King of gaming notebooks—the GT660 debuts at CeBIT
The GT660, the king of gaming laptops and MSI's pioneering achievement for 2010, stole the spotlight when it was unveiled at this year's CeBIT.

Past tense? Damn it I must have been in another coma and missed CeBit 2010....

Nice looking redesign but they got rid of the best feature of the old chassis...the brushed aluminum...and kept the worst...the red. I wonder if it's 16:9.


Overall though I do like it. 2 HDDs bays and 3 RAM slots are great and if they can make a 15.4" (or 15.6") chassis that can cool an overclocked GTX280 I'll be very impressed. MSI would still need a GX760 version with a HD5870 though before I'd buy one.

Minus the light show, that's a pretty slick looking notebook.

how long do you think it will take for the gt660 to see the public?

If i had a choice between this and the gx640

Ill take the gt660

My guess would be June.

The GTX285 would definitely out perform a GDDR3 Mob HD5850 but it might not completely outperform a GDDR5 version.

So what do you think of the back of the machine?

Looks like maybe power, network, VGA, HDMI and Display Port...and seems like there's grills for two fans, though one of them is almost completely blocked out.

What's not shown on the back is also pretty interesting....there's no battery pack sticking out.

I think maybe the one on the left looks blocked because of the angle?

Looking forward to seeing some proper images of this thing anyway, fingers crossed it will be a cool notebook, and good value.

The design makes me immediately think of Toshiba's Qosmio.

That behind shot makes it look pretty slim. The GX740 is already down to 1.38", so I wonder what the dimensions on this are.

There's a bit of a resemblance to the X505 because of the speakers and the red trim but it's definitely not something like how the Envy is a Macbook doppelganger.

I'd likely turn the LEDs off....unless they can turn colors other than red.
