The MSI GE700 is an entertainment gaming monster, and its Intel Core i5 processor combined with a DirectX 11 supporting ATI Radeon HD GPU and cinema class audio promise to give the ultimate experience in multimedia entertainment.
The GE700 brings together power and energy efficiency with its Intel Core i5 processor at 2.66GHz on Intel’s HM55 chipset which incorporates Turbo Boost technology to offer a possible 3.2GHz of processing power. The company’s ECO engine offers a number of preset power management profiles (such as Video Game, Film, Presentation, Word Processing and Turbo Battery) that help balance system performance and the desire to get the most from the 6- or 9-cell battery.
