Hi there


We have had MSI build us our own specification of laptop. We all known that for gaming performance the graphics card is the crucial aspect and having larger hard drives, 16GB of RAM or mental powerful I7 quad core processors won't actually improve gameplay that much as its the graphics card which adds the most FPS to your games and visual effects. :)

As such I present you this truly amazing deal:-


MSI GT780DX-603UK 17.3" WLED TFT Intel I5-2430M, 8GB DDR3, 750GB HDD, NVIDIA GTX 570M 1.5GB GDDR5 Graphics, Win7 Home Premium 64-Bit - Back/Red @ £1,199.99 inc VAT

What do gamers desire most? MSI knows best! In GT780DX, MSI not only conducted research with the world-class team Fnatic, but also collaborated with SteelSeries, a leading manufacturer of professional gaming peripherals, to develop a “gamer’s keyboard” never before seen in gaming notebooks. GT780DX provides you the best gaming experience!

GT780DX has a 17-inch Full HD screen, which projects a vibrant visual effect. The latest top-end NVIDIA Geforce GTX570M graphic card with 1.5GB GRDDR5 memory gives the notebook an extraordinary gaming performance. GT780DX is fully compatible with DX11, which provides an ultra-smooth and vivid three-dimensional visual experience.

In order to present the best sound effects, the GT780DX speakers are uniquely configured. Besides the two side speakers projected toward the user, there is also a subwoofer sound hole at the bottom. This configuration immerses gamers into a realistic, three-dimensional battlefield experience.

The exterior design of the GT780DX combines the classic, succinct appearance of a limousine with the aerodynamic contour of a spacecraft creating a low-key composure but powerful image. The black casing of the GT780DX is specially covered with brushed aluminum, coupled with the silver msi logo, it makes the GT780DX a symbol of the coexistence of textural quality and ultimate performance.

To avoid accidentally touching the touch pad while gaming, the GT780DX is equipped with a control switch for the touch pad on the side of the keyboard

i5 cpu? Seriously? Doesn't seem to be the right cpu for this machine. Should be a quad core imo.

Its a gaming machine, the most important aspect is the graphics card and an I5 Dual Core CPU that runs at 3.00GHz in Turbo mode is more than ample enough for games.

For example you could have the same laptop with an I7 Quad core but with a GTX 560M to try and balance out the cost, but the I5 machine would still be quicker in games.

If your doing some kind of decoding work or more CPU intensive task then of course an I7 is beneficial. But these laptops are sold as gaming laptops and designed for gaming, the most important aspect of gaming is the graphics card. As such you can now get a laptop which will play games extremely well with a GTX 570M for an incredibly low price. :)
 
Can this laptop easy replaced to 2.5" solid state (sata 3) ? or remain on sata 2 ?

I believe it is SATA3. :)

There is capacity for 2 drives in this laptop, so you can just add an SSD as the boot and still hold onto the 750GB storage drive. :)
