MSI GT680 Gaming Laptop Review (SSD/Bluray/i7/Nvidia)

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell June 8, 2011 Featured Announcement, Laptop / Mobile

To test the battery today we put the machine through three sets of real world situations. One as a media movie lover on the move, a person wanting to watch HD media on a train journey or bus with two thirds screen brightness (any less and quality suffers). Secondly as a business man, using the machine for productivity with wireless enabled and balanced power settings with a mid way (around half) brightness setting. Thirdly as a gamer on the move, with the nVidia solution fully active and screen brightness up high.

The 7800 mAh/87Wh, 9 cell battery is capable of keeping the machine alive for many hours under normal conditions, although when gaming you can expect the battery to be about to give up around the 1 hr and 30 minutes mark.

    Awesome ! I love the look, very alienware, but better value.

    the spec is really very good for the price. I think the GFX is the weak spot however. but adding something more powerful might require more space inside, as well as adding to the price. probably cost 2k for the higher end nvidia mobile gpu

    I have one of these already 🙂 I can highly recommend it, but I dont have the one with the SSD, mine is raid 0 – two mechanicals.

    Only negative is the heat on your lap, even when watching youtube videos. it can get a bit toasty imo

    Very loud design and I agree, almost alienware like in appearance.

    I do like it however, but I wish more of these manufacturers would offer backlit keyboards like apple do. its really helpful at night or in darker condfitions.

    I really like the looks of it. the panels along the edges is nice. Can the colours be controlled like alienware via software?

    I dont like the styling, its over the top imo. Good spec but needs a different chassis design
