rpm hdd (or ssd)
- stereo speakers
- less than 9lbs
@GN1
You do know that the 5870 out performs the 285 by 25%?
@Sonicjet
Not to mention 5870 is DX11 capable, while the 285 is not. :(
@pachi72
I know!!! its funny that someone is going to buy this, somewhere. I'm not a gamer really but they got pwned.
Fugly, fugly, fugly...
Is it that hard to be minimalistic?
@pachi72 Looks like the ugly hunchback cousin to the Toshiba Qosmio x500 (as if that one's little brother wasn't already ugly enough with its flame design).
hi,
as top motherboard brand like MSI is also started launching gaming laptops, lets hope the price is affordable than Dell XPS or alienware gaming series. just found similar gaming laptops on http://www.best-laptops-deals.com/gaming-laptops.php
thanks
Why all of the flatulence related names?
When I read "Wind Top" I automatically thought "Top Trumps".
So basically you're just getting what's inside the laptop.
Looks - not even close to good
Screen - crappy
Keyboard/trackpad - cheap plastic keys, trackpad isn't in it's place.
OS - Windows 7
crap crap crap.. crap.
