MSI GT783 (Also) ‘World’s Fastest Gaming Laptop’
Interestingly, there are quite a few laptops on the market right now that are the “world’s fastest gaming laptop”. You can be absolutely certain that it’s not the MSI GT783, however.
MSI Launches GT685 with GeForce GTX 580M
15.6-inch laptops with the world’s fastest mobile GPU aren’t exactly a dime a dozen. Actually there has just been one so far, so this release is far more interesting than, say, the overblown hype surrounding the Razer Blade.
How Much Video RAM Do I Need?
MSI has just issued another press release concerning its 17.3-inch GT780DX–the latest model from MSI, which looks very attractive in terms of specifications and pricing. The only news this time, however, seems to be that MSI has doubled the amount of video RAM available to the included NVIDIA GTX 570M from 1.5GB of GDDR5 to [...]

An AMD representative may have claimed that it’s time to put an end to the Intel vs. AMD rivalry, but that time has yet to come–especially to entry-level gaming laptops.

Much Improved Integrated Graphics in Intel’s Ivy Bridge
199 per cent better to be precise, according to Intel. Ivy Bridge will replace Sandy Bridge as the company’s first processor on the 22nm production process and will be launched somewhere around March/April.
Ambient Occlusion Added to Skyrim, CoD: MW3 with NVIDIA Beta Drivers
The GeForce 290.36 (beta) drivers were just released by NVIDIA for laptops and desktops alike and besides a few fixes over the previous version, the highlight is the addition of the ambient occlusion for Skyrim and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This adds another layer of realism to the games, with the usual downside [...]
Razer to Bring Switchblade to the Market?
Some readers no doubt remember the Switchblade–a concept 7-inch gaming netbook/handheld gaming console that Razer introduced at CES back in January. It was powered by an Intel Atom processor and an unknown graphics solution (although NVIDIA’s ION chip was pretty much the only candidate at the time) and came with Windows 7–a combination that would [...]
