MSI, known for their gaming laptops released their refreshed line of gaming laptops in the capital city of New Delhi on April 17, 2018. These new laptops come powered by the all new 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processors. While the SKU update was the major highlight of the event, the company has also released these new laptops for a lesser amount than their previous gen equivalents. The new range of laptops can be pre-ordered on Flipkart, Paytm and other authorised sellers and the stocks should be available by the end of April, 2018.
While the entire range of MSI gaming laptops now come equipped with the new 8th Gen Intel CPUs, there were three major models present at the event - GT75 Titan, GS65 Stealth Thin and GE73 Raider RGB. All the laptops get a new and improved Dragon Center 2 and the laptops which had Cooler Boost 4 technology have been upgraded to Cooler Boost 5. Furthermore, the new GP and GL series of laptops have a new and improved look.
Amongst the three laptops, the GS65 Stealth Thin was the star attraction as its design philosophy is quite different from what people have come to expect from MSI. It gets a clean and simple look with a dark matte finish and a golden border on the cover and on the trackpad, which gives it a very premium and elegant touch. Despite its subtle looks, the GS65 pack quite a lot of power. The GS65 Stealth Thin is the world's first 144HZ IPS display with a 7ms response time and 4.9mm bezels. It gets a Core i7 8750H, 6 core 12 thread CPU paired with a GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 Max-Q graphics card. The 82pc screen to body ration has allowed the company to fit a 15.6 inch display in a relatively small footprint. There are 2 8GB DDR4 200MHz RAM sticks that can be expanded up to 64GB. For storage there are two NVMe SSDs that proved 512GB of storage space but there is no HDD. The company claims that the laptop can last 8+ hours without charging. The GS65 8RF model on display costs Rs 1,89,990.
The biggest and most powerful of the three was the GT75 Titan. This beefy laptop also gets the same i7 8750H CPU but it packs a much more powerful GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5 GPU. MSI has fitted this laptop with 2x16GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM sticks and there is space for two more sticks for a total of up to 64GB. There is also a variant of this laptop that comes with an unlocked Core i9 8950H processor. The display panel on the model that was on show was a 17.3 inch UHD panle with a 60Hz refresh rate. You can also opt for a 1080p panel that can do 120Hz with a 3ms response time. The Rapid Mechanical RGB keyboard provides for a satisfying typing experience with the keys behaving much like Cherry MX Blue keys. To cool all the beefy hardware is Cooler Boost Titan system which has 10 heat pipes and 2 fans which throw out hot air from four large vents. The core i7 model with 4K display costs Rs 2,99,990.
The GE73 Raider RGB is a refresh of the previous model with a few key changes. These include the new i7 CPU paired with a GTX 1070 GPU and the obvious inclusion of more RGB lighting. The new GE73 Raider RGB gets 24 zone lighting on its cover that can be easily customised like the per-key RGB keyboard. You also get a red colour light flooding from the USB 3.0 ports for easier access and you can turn these off as well. The rest of the specs include 16GB of DDR4 2400MHz memory, 2x256GB NVMe SSDs in Raid0 and 1080p TN panel with 120Hz refresh rate. It also gets Killer Double Shot pro networking like the other two laptops.The MSI GE73 8RF model costs Rs 1,79,990.
Apart from launching the new laptops, MSI has also strengthened their service centre network by expanding it over to 32 cities and will open an exlusive store in Pune and Maharashtra.
