MSI now shipping hardcore Windows 10 gaming laptops

Today is the day! Windows 10, baby -- woo! Expect to hear lots of announcements from PC manufacturers regarding new computers running Microsoft's new operating system. Yesterday, for example, Acer announced an entire line of Windows 10 computers for home and education.

What about hardcore gamers though? Windows 10 ushers in the DirectX 12 era for PC gaming, so surely some consumers will want hardcore gaming machines. Not to worry; today, MSI announces all-new gaming laptops featuring high-end specs and Nvidia graphics. Will you open your wallet to MSI?

"Designed to deliver an amazing user experience, Windows 10 re-imagines a classic by incorporating an array of new features that enhances gaming performance, including more realistic visuals using DirectX 12.  Windows 10 also enables PC and console gamers to battle in multiplayer games at the same time; stream games from a console to a PC; and easily record, edit and share videos with GameDVR. Gamers can now experience the superior performance of Windows 10 without updates or downloads on MSI’s GT72 Dominator with G-Sync technology, GE72 Apache and GE62 Apache gaming notebooks", says MSI.

Andy Tung, president of MSI Pan America explains, "Windows 10 takes gaming to the next level by enhancing the experience and seamlessly integrating console and PC gaming. MSI provides gamers with the best and newest, and are proud to be the first to carry gaming notebooks with Windows 10 installed, also powered by the latest Intel 5th gen Core i7 processors".

The manufacturer shares the following specs and prices.

As you can see, all of these gaming laptops have great specifications including Core i7 processors, but it is the GT72 models that are most exciting. These higher-end models feature cutting edge technology such as USB 3.1 and G-Sync. The 9-cell battery will provide plenty of juice for portable gaming sessions, and the integrated subwoofer should offer rumbling bass.

Of course, the high price tags will keep these out of reach for the average user, but that is a good thing -- they are overkill for most. If you are a gamer, however, money is likely no object when it comes to quality hardware.

Will you buy one of these new MSI gaming laptops? If so, which one? Tell me in the comments.
