MSI unveil GX660 gaming laptop with "unparalleled" high-end sound

Got a spare £1,700 lying around? Then you might want to take a look at MSI’s top-end GX660 gaming laptop, which packs in enough high-tech audio gear to please even the most ardent of audiophiles.

At 15.6 inches in size, it’s a very capable bit of kit, with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 on graphics duties and an Intel Core i7-720QM processor that can be overclocked, 8GB of RAM, Blu-ray drive, two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports and 1TB of storage.

But it’s in the audio department where MSI are most proud of the GX660, working closely with audio specialists Dynaudio.

“Dynaudio have worked with MSI to meticulously place speakers inside the chassis to provide users with the finest audio experience. MSI and Dynaudio have designed high quality speaker units as well as an optimal sound card circuit based on speaker and system configuration,” says the MSI release.

“Over 1,200 hours went into testing and tweaking each frequency to obtain ideal tone and balance for crisp, clean sound at all frequency levels. MSI has also added Surround Sensation|UltraPC technology from DTS to help fulfil the virtual surround sound experience either from the built-in Dynaudio speakers or through a set of stereo headphones.”
