In terms of performance, the refreshed GT60 is better than its predecessor in every way. We like the laptop a lot, but it still has some issues that prevent it from being completely Kick Ass. While it’s not the most expensive notebook we’ve ever reviewed, it’s certainly not cheap at $2,100.

MSI keeps doing what it does best by creating gaming laptops that offer some of today's most advanced components in a well-built and familiar package. The end result may not be the most stylish or portable laptop, and it's a long way from being the thinnest, but the GT60 2OD 3K IPS Edition has bags of potential where it counts and you'd be hard pushed to find any laptop as capable as this for under £2,000.

Starting with the build quality and design of the GT60 20D we have a system which offers quite a spread of experiences. First and foremost the main chassis is decent, but it does feel a little dated when compared to some of the competition... and it is an evolution of a couple year old chassis which explains that... but the brushed metal effect areas do add to the quality.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M: High-end graphics card of the GeForce 700M series based on the Kepler architecture.
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.
4700MQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.4 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.

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.
