Yeah thts what I thought but I thought I would throw it out there to see what you guys think. I like both colors although the brushed metal would be pretty sweet

[ztrimby]

And yes it has optimus

660m is confirmed on ge60. I sent gentech an email and they confirmed it for later this week prob.

if its really coming out in the next week, i'm 100% buying one.

[eba170]

Does anyone have the ge60? Says its for pre-order only until eta mid-may.

[eba170]

Oh ya, and at gentechpc and xotic pc the ge60 has pictures of some other model, not sure if thats right or not but the ge60 looks way different from the pictures they show.

[ztrimby]

It says on Xotic the pics are from the ge620dx. Wich is obviously not a ge60. You can tell by the keyboard also. The control is not enlarged and the Windows key is not relocated to the right side of the space bar. I'm extremely disappointed with gentech if they have been advertising this like that as it clearly says "the msi ge60's Brushed metal exterior Is..."

I ordered my GE60 from ProStar on Monday the 7th and they shipped it on Friday the 11th. According to UPS tracking it should arrive on Weds!

To add to the discussion about the exterior, it is black with red racing strips and NOT brushed metal. I was gonna put a laptop skin on mine because I'm not crazy about the looks, but to each their own. Also, I hope that the weight of it is closer to 5.28 pounds rather than 5.5. I realize not a huge difference but the relatively low weight for such a gaming spec'd laptop was a big selling point for me. I'm gonna be hauling it around campus when I go back to school in the fall.

Really, then which machine is gentech getting these pictures of?
GenTech PC - MSI GE60-0N-006US 15.6 inch with nVidia GT650M
They're advertising it as having brushed metal ...

So has anyone gotten their hands on these yet? My only concern is it overheating. I have the gx600 and it overheats fairly often but it performs well otherwise.
