When it rains gaming notebooks, it apparently pours gaming notebooks. The Razer Blade is due any time now, just yesterday we told you that the MSI GT685 launched, and as it turns out, MSI has launched yet another laptop; the GT783. It’s 17.3-inch screen holds an almost 2-inch advantage over the GT685, and MSI put the extra real estate to good use, stocking the GT783 with a Core i7-2670QM, a GeFore GTX 580M with 2GB of VRAM, and a lot of other goodies.

That 17 inch display is anti-reflective and full HD, by the way, with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. The starting version on MSI’s website includes 16GB of RAM (configurable up to 32GB thanks to four DDR3 slots) and a 128GB SSD paired with a 750GB HDD. Other features include a Blu-ray player/burner, THX TruStudio Pro audio technology with Dynaudio speakers, a backlit SteelSeries keyboard, two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI output, and a 720p webcam. This bad boy’s built for fragging, though, and it caters to gamers with a 9-cell battery, enlarged ALT and CRTL keys, and dedicated buttons that engage MSI’s performance-enhancing Turbo Drive Engine technology and its Cooler Boost rapid system-cooling technology.

Are you in the market for a big ol' gaming laptop? The GT783 is available now on MSI’s website for a cool $2,500.
