Nvidia released a bit of a bombshell today: They're bringing the full power of GTX980 to high end gaming notebooks. They're even bragging about the ability to overclock these things, which is just crazy. According to the video, it benchmarks under a delta of 5% of the desktop version...

MSI PE70: Introduction and Features It’s not every day we introduce an all-new series of notebooks, but it does happen. This time, it’s a system not aimed at gamers, but rather a system that sits beneath our Workstation lineup on the professional side of things – the Prestige series, or P...

Useless Gamer: GTA V With the launch of GTA V we figured another one of our “Useless Gamer” videos was in order. We basically set out on a mission as the highly lovable Canadian-in-denial Trevor and decided to check what sort of framerates the GT72 and its GTX 980M delivers. Hint: we’re...

Guys, we've been getting a ton of feedback regarding the warranty service from MSI, so we've been working to secure a new business relationship with a highly respected local warranty service provider PartServe. From now on you'll be able to take your notebooks to one of the national PartServe...

Quadro K2100M vs GTX 970M Ever wondered why workstation graphics are so expensive? While it is true that regular gaming graphics are good enough for most people for home and recreational use, a proper workstation graphics solution will still kick the snot out of a solution that comes with much...

Shortcut Manager Have you heard about Shortcut Manager? In brief, it’s a tool to make your life easier on the workstation series of notebooks. You can launch applications with a simple key press, or record and run more advanced macros and/or commands, all customized by you for the...

GeForce GTX 900M series – specifications With the launch of GTX 965M, which will be built into the GE62, NVIDIA has a full lineup of high-end mobile graphics in place. As we exclusively use NVIDIA graphics, we figured we’d take a moment and try to highlight the differences in specs on the...

GS30 Shadow and Gaming Dock internals The GS30 Shadow is a light, slim machine with a high-powered, high-voltage Intel Core i7 CPU and the usual stuff you find in an MSI Gaming notebook. One thing it does lack though, is a dedicated graphics card, instead it comes with a PCI-E 3.0 x16 connector...

GE62 internals The GE62 is NOT an upgrade-friendly notebook, let’s just clear that up from the start. It features a lot (closer to 20) of screws that you need to undo in order to get close to the tasty bits. Our hope is that this article will deter you from simply opening your GE62 for fun...

GE62 vs. GE60 The GE62 was unveiled at CES, and us obviously the successor to the out-going-but-not-quite-dead-yet GE60. In fact, the GE60 will still remain in the MSI line-up for a while, but the GE62 will bridge the gap between the GE60 and the GS series – it will be more upmarket than the...

So I wanted to use this thread to discuss a whole bunch of new notebooks that are being released from MSI, which were shown off at last week's CES. Also some pretty big local news to come especially for ME :D MSI brought a stack of new releases to CES. Really, it's not an exaggeration to say...

Yea, well pricing looks to be confirmed as $2000 for the pair. Then you have to add a GPU and monitor and I reckon a keyboard and mouse when it's docked. Of course, buying a desktop plus gpu means you don't have a decent notebook, and the GS30 is a very decent standalone ultrabook. I got some...

Just dropping this here: MSI wins Hardware award at NAG for the MSI GS60 2QE Ghost Pro 3K Gold Edition --Neo Sibeko

Super RAID 3 performance Super RAID 3 is MSI’s name for a 4-SSD RAID 0 solution used in the GT72. You may know that traditional mechanical hard drives are going out of fashion like… Uhh, I don’t know fashion, but their only upsides have been storage density as well as price. Until very...

Elder Scrolls Online on the GE60 We often focus on higher-end material when we present our technical articles, but as Christmas nears, we’re getting a bit lazy. Instead, we produce things like in-game videos of Far Cry 4 on those high-end machines, but we also have Elder Scrolls Online...
