    People have got hold of es a8 chips for the gx series which are unlocked, running at 3.6ghz they actually release the 8970m quite a bit more. Its a shame amd locked the retail chips and stopped msi perhaps releasing with an overclock button which they have before. Sad really.

    If you're looking for a good gaming capable laptop in a business professional package (The GP60/70 look more business friendly which is a draw) I recommend the Dell Precision M6800. They're firepro GPUs hold up well for games (between 8870m and 8970m), they're pretty rugged for travel, and they won't make your boss frown when you take it to a client's site.

    Thought I would throw that out there for the business trapped crowd since that was one of the main attractions of this MSI series. I'd be down with them if the GPU was better than a 740m

    That middle column, that's a hell of a lot of laptop for under 1k. Nice. Also, really good to see them ditching the utterly broken Windows 8.
