MSI GT683DX: Powerful Gaming Notebook

MSI GT683DX is the proposed high-end with regard to the family of portable products for the gaming from Taiwan giant and is therefore endowed with a particularly powerful hardware configuration and without weaknesses, able to run smoothly both games of last generation that those who will come out soon. From the aesthetic point of view, the case is presented with the typical lines of MSI gaming notebook, featuring clean lines and nerve, midway between the futuristic and the military, perfect to express the power that comes with the laptop. The LED backlit display has a diagonal of 15.6 inches, with a ratio of 16:9 and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which then allows you to enjoy movies and games at high resolution.

How are the quad-core processor Intel Core i7-2630QM 2 GHz, combined with less than 16 GB of RAM type DDR3 1333 MHz To complete a budget like that, then MSI has chosen the NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics card with 570M of 1.5 GB of GDDR5 memory onboard type, which ensures superior performance of 20% over the previous generation DDR3. The card is high end and is based on core GF114, the same as the top range GTX 580M, compared to which, however, has 336 unified pipelines running, instead of 384. The working frequencies are equal to 575 MHz core, 1070 shader and 1150 MHz for the memory.

The card, of course, compatible with DirectX 11 and shader model with 5.0, also supports PureVideo HD technology for encoding and decoding of video streams at 1080p and Full HD DirectCompute 2.1, OpenCL and CUDA, so with the possibility of perform calculations beyond the 3D rendering, but still take advantage of potential parallelism from right in all of the GPU, such as physics in games with PhysX, or other professional applications. Very rich configuration possibilities for storage, all up to the rest of the hardware platform.

The students can choose between two RAID disks, for example, in denominations of 320 or 500 GB with a speed of 5400 RPM and 750 or 500 GB 7200 RPM, or, finally, a mix of traditional hard disk drives and solid state drives with hybrid configurations that include a 7200 RPM hard disk from 500 GB or 750 coupled to a 120 GB SSD. Among other notable features of course can not miss an optical drive type Blu-ray, HD webcams, USB 3.0 ports with the ability to charge external devices including notebook is turned off, thanks to the MSI-Charger, a multiformat memory card reader, HDMI and VGA video outputs, and both wired and wireless connections, with Gigabit Ethernet LAN, WiFi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, not to mention the 2.1 speaker system maintained by Dynaudio, a company with a solid HiFi tradition in the world.

Finally, the notebook is equipped with a lithium ion battery 9-cell 7800 mAh well, which should ensure a decent range, although it is obvious that we are talking about a desktop replacement and not a device suitable for use on the move, even because of its generous size and heavy weight, respectively equal to 395 x 267 x 55 mm and 3.5 kg. No official designation instead of concerning the cost and the date of issue.
