Responding to the need of gamers for a keyboard designed just for you, MSI collaborated with leader in gaming peripherals SteelSeries to equip MSI's newest generation gaming laptop with a keyboard designed just for them. Not only is it twice as durable as traditional keyboards and the responsiveness of the keys like that of desktop computers, the Windows start key has been relocated to the right side of the keyboard to greatly reduce the likelihood that you're going to hit it accidently in the heat of battle.

In addition, the embedded power amplifying chip (AMP) ensures top-quality stereo sound in high-end earphones, so you can hear dialog with comrades-in-arms more clearly and what's happening around you in the game and from which direction. The audio solution is ideal for serious gamers and music lovers alike.

The MSI GX70/GX60 Destroyer also sports the latest USB 3.0 port with transmission speeds of up to 4.8Gbps--10 times faster than USB 2.0, so a 4.8GB HD DVD movie is transferred in a mere 8 seconds.

"the gaming laptop", "the destroyer", "breakthroughs in cutting-edge gaming"... and CPU in level of i3 ULV series.
no wonder that some investors start to sue for overhyped marketing. I just wonder why clients do not do the same.

The CPU will bottleneck the GPU, but there's sacrifices to be made at such a low price point...

Is almost certainly true.

After using 2 PCs with some significant bottlneck (single core athlon with 4650 GDDR3, Phenom II with 6950 unlocked) I shudder each time I see things such as this.

So, what is the price for the 17" model?

Also, we need some review to that M290X videocard

EDIT:
It seems that the M290X is just a rebrand of the 7970M or 8970M GPU, with very little GPU speed bump. That's all.
Shame on you AMD for deceiving again and again!

I like it though I wish they put the ability to increase BCLK and vcore in the BIOS because that would mean I could OC it for up to 30% more speed if the cooling and battery held up.

They are fat because they need better cooling, and bigger battery. Is only natural.
Besides those are DRS (Desktop Replacement System), not real laptops.
If you want just to use FB, mail or play crappy games, you can always use your phone or a tablet.
