REVIEW MSI GT640 GAMING NOTEBOOK

Whilst MSI has only altered details in the design lately, the manufacturer proves to be far more experiment-eager with the components.

A real value for money sensation is still the 15.4 inch and 800 to 1000 euroexpensive GX623. The notebook bids an unusual amount of performance at an affordable price due to Radeon HD 4670. Intel's Core 2 Duo is relied on as the processor. The bandwidth ranges from the T6500 with 2.10 GHz and the T6600 with 2.20 GHz (each with 800 MHz FSB, 2 MByte L2 cache), over the P7350 with 2.00 GHz (1066 MHz FSB, 3 MByte L2 cache) up to a P8700 with 2.53 GHz (1066 MHz, 3 MByte L2 cache).

The 15.4 inch GT628 is active in the next price league (1100 to 1300 euro). You can choose either the Core 2 Duo P8700 or the Core 2 Quad Q9000 (2.00 GHz, 1066 MHz, 6 Mbyte L2 cache). The graphic card is from Nvidia and listens to the name "GeForce GTS 160M".

The meanwhile new 15.4 inch GT640 for around 1400 euro has been reviewed by us. The notebook promises a very high performance equipped with Intel's very strong Core i7-720QM and the new GeForce GTS 250M. The current top model is finally theGT740 for merely 50 euro more. The components correlate to the GT640 for the largest part, but the display size is stretched to 17 inches.

The previous 17 inch spearhead, GT725 with a Core 2 Duo P9500 (2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 6 MByte L2 cache) or a Core 2 Quad Q9000 for about 1300 euro is scarcely available anymore. This is too bad in view of the integrated Radeon HD 4850that belongs to the stronger mobile graphic cards and is only very rarely built in.
