Model: The MSI PX60 2QD-037RU is a mid-range laptop from MSI’s new Prestige series. It features an Intel Core i7 5700HQ 2.7 GHz CPU, 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM, a 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX950M graphic card with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM. Thus, it can cope with many tasks from business to entertainment. Its matte 15.6-inch IPS display features a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. With a size of 39 x 26.6 x 2 cm and a weight of 2.1 kg, the device is lightweight for a 15.6” laptop. As Microsoft Windows 8.1 is pre-installed and can be upgraded to Windows 10, there is no installation required upon purchasing.

The device features a silver aluminum chassis and black keys. The multimedia features include built-in speakers, a microphone and a 1.3 MP webcam, which is capable of recording HD videos. The laptop's 3834 mAh lithium ion battery is able to deliver 3 hours of working time. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are included for wireless communication. The connectivity includes three USB 3.0, an HDMI port, a mini DisplayPort, an Ethernet RJ-45 jack, and an SD card reader.

Series: The unique MSI PX60 series differs from other gaming laptops by MSI by its all metallic silver chassis. Design is elegant with emphasis on a sophisticated look. The lid features a silk texture and the clean edges are inspired by boutique fashion. There is a full-sized keyboard with white backlight and a big, slightly off-center touchpad. The hinges operate smoothly and do well to hold up the display, which comes in the form of a beautiful, anti-reflective 15.6-inch FHD panel (1920 x 1080 pixels). MSI has placed priority on color matching with up to 6 pre-sets of true color profiles for various scenarios.

Audio matches the display quality with 4 speakers by Dynaudio powered by Nahimic sound technology. The Windows 10 device comes in various configurations, of which an Intel Core i7-5700HQ processor, a maximum of 16 GB DDR3L RAM, an Nvidia GeForce GTX960M is the best. Users can also choose from various storage configurations ranging from HDD to SSD combinations. The MSI PX60 Series comes with a FHD webcam, Bluetooth 4.0, an HDMI out, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.1 Type C port, a mini Display port and a card reader. Battery life on this machine is provided by a gigantic 6-cell pack that allows for great mobility.

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.  

5700HQ: Broadwell-based quad-core processor for notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5600 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» 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.
