MSI's GE600: nine Benjamins, now shipping from Newegg
Though we question the MSI GE600's status as "gaming notebook" given it doesn't hold a candle to the company's signature red-and-black machines, those looking for a well-rounded, noble laptop -- not to mention a sub-$1000 price -- will now find just that on Newegg. For nine hundred clamshells, you'll get 16 inches of low-res 1366 x 768 real estate, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 320GB 7200 RPM hard drive and Mobility Radeon HD 5730 graphics, all fed their requisite bits and bytes by a 2.26GHz Core i5-430M CPU -- plus all the usual ports, Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi. Care to dine in the lap of semi-luxury? Now shipping.
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.
