Gaming Laptops from MSI: Heavy Duty GX630 and GT735
By Wilson • Oct 23rd, 2008 • Category: LaptopsBeing different from the crowd is a daring act, but it is often the base for some really great ideas. MSI’s new decision to launch two gaming laptops, in an era when most producers are struggling to outshine the netbook, is definitely an innovative step.
The GX360 and the GT735 are the two machines made by MSI that feature an AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual Core Mobile Processor. The models differ in terms of their LCD screen dimensions. The GT735 has a 17 inch wide screen, whereas the GX360 features a smaller, 15.4 inch display.
Other variations are also clearly marked: the GX630 offers 4GB of RAM, dual speakers and a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics. Obviously this high-end graphics card is the most impressive feature that distinguishes this model from its predecessor, the MSI Megabook GX600-084. On the other hand, the GT735 has 4 speakers along with a HD audio woofer and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3850. However, the 4 GB of memory and 320 GB of SATA HDD are common in both machines. Moreover, the two machines also share some other characteristics in common, including a card reader, USB ports, a Wi Fi and Bluetooth.
As such, a consumer is presented with an amazing choice, whereby he can buy a notebook that can better entertain his requirements. The best part of launching two different models simultaneously is the option of comparing their performance. The GT735 costs $1,049.99 (around £650) and the GX360 is available for $1,249.99 (around £770), which is not a huge difference. So the consumers are likely to judge the gaming notebooks by the appeal and not the price difference as it is too petty to influence an opinion.
