Hi guys if you are bored of Dell, HP laptops and you dont want to spend 2000$+ Alienware laptops but still wanting the top performance for the price, then here is the answer. MSI GX660. MSI, a renowned brand for motherboards and graphics cards all over the world has recently entered the mobile computing market with a bang, their GX640 was a huge hit. Having the performance of a 1700$ alienware (similar specs), GX640 was hard to beat. But it had some disadvantages, including keyboard flex, grainy screen, and the CCFL backlit display (modern laptops use LED backlit displays).
So here comes the GX660 with a thumping config which is again hard to beat. For 1300$, you get the performance of a 2000$ alienware.
