MSI‘s CES press conference today was a low key affair: there were no tablets or outlandish Android devices to be see. Instead, we were treated to the PC peddler’s brand new laptops, all packing Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge CPUs.
Up first is MSI’s new gaming laptop line, its G Series models. All these tasty machines come with Sandybridge 32nm CPUs, USB 3.0 slots and Dynaudio speakers. At the top of the line are the MSI GT780 and GT680 17.3-inch monsters, complete with quad core Core i7 CPUs, hard disk and solid state storage and support for up to 16GB of RAM. Below them sit the slightly less outlandish and red 15.6 GR620 and GE620 models: all are out in the first half of the year, with UK prices TBC.
MSI’s slightly less outlandish F series of machines meanwhile still pack Sandy Bridge processors and USB 3.0, but vary in size from 17.6-inches with the FX720 and FR720 models, down to a much more portable 14-inches in the FX420. All are expected out before March this year.
We’ll be hitting MSI’s stand for a closer look at all its new products when the show proper opens on Thursday. In the meantime, get a quick glimpse at the new lappies here in our hands on gallery.
