Incredible performance for incredible graphics

Intel 3rd generation Core i7 quad core processor: The GE60 and GE70, MSI's new generation gaming notebooks, feature the Intel third generation Core i7 quad core processor. This cutting-edge processing platform employs 22nm production technology, currently the most advanced on the planet, enhancing processing performance by as much as 15% over the previous generation, while saving power and optimizing cooling capabilities. To kick up performance a few more notches, the new generation Intel Core i7 processor supports Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, a technology which automatically allocates processor resources in accordance with processor load, thereby enhancing the core speed of each core to maximize computer performance.

Nvidia's high performance GeForce GT 650M discrete graphics card: The powerful MSI GE60 and GE70 come locked and loaded with the Nvidia GeForce GT 650M discrete graphics card which boasts 2GB GDDR5 of display memory to give it the most advanced hardware. These machines boast over 10,000 points on 3D Mark Vantage (P Score). That coupled with the fact that it supports DirectX 11 and Nvidia PhysX technologies. You will be amazed by the detail in explosions going off all around you, smoke and dust over battlefields, as well as wisps of clouds and rippling water in adventure games.

MSI's TDE overclocking technology: MSI's new generation GE60 and GE70 gaming NBs come with MSI’s own TDE (Turbo Drive Engine technology), so when you're running resource-hungry 3D games, overclocking kicks in automatically to instantly rev up system speeds. The GE60 and GE70 also include MSI's Cooler Boost technology. Simply depress the glowing hotkey above the keyboard to switch on the powerful cooling capabilities to immediately reduce system temperature and increase system stability.

Sport lines a visual cue to the power within

Speed and aerodynamics of a cheetah: The GE60 and GE70—MSI's new generation of battle laptops, weigh just 2.5kg and 2.8kg, respectively. Who says great things don't come in small packages? The sport lines on the cover are reminiscent of a cheetah and represent speed and power. The metalloid chassis is sheathed in the latest laser-etched Color Film Print which is not only looks cool, but also protects against scratching and wear. The red cheetah eye design further layers their aesthetic beauty. Pick the 15.6-inch GE60 or 17.3-inch GE70 as they will give you the edge you need when the call to battle sounds.

MSI Audio Boost solution: To give you unequaled surround stereo sound, the GE60 and GE70 gaming laptops employ MSI Audio Boost solution technology to bring next-generation sound technology to an even higher level of perfection. The audio output employs a gold flash audio jack, which although expensive, is the best conductor there is. It also prevents oxidation, enhances transmission efficiency, and reduces noise, endowing the GE60 and GE70 with crisp, clear, high fidelity stereo sound. In addition, the built-in earphone AMP even gives headsets superior acoustics, so you experience stereo sound to give you a sense of space and directions when playing and no lag when listening to game sounds or when talking with teammates. It doesn't get any better than this.

The ultimate weapons, the ultimate peripherals

Unparalleled professional-grade SteelSeries keyboard: Responding to cries from gamers, MSI got together with gaming equipment manufacturer SteelSeries to create a keyboard for the GE60 and GE70. Not only is the keyboard more rugged, the Windows function key has been repositioned to the right side to reduce the possibility of accidently striking it when you're surrounded by bad guys.

Latest USB3.0 ports: The GE60 and GE70 come with USB3.0 which boasts transfer speeds of 4.8Gbps—10 times faster than USB2.0, so a 25Gb HD film transfers in just 70 seconds. It also provides 80% more power for vastly faster charging speeds for external hard drives, flash drives, and other handheld electronic devices.

Full array of HD features: The GE60 and GE70 sport anti-glare full HD screens which are 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch in size, respectively, for the best possible visuals. The 720p, 30 fps HD webcam gives you smooth video and impeccable resolution when conferencing with friends and family. If you want something bigger than a high definition computer screen for viewing films, the MSI GE60 and GE70 gaming laptops also come with an HDMI 1.4 port, so any type of high-fidelity, high-definition video can be played on your NB, but viewed via a cable on a large-screen LCD television.
