MSI has unveiled a new updated pair of gaming notebooks which will be powered by AMD Richland APUs. The MSI GX70 and GX60 are “the world's first AMD Richland A10-5750M powered gaming laptops”. Both the new notebooks are equipped with an AMD A10-5750M APU which includes the latest AMD Radeon graphics chipset and “promise an increase in visual performance by up to 40 percent over previous generations”. Battery life and CPU performance are also said to be boosted.
“The GX70 and GX60 deliver the ultimate sensory experience for both professional and amateur gamers,” said Andy Tung, vice president of sales for MSI US. “MSI is committed to the gaming community and we understand that cutting-edge components results in exceptional performance.”
The GX70 is equipped with a 17.3-inch screen and the GX60 is equipped with a 15.6-inch screen, but they are both Full HD Anti-Reflective Display (16:9; 1920 x 1080) offerings. The screen size difference obviously means that these two laptops vary in size and weight but otherwise the specs are quite similar. The table below shows exactly what the similarities and differences are, among the key specifications.
