MSI Launches GS70 and GS60 Gaming Notebooks

Now if you think that the Dominator Pro is a little over the top both in specs and in price, worry not because MSI Philippines also launched lower-tiered gaming laptops that are cheaper but can still provide much needed fire power for your gaming needs.

    What caught my attention weren’t the laptops, as I’ve seen news of them when they were released. ANYONE HERE KNOWS WHERE TO BUY THAT CONTROLLER? It’s the SteelSeries Free. OMG.

    My 1st Laptop was the MSI – FX420. One drawback is that I need a Game Booster to run certain games although I have a Intel Dual Core Processor, 4GB memory, & 32 bit Windows 7 O.S. An I series processor & 64 bit O.S. along with a 16GB Ram (64GB – 128GB is hard to find)is highly recommended for games though. Maybe I will go for a P20,000 – P40,000 gaming laptop with a Windows 10 O.S. one day!

    If the GS70 has Full-HD resolution, shouldn’t it be 1920×1080?
