MSI Launches GE600 laptop for gamers who need 'low-keyed luxury and nobleness'
We try not to single out auto-translated press releases that have funny phrases in them, but when your English missive promises a laptop with "low-keyed luxury and nobleness," well, it's hard to ignore. That's what's on the docket with MSI's GE600, a gaming and general entertainment machine that's been given a (rather subtle) golden hue for the luxe crowd. More importantly it features a discrete ATI Radeon HD5730 video card with 1GB of memory and DirectX 11 compatibility, Intel Core i5 processors, up to 500GB of storage, and a 720p-capable webcam. At 2.7kg (5.95lbs) it's not the lightest machine, but few DX11-compatible notes are exactly svelte these days. No word on price or availability, but we're going to go ahead and guess it'll cost less than other golden portable offerings.
ASUS prepping 17.3-inch Core i5-powered X77 gaming laptop?
Details are still fuzzy at best, but word on the street has it that ASUS is preparing to unveil a new mobile gaming rig in short order. The biggest news is the powerhouse within: it'll purportedly be based on Intel's dual-core Core i5-430M processor. In addition to that, the rumored GPU will be a potent ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730, which is likely to feature DDR3 memory. You'll also find a pair of 500GB hard drives, 4GB of RAM, an eSATA and HDMI port and a 1,600 x 900 LED panel that spans 17.3-inches diagonally. There's no official availability or pricing information to speak of, but Fudzilla is reporting that it should show up in just a few weeks for around€1,000 ($1,435). [Thanks, Karl]
