MSI’s Fastest Gaming Notebook Is an Overclocking Beast [Notebooks]

Intel’s next-generation core processors are just out of the oven, and you’ll already overclock the bejeezus out of ‘em. The G Series notebooks from MSI? They assist you to overclock 10-15% beyond what Sandy Bridge intended.

The 17.3-inch GT780 and 15.6-inch GT680 both pack the newest Core i7 quad core processors, at the side of MSI’s Turbo Drive Engine, an overclocking technology that juices up your system with the touch of a button. Both feature Nvidia GeForce GTX 500 Series (or 400 Series) graphics cards, along side USB 3.0 standard, dual SSD storage, and up to 16GB RAM. Vrooooom.

Surely a challenger will emerge, probably even sometime this week, that may push Sandy Bridge to even more brazen speeds. But for now, the G Series appears like a gorgeous sick ride in an incredibly fast machine.

The GT680′s coming this month for the sounds-expensive-but-maybe-not-for-what-you-get sticker price of $1500, with its big brother following sometime this spring.
