Renown PC manufacturer MSI continues to woe gamers in this year, with a couple of new high-performance notebook offerings, aptly named the GX70 and GX60 Destroyer.

The GX60 is a 15.6-inch lappy with an HD backlight panel (1920 x 1080 pixel resolution) while the GX70 has a 17.3-inch full HD LED backlight display.

MSI does not only offer the choice of an advanced configuration with an attractive price, but users purchasing the new models will be getting an extra goodie included in the package, a limited Battlefield 4 edition.

The two new Destoyers can handle almost everything in terms of gaming, as they draw power from AMD’s A10-5750M quad-core processor, which boosts performance with 10-15% compared to the previous generation, at the same time stabilizing heat dissipation levels and helping prolong battery life.

On top of that, the new laptops come equipped with the latest high-end AMD R9-M290X discrete graphics card with 256-bit memory bandwidth and 2GB of GDDR5 memory, thus being capable of supporting ultra-high quality resolution DirectX 11.

So thanks to the combined forced of the A10-5750M processor and R9-M290X display card, the two notebooks can run at 33 more Frames Per Second (FPS) even in full HD.

The duo supports up to three full HD monitors bundling the highest resolution so they can be used by professionals working with demanding applications from fields like medicine or graphic design.

Anticipating gamers’ needs, MSI has partnered up with gaming peripherals manufacturer, SteelSeries to equip the laptop with a responsive dedicated keyboard that features a Windows key that has been relocated on the right side to prevent users from accidentally hitting it while they play.

MSI GX70/GX60 Destroyer also bundle USB 3.0 with transfer speeds up to 4.8Gbps, a Gold Flash audio jack (bundling ultra-low resistance, conductivity and noise reduction technology to provide the clearest sounds).
