MSI GT683DXR Gaming Laptop Review

Without doubt one of the main headlines as far as hardware goes is currently Ultrabooks. They offer a stylish, compact approach to mobile computing with plenty of battery life and decent performance. They are not for everyone though as the design ethic leads Ultrabooks down a path of limited storage, mid-range CPUs and integrated graphics. Ideal for productivity, media playback and browsing but not exactly great at content creation or gaming.

For the market segment where Ultrabooks are not suitable we have desktop replacement systems and one such machine is the MSI GT683DXR. Based on a familiar chassis it offers high end mobile speakers, a full HD screen and powerful CPU/GPU combination. Did we mention the dual hard drives in Raid 0 or 8GB of DDR3-1333, upgradable to 32GB? No. Well read on to find out what MSI can offer for the mobile enthusiast... HardwareHeaven
