MSI GT680 mini-review (2.00GHz Core i7-2630QM, GTX 460M 1.5GB)

A “quick” mini-review of the MSI GT680R-008US gaming laptop. Glad I switched from a Mac. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. A new MacBook Pro with similar specs would cost nearly 00 more than this did. Speaking of the price, it’s only 99 on Newegg (I paid 49 for it because I bought it directly from MSI). Specs: – 2.00GHz Core i7-2630QM, 2.9GHz Turbo Boost, Sandy Bridge, Intel HD 3000 – Nvidia GTX 460M 1.5GB GPU – 8GB RAM 1066MHz (4x2GB, as there are 4 RAM slots) – 1TB HDD (500GBx2 in RAID0; put one of them into a USB 3.0 enclosure and replaced the original with a 64GB Corsair Nova V64 SSD) – 1920×1080 15.6″ display (16:9 aspect ratio, for those who can’t do math) – 2xUSB 3.0, 2xUSB 2.0, 1xE-SATA, 1xHDMI, 1xVGA, card reader – Audio system by Dynaudio, which is simply the best speaker system you’ll ever find in a laptop – 2.0MP HD webcam – Full-sized keyboard w/numpad – 10/100/1000 [Gigabit] ethernet All that for 99? Lets see your stupid MacBook Pro give you all of those things for just 99. Will never ever happen. PCs will always provide a better value. I can care less about software, design, and support options. twitter.com www.msi.com
