While there are countless of gaming laptops in the market today, the MSI GX640-098US is probably one of the most notable when it comes to being fast despite its relatively lower price compared to other mobile computers for hard-core gamers.
The laptop’s capability to support fast-moving video games can be attributed to its multimedia powerhouse including 2.27GHz Intel Core i5-430M CPU, 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, and ATI Radeon HD5850 graphics card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
When it comes to displaying images, the laptop has a 15.4-inch LCD screen that has been designed to support 1680 x 1050-pixel that is great for gaming and video watching with its 8X DVD±RW combo drive. Consumers may also upgrade this computer by paying extra for a Blu-ray Disc player.
To complement the crisp and well-detailed video games, the laptop, which runs in Windows 7 Home, has built-in speakers that support impressively clear sounds.
Aside from features especially designed for hard-core gamers, the GX640-098US also offers technologies for web-centric users with its Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth connectivity, 1.3 built-in camera, and microphone which are the most basic features commonly found to mobile computers.
When it comes to ergonomic design, the gaming laptop boasts a full-sized keyboard with a complete number pad despite weighing less than 6 lbs. (which is the standard weight for powerful laptops). Another notable regarding its ergonomic feature is the a responsive touchpad and touch-sensitive buttons located above the keyboard for instant rewind, pause/play, stop, fast-forward, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, movie play, and access to webcam.
Because this laptop is designed particularly for gamers, its keyboard has a different look compared to a business computer. For example, the A, D, S, and W keys are highlighted with a color red and have a corresponding up, down, right, and left arrow. Meanwhile, the Ctrl and Fn keys have been swapped which may be confusing for some individuals during their first use.
As a powerful gaming laptop, consumers can expect a great option of ports including Ethernet port, microphone and headphone jacks, Express card slot, 4-in-1 multi-format card reader, two USB 2.0 ports, two line-in jacks, VGA-out port, and eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port.
