Manual of product Gaming GT60
Editorial note
The MSI Gaming GT60 stands out for its powerful performance, thanks to an Intel® Core™ i7-4710MQ processor, offering a base frequency of 2.5 GHz and a Turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz. This allows for efficient management of demanding tasks, whether for gaming or multimedia applications. The 15.6-inch 4K Ultra HD display, with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, ensures exceptional display quality, making games and videos particularly immersive. In terms of storage, the GT60 offers a hybrid capacity of 1128 Go, combining an HDD and an SSD, which allows for quick access to data while providing ample space for files and applications. Additionally, the high-quality stereo audio system, equipped with Dynaudio speakers and a built-in subwoofer, ensures an immersive sound experience. However, this model has some drawbacks. Weighing 3500 g, it may be impractical to carry for daily use. Furthermore, the lack of a touchscreen may disappoint some users looking for a more interactive interface. With battery life not specified, it is worth noting that gaming laptops often have limited battery life, which can be restrictive during travel. Finally, although connectivity is advanced with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0 options, the lack of recent USB 3.2 and HDMI ports may limit compatibility with modern accessories. The absence of support for 3D technology may also not suit all users seeking an even more immersive visual experience. In summary, the MSI Gaming GT60 is a high-performance laptop suitable for gamers and professionals, but its weight and battery life could restrict its use during frequent travel.Score details
