MSi GX730

 The MSi GX730 is a mid-range gaming laptop with a 17" screen and 320GB hard drive. Its 2.0GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core processor, 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 GPU, and 4 GB of RAM should enable strong performance with most games released in 2009.

The GX730 also supports DirectX 10 and advanced multi-threading for more efficient processing. For music and movies, it features four built-in speakers and a subwoofer, and 7.1-channel output via HDMI. A unique feature of the GX730 is 'Turbo Drive', a button above the keyboard which temporarily improves performance by overclocking the CPU. At over 7 lbs, the GX730 is not highly portable, but Bluetooth is built in. Other features include a memory card reader and 2.0MP webcam.
