MSI Unleashes T780DXR and GT683DXR Gaming Notebooks in the US

MSI has recently announced the US release of two new G-series gaming notebooks, the T780DXR and GT683DXR, which pair Intel's fast quad-core Sandy Bridge processors with an Nvidia-built GeForce GTX 570M discrete graphics card.

Weighting in no less than 3.9Kg, the MSI GT780DX is built around a 17.3-inch LED backlit display that is available in both HD+ (1600x900) and Full HD (1920x1080) resolutions.

Under the hood of the MSI notebook, users will be greeted by one of Intel's fastest mobile Sandy Bridge processors, namely the Core i7-2630QM, which can be seconded by as much as 16GB of DDR3 system memory.

As far as storage is concerned, the MSI GT780DX can be configured to feature as much as two hard drives with a spindle speed of 7200RPM, installed in a RAID 0 configuration, delivering up to 1.5TB of storage space.

A DVD burner also complements the standard version of the GT780DX, but users can also opt for a Blu-ray drive if they so desire.

As mentioned previously, graphics is handled by an Nvidia-built discrete GPU, the GTX 570M to be more precise that is coupled with 1.5GB of fast GDDR5 video buffer, while the audio sub-system is comprised of two regular speakers and a Dynaudio subwoofer.

Similar to the GT780DXR, the 15.6-inch Full HD GT683DXR model also comes equipped with impressive specs, including the Nvidia GeForce GTX 570M discrete GPU and an Intel Core i7-2630QM processor.

An updated version of the model is also available with Blu-ray Burner and 16GB of DDR3 memory.
