MSI GT660 gaming notebook now available in the U.S. with USB 3.0, Core i7
After being announced way back in February ahead of the CeBIT trade show, MSI's GT660 gaming notebook is finally available in the United States.
Powered by an Intel Core i7-740QM processor, the GT660 has the important makings of a portable gaming computer, including dual Dynaudio premium sound speakers and a subwoofer, MSI's signature Cooler Boost technology, and a flashy design with red LED lighting on the fringes. But the most important spec is the graphics card, which is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285M 3D Discrete GPU with 1GB of dedicated DDR3 memory.
