MSI GX600 Extreme Edition Reviews

Summary of review published by Laptop Magazine — February, 2008


Hardcore gamers would always want to push their rigs to the limit. That is why MSI came up with the GX600, a budget notebook for gamers that you can easily overclock. From the design to the system configuration, you can easily tell that this is not your typical office type notebook. With its 15.4 inch LCD capable of displaying 1680 x 1050-pixel resolution, the reviewer stated that gaming never felt cramped. The Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics engine with 512MB of video memory scored strong on benchmarks and during actual gaming. When it comes to overclocking, the GX600 has the Turbo Drive Engine that overclocks the system during operation with a touch of a button. Once overclocked, the GX600 achieved mixed benchmark results. The reviewer stated that in overclock mode, there was only a one-point improvement in gaming frame rates at maximum settings. As for the battery life, the reviewer noted that if you plan to have an all-nighter, you would have to keep it plugged. All in all, the reviewer found the GX600 a great value for a budget gaming notebook and that if you dig the design and the overclocking capabilities, then it’s the notebook for you.
Pros:
-Easy overclocking
-Great graphics
