Looking to game well, but not for $2,000 dollars? Well the PowerPro R 12:17 might be for you. Bought it with OS for ~ $1,400. Not bad. Enjoy this unboxing/review video. Sorry for the glare.

* SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE, BUT THIS LAPTOP IS THE BAREBONE OF THE MSI 780DX NOT THE 780R. THANKS.

The MSI GT780R just came in! We were excited to open the box and try out the unit. This is one of the few laptops we have seen that has a matte screen in a long time and we were happy to see the Dynaudio and dual exhaust features be carried over from the MSI GT683R as they were both features we really liked on the 15″ version of this laptop.

The Geforce GTX560M is a very capable gpu and the Intel Core i7 2630QM is a extremely strong mobile processor. Top it off with 1TB of HDD and 16GB of RAM and you really have a fully loaded package here for a good price.

The illuminated keyboard gives you an extra layer of customization and personalization and a good alternative to more expensive Alienware laptops if you really wanted that color led lit keyboard. Infact the Steelseries keyboard is better than that you can find on Alienware so this is a step forward.

Well just check out the video for all the other information you may want, remember you can find more videos posted to the product page @ GentechPC.com and if you have more questions post here on our video or go visit our forums.
