I am glad to know that MSI has introduced the cheap but powerful gaming laptop. The MSI GX630-028US 15.4-inch gaming notebook is priced at $800. If you are interested, the laptop features an AMD dual-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT video card, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 250GB hard drive, a 2MP webcam, HDMI output, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Users can also overclock this notebook thanks to the MSI Turbo Drive Engine technology that will increase the speed of CPU performance by 15% while in AC mode. No word on the release date so far.
