They feature Intel's next generation top-of-the-line quad core processors and the nVidia new generation discrete graphics card-the fastest one of its kind on the planet. Specially designed to meet the extreme demands of extreme gamers around the world, these killer notebooks also boast awesome peripherals.



Eric Kuo, associate vice president for global sales, MSI Notebook, points out that MSI's soon-to-be-rolled-out, next generation of versatile gaming NBs-the GT60, GT70, GE60, and GE70, are the top battle laptops on the planet today and are the top choice of top players around the world (Top player, top choice!). Not only do they feature powerful next generation processors and discrete graphics cards, they also come with unparalleled peripherals, such as professional Steelseries keyboards and Hollywood cinema grade THX TruStudio Pro wrap around sound technology to meet the needs of serious gamers the world over. And to satisfy their 3D gaming needs, in addition to GT70's keyboard backlighting visuals with more than 1,000 variations, the GT60 and GT70 also have second generation Dynaudio sound technology, industry-leading professional grade Bigfoot Gaming LAN card, and up to 32G of memory. Now, equipped with your MSI G Series gaming laptop, you have all you need to be victorious in battles against foes no matter where they lurk in the known universe.

Versatile next generation GT60 and GT70
MSI has continued to roll out awe-inspiring, high-end notebook computers for extreme gamers. During CeBIT 2012, the firm will unveil the ultimate in next generation gaming laptops-the GT60 and GT70. Under the hood, you'll find unmatched next generation quad core processors and nVidia's fastest top-end discrete graphics card. They also offer gamers a smooth 3D gaming experience and sport the highly anticipated Bigfoot Gaming LAN professional-grade gaming card, second generation Dynaudio sound technology, THX TruStudio Pro smart wrap around sound, high-end professional-grade SteelSeries keyboards, and WiDi technology. These laptops pack everything you need to root out the bad guys from our universe.

Starfighter design, superior visuals: The new generation GT60 and GT70 extreme gaming laptops were meticulously designed by MSI with popular starfighter concepts and elements incorporated into every detail and set off by the brush finish of the aluminum chassis to offer extreme machines for extreme gamers. The GT60 features a 15.6-inch and the GT70 a 17.3-inch full HD screen and MSI's own Cinema Pro technology to further enhance picture quality for crisper images and richer colors for an unprecedented visual experience.

Superior hardware and processor and display processing: MSI's new generation GT60 and GT70 starfighter gaming NBs pack Intel's latest quad core processor and nVidia's newest generation, high-end discrete graphics card as well as the most advanced hardware architecture in history as well as MSI's TDE overclocking technology. When running resource-hungry 3D graphics, simply depress the Turbo hotkey above the keyboard to instantly throttle up system performance. The graphics display overclocking automatically kicks in system overclocking to give you crisp, vivid pictures, smooth graphics and awesome 3D pictures regardless of how complex they are.

Second generation Dynaudio offers top-quality sound: MSI worked in close collaboration with specialists at Denmark's world-renowned sound system designing firm Dynaudio to further enhance Dynaudio sound technology. Vast amounts of study and countless calculations went into determining ideal speaker locations to obtain obstruction-free sound transmission. MSI employed Gold flash audio jack, the best (and most expensive) conduction material in the world, in its sound I/O ports. The gold provides cleaner, crisper sound and reproduces stereo more precisely, while enhancing anti-oxidization, transmission efficiency, and noise reduction. The GT60 and GT70 even offer the serious gamer the best possible audio experience in the form of pure, obstruction-free sound through external stereo speakers or earphones. In addition, the THX TruStudio Pro smart wrap around sound, heretofore only found in high-end cinemas, enables the GT60 and GT70 laptops to reproduce various kind of music in any frequency band.

Unparalleled professional-grade SteelSeries keyboard: MSI has heard your calls for equipment designed with the gamer in mind. As such, we got together with SteelSeries, the leader in gaming peripherals, to create a new generation starfighter-grade keyboard for the MSI GT60 and GT70. And the GT70 can lets you choose from among five keyboard backlighting scenarios-Normal, Gaming, Wave, Breathing, and Dual Color, that can be used in coordination with variable section lighting, and seven colors offering over 1,000 variations. Gamers will also appreciate the fact that when you depress the Gaming Mode hotkey, the frequently used W, A, S, D, and Ctrl keys located on the left side of the keyboard are all backlit in LED while the rest of the keyboard stays dark. This allows you to quickly find the key you're looking for, so you can remain focused on the rapidly changing melee you are in, giving you that extra edge you need to come out on top.

Bigfoot Gaming LAN: Nothing is worse than losing to opponents in online games, because of slow transmission speeds. The record-breaking, new generation MSI GT60 and GT70 gaming laptops come equipped with Bigfoot Gaming LAN to give you blazing online transmission speeds that are not just faster… they can be as much as 16 times faster (see illustration below) to keep you way ahead of the game! The GT60 and GT70 also come with the newest USB 3.0 which transfers data at up to 4.8Gbps-10 times faster than USB 2.0, so a 25GB HD video can be transferred in just 70 seconds. It also recharges devices 80% faster. Now, your external hard drives, thumb drives, and various handheld devices transfer data and recharge much faster.

32GB of memory: New generation MSI GT60 and GT70 gaming laptops come equipped with four DDR3 memory slots to give you an incredible 32GB of memory. In addition, the RAID 0 accelerated dual hard drive architecture doubles hard drive memory and instantly increases hard drive read speeds, more than enough to meet the needs of battle scenes and other complex graphics.

MSI GE60 and GE70-The ultimate new generation of gaming laptops
The MSI GE60 and GE70 boast the most advanced hardware of any next generation gaming notebooks and are expected to steal the show at CeBIT. They pack Intel's latest quad core processor, nVidia's top-of-the-line discrete graphics card with 2GB GDDR5 of display memory, the high-end SteelSeries gaming keyboard, and THX TruStudio Pro smart wrap around sound. These machines give serious gamers around the world powerful processors and displays and an awesome light and sound show to give you the edge when you take on the bad guys.

Fast futuristic starfighter: Streamlined and built for speed, the exteriors of MSI's new generation GE60 and GE70 gaming laptops resemble starfighters. The metal chassis is sheathed in the latest laser-etched Color Film Print which is not only translucent, it protects against scratching and wear, while adding a touch of class. Reminiscent of leopard eyes, the lines further set off the metallic luster. Respond to the battle cry by taking your futuristic 15.6-inch GE60 or 17.3-inch GE70 into the fray.

Unequaled professional-grade SteelSeries keyboard: Responding to the call of extreme gamers, MSI worked side by side with leader in gaming peripheral design SteelSeries to provide the GE60 and GE70 a keyboard designed specifically with gaming in mind. It lets you choose from among five keyboard backlighting scenarios-Normal, Gaming, Wave, Breathing, and Dual Color, that can be used in coordination with variable section lighting, and seven colors offering over 1,000 variations in visual effects. Gamers will also appreciate the fact that when you depress the Gaming Mode hotkey, the frequently used W, A, S, D, and Ctrl keys located on the left side of the keyboard are all backlit in LED while the rest of the keyboard stays dark. This allows you to quickly find the key you're looking for, so you can remain focused on the rapidly changing melee you are in, giving you the extra edge you need to come out on top whether you're battling foes in some other galaxy or right here at home.

Top-of-the-line cinema-grade sound technology: MSI's GE60 and GE70 gaming laptops feature THX TruStudio Pro smart wrap around sound which offers performance heretofore available only in cinemas. It works in tandem with the cutting-edge speakers, so that the MSI GE60 and GE70 reproduce each and every sound faithfully, regardless of music or sound type.

Full array of HD features: MSI's GE60 and GE70 starfighter laptops are equipped with a full HD 16:9 wide screen that offers bright colors without those pesky black strips at the top and bottom of the screen when you watch films. The HD720p webcam allows you to enjoy smooth, bright high fidelity web calls with friends and family. If you want something bigger than a high definition computer screen for viewing films, the MSI GE60 and GE70 starfighter gaming laptops also come with an HDMI port, so any type of high-fidelity, high-definition video can be played on your NB, but viewed via a cable on a large-screen LCD television.

MSI's TDE overclocking technology: MSI's new generation starfighter GE60 and GE70 gaming NBs come with MSI's own TDE (Turbo Drive Engine technology), so when you're running resource-hungry 3D games, overclocking kicks in automatically to instantly rev up system speeds. The GE60 and GE70 also include MSI's Cooler Boost technology. Simply depress the glowing hotkey above the keyboard to switch on the powerful cooling capabilities to immediately reduce system temperature and increase system stability.

LOL at: "nVidia's newest generation, high-end discrete graphics card". Turns out this will just be rebadged GTX570M with a very minor bump in memory speed.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...38159-asus-rog-g55-g75-april-gtx-670m-18.html

Very disappointed in nVidia this round. If MSI can't deliver something cooler and more importantly QUIETER than the 780 and 783, I'll be looking elsewhere for my next gaming notebook. Don't get me wrong, as I'd prefer to see MSI winning the next round of the gaming laptop competition. They are the only ones to have the good sense to include an anti-reflective matte screen, put in the best sound system, and are nicely priced vs the competition.

What they have done wrong in the past is think that people care about more than 8 GB of RAM (I don't want to pay for something I'll NEVER use), botch the zero key on the numeric keypad (restore it's size or just skip the keypad), vented the laptops out the left side instead of the back, used a single fan to cool the CPU/GPU, not included air filters, didn't include Optimus, and for some reason think people actually want to buy a system with RAID 0 drives. I'd like mine with one 750 GB drive, and I'll put in my own SSD of my own choice (thank you very much MSI).

If Alienware was offering a Matte Screen with their better chasis, and preferably an AMD GCN video card, they would get my cash for a M17r4. But being a dell outfit, they will continue to gauge people and lose sales because of it. If they wouldn't have been so greedy, they could have kicked Asus and MSI's collective arses last round.
