MSI GX680- Gaming/Video/Graphics Review

SI GX680
Great laptop for Gaming - Video Editing- Graphic designer.

The Screen-
Has a 15.6 inch, Full HD screen.
The screen does not reflect that much so you can work with quite a strong back light which is an advantage.


Sound-
2 HD speakers and 1 sub woofer by Dynamic Audio.
Amazing sound quality. Unbelievable that that sound comes out of a laptop. you really feel the surround comes from a laptop. Definitely one of the best features.

Geforce GT 555M:
Does an excellent job with games. All games run smoothly without any lags.

Cooler Booster:
When your computer start to heat, turn this on and you'll start felling the fan

i7 2670QM-
Great speed. Best technology out there.

USB 3.0:
Great to have. Has 2 ports.

Keyboard:
The down side of this laptop. some of the main key in the wrong location- delete, pagedown, "/" beside the left alt (?!!), volume up down with FN..



640GB 5400RPM:
You might want more if you're doing serious video editing. can make the render speed a little slow.

Touch-pad:
Ok. Nothing more. No scrolling. If you're gaming or editing video/graphics, you need a good mouse.

3.5 KG:
What can I say.. It's heavy but what can you expect..? It's a full featured computer stacked into a 'small' laptop.

HD WebCam:
Nice if you travel a lot. You get a really good quality video streaming from your side.

Final conclusions:

If you're a video editor- It will definitely do the job, might want more than 5400RPM. 640 GB is fine, but you'll have to connect a external hard disk.

If you're a gamer- This is the computer for you.

If you love watching movies, listening to music- you can get better than this.

Great computer, minor downsides, great purchase for the price.

MSI GX680 laptop is not the best in its price range, but then it also matters what other laptops you get where you live in the same price range and the quality of the Laptop is durable. I would not suggest for long term like 3-4 years thought, and if you have a good amount of budget, the laptop should do just fine without any issues.
