MSI is reportedly now shipping its sleek GT660 gaming notebook in North America. The device originally made its debut at CeBit 2010 back in January and then hit the market overseas a month later. What makes this particular notebook unique is that it's supposedly the only one to sport a sound system designed by Dynaudio--it even includes a subwoofer.
As we reported last month, the GT660 comes packed with a 16-inch, 720p native display, an Intel Core i7-740QM 1.73 GHz processor, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 285M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM, up to 12GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 1TB of 7,200 RPM HDD storage.
Additionally, the new GT660 notebook provides 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and an HDMI output, a 9-cell battery, gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi. There's also a built-in webcam that can capture your fragging defeat in 720p glory.
Right now two models are available: a base version with a 500GB HDD and a dual-layer DVD burner, and a higher-end model sporting a 1TB HDD and a Blu-ray drive. Both models also sport Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and accelerated CPU + GPU performance with MSI's TDE Technology.
MSI lists the GT660R-004US at $1,849.99, however Amazon.com is showing the GT660R-003 with a $1,499.99 price tag.
