MSI GX620 G-Series gaming laptop
MSI has announced the release of their latest updates to the GX-series of gaming laptops in the form of GX620.MSI's G-Series would be a good choice for those who want to break away from the usual brands like Acer, Compaq and HP just to name a few. The GX620 itself is quite attention-catching with stylish design, featuring a black brushed aluminum top cover, and its bright red outlines.
The review unit here comes with a 9-cell battery, which would be able to provide longer running times as compared to a 6-cell battery, but of course at the expense of the laptop being slightly heavier. The GX620 is generally well constructed, giving a solid feel to it - the chassis does not flex when some pressure is applied, and the hinge of the LCD screen is tight with no free play.
An Intel Core 2 Duo P9500 processor is at the heart of the GX620. It is a low-power 'full sized' mobile part clocked at 2.53GHz, but has a TDP rating of 25W. Intel has recently introduced the P9600 and P9700 though, which are clocked at 2.66GHz and 2.8GHz and have TDP ratings of 25W and 28W respectively. Nevertheless, the configuration of this laptop is pretty balanced with MSI's choice of Core 2 Duo P9500, and a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics chip.
Features of MSI GX620
NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT, Blu-ray drive and Dolby 7.1 digital surround sound capabilities. It's housed in a sleek yet tough alloy case with strong red accents, and features user friendly quick launch touch sensors.

This allows the notebook to run smoother and enhances the gaming experience. MSI's new ECO Engine allows users to alternate between 5 different operating modes to conserve battery life. By simply pressing the quick launch sensor, users can choose Gaming, Movie, Presentation, Office, or Turbo Battery mode to fit their power consumption needs.
