MSI has announced their latest gaming laptop in the GE40. It is the perfect combination of Ultrabook portability and deadly gaming capability. The portable gaming laptop features a Intel Haswell Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M. What’s even better is that the unit itself only weighs 4.4lbs and measures less than 1-inch thick.
The 14-inch GE40 has a full aluminum body design that features a psychedelic dragon eye backlit design on the lid. Because of the GeForce GTX 760M users can output to 3 displays simultaneously (including the native notebook display). MSI is using Sound Blaster Cinema and Audio Boost for the best and most realistic sound possible. Other features include 8GB of DDR3 memory, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth Gigabit LAN, 720p webcam, USB 3.0 ports and a SD card reader.
MSI will be offering two configurations, which we have detailed below.
