MSI today unveiled a pair of new G Series gaming laptops outfitted with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 570M discrete graphics. Available in 15.6-inch (GT683DXR) and 17.3-inch (GT780DXR) form factors, MSI is pitching both at the "serious gamer seeking unmatched power with an unprecedented immersive experience." Let's see how MSI backs up that claim.
Sitting at the top of the totem pole is the GT780DXR-099US. This flagship model ships with an Intel Core i7 2630QM processor, the above mentioned Nvidia GeForce GTX 570M graphics chip with 1.5GB of GDDR5 memory, 1.5TB of storage (2x750GB), 16GB of DDR3 memory, Blu-ray burner, GbE LAN, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, multi-memory card reader, two USB 3.0 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, 720p HD webcam, Dynaudio Premium Sound Speakers, SteelSeries gaming backlit keyboard, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and a 9-cell battery. These specs will set you back $2,000. For $200 less, the 17.3-inch model is also available in a slightly toned down configuration that includes 12GB of DDR3 memory , 1TB of hard drive storage (2x500GB), and a DVD burner.
The 15.6-inch model is also offered in two configurations priced at $1,700 and $1,850 with the same spec sheets, only minus the SteelSeries keyboard and with 1TB on both SKUs.

I think it’s the best place to get personalized, reliable and quick advice. They rank the best laptops in different categories based on both experts and users’ reviews. They also have a cool personalization slider that lets you optimize the results based on the criteria that are most important to YOU.

Wow look at what kind of Mobile hardware $2000 gets you. $2000 dollars used to buy you just a basic laptop with hardware that was at least a generation behind desktops and usually 2 or 3 generations behind. It's a great time to be a consumer.

I bought GT683DXR from newegg.com for 1599.99 w/ free shipping. I use this to game and record my lectures in class. In turbo battery mode, it says 4hours 57mins, while sound recorder is running. When it's not plugged in AC, can't use Turbo button (oc's the vid card 5%) but I'm sure there's a good reason for that :P
a pair of 500GB 7200RPM in RAID 0 for 1TB hard drive, 12GB RAM, 1920x1080 display, loving my laptop. The breathing lights, or synch to MP3s is a nice touch too. Keyboard is nice and responsive, the buttons on the touchpad, require a 'tad' more effort, but I usually have my BT mouse anyway.

I have one of these, and all I can say is it's quite awesome. The GTX570M is very capable at the native resolution of 1080p, plays Crysis 2 with high res textures and DX11 without a hitch. I'm also loving the speakers and keyboard.
