Little Package, Lotta Game: MSI announces 14″ Gaming Notebook
MSI has let the cat out of the bag, and the cat isn’t all that huge at 14.1″ across. In fact, to slap a notebook that small with a “gaming” badge is pretty unusual. But this one may live up to the billing.
The GX403 is a 14.1″ laptop that is designated just such a way. It will come armed with a Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a GeForce GT 130M 256MB dedicated GPU too, so it has plenty of muscle for some demanding time-passers. It’ll have 4GB DDR2 RAM and a pretty huge 500GB HDD. Sounds good so far.
The only caveat: the 1280×800 resolution of the screen, but that should be just great for most games. You can add on a Blu-ray player for watching movies, though with this resolution it may not be Full HD.
Other specs are typical for the breed: an integrated webcam, 802.11b/g/n, HDMI, eSATA/USB plus 2 regular USBs, a card reader, and other goodies. It’s pretty light too: only 4.8lbs with a 6-cell battery
The machine will come with Vista Home Premium, and pricing or availability have not been announced. This one sounds pretty powerful to us, and if you need your gaming PC in a small package, this might be just the ticket.
