Model:

MSI is well known for a multitude of options in the gaming notebook market segment. The MSI GT60 2PC - 464XPL DOMINATOR is another machine that delivers where it matters. The Windows 8.1 notebook has a familiar design employed by MSI right up to the black chassis and SteelSeries keyboard, which allows users to customize the background light.

The notebook comes with a 15.6" Full HD (1920x1080), anti-glare screen with good clarity and colors. There is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX870M GPU with either 6 GB or 3 GB GDDR5 graphics memory; depending on the configuration selected. At the core of the device is a 4th generation Intel Core i7 48000MQ processor and DDR3L 1600 MHz support up to 32 GB.

The storage is a combination of up to 384 GB Super RAID 2 + 750 GB HDD 7200rpm and the notebook is equipped with either a BD Writer / BD Combo / DVD Super Multi; again depending on the variant. The MSI GT60 2PC - 464XPL DOMINATOR comes with a 9 cell Li-ion 7800 mAh battery.

Other features include Killer E2200 Game Networking, Cooler Boost 2 technology and XSplit Gamecaster for game recording capabilities. The total weight of the notebook is 3.5 kg.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M: High-end graphics card from the GeForce GTX 800M series.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


4800MQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.7 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.7 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

3.5 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.


MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
