Actually, I was thinking 7lbs seems heavy for the way it looks (it could be the angle of the shot). It looks fairly low key yet attractive. More details on this would be appreciated.]]>Mar 15th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/Mar 15th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/Your eyes DO deceive you. If they'd have committed fully to the design it might be nice.

That's pretty sad for a gaming rig. My old school HP DV7 has a 640 and 500."

Pretty sad for a gaming rig? You get a full terabyte on a laptop and your whining over 140GB? Also, 500GB @ 7200 rpm is the best you get at the moment for traditional sized laptops.]]>Mar 16th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/Mar 15th 2010 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/
1,280 * 720 = 921,600 / 1,000,000 = ~ 0.9 MP]]>Mar 15th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/haha.. i guess if you're a blurrycam it would be .9mpix..

Actually you needed to mulitply by 1M... 9Mpix...]]>Mar 15th 2010 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/
Or no.. you're right.. which sounds odd but I suppose it's true..]]>Mar 15th 2010 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/Mar 15th 2010 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/Asus N61 is smaller notebook with a lower resolution. Here one would expect at least 1600x900.
Also, 2 HDDs is perfect. One can be later replaced by SSD and Game ON! :)]]>Mar 15th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/I have an N61JQ, and to tell you the truth, the 1366x768 resolution actually keeps games playable at sharper native resolution. So far I really like it, especially since it was under $1K.

Though I will readily admit, the display resolution and viewing angle is the achilles heel of the N61JQ, and with the 5730 being about equivalent to a desktop 4670, you aren't going to be able to increase resolution too far with an external monitor and maintain frame rates with eye candy turned on.

I played some Risen with it on my lap yesterday and with everything cranked to high at 1366x768 it was pretty speedy. Heat management is good too as long as you don't put your hand in front of the vent, the bottom stayed cool enough to use without a lap pad.]]>Mar 15th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/Mar 15th 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/msi-announces-ge700-gaming-laptop-for-those-who-like-to-be-enter/lol. You're comparing an 11in portable rig (M11x) with average gaming to and 17in full gaming rig (this post).

Shall I explain the futility of comparing apples to oranges?]]>Mar 16th 2010 12:28AM
