CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – January 26, 2009 – MSI Computer, a leading manufacturer
of computer hardware products and solutions, is pleased to announce the newest addition
to its Gaming Notebook Series – GT627. The new GT627 is
the first in the MSI Gaming
Notebook series to feature
the NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS graphics processing unit
(GPU). This revolutionary GPU delivers blazing-fast mobile gaming and supports NVIDIA
CUDA™ technology enabling MSI customers to experience the wide range of CUDA-based
applications—such as heart-stopping GPU-accelerated game physics and video conversion.
The GeForce 9800M GS also saves power and increases computing efficiently by handling
video decoding, allowing the CPU to focus on other tasks.
"We are excited to offer the NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS GPU in the GT627 Gaming Notebooks,
" said Andy Tung, Vice President of Sales, MSI US. “This GPU will allow us optimize
performance and deliver unparalleled graphics for gamers on-the-go."
"Whether viewing or editing photos, finding directions, playing a game, or watching
a hi-def movie, the MSI GT627 with the NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GS GPU runs silky
smooth, with amazing visuals," said Rene Haas, General Manager of the notebook business
unit at NVIDIA. " With the GeForce 9800M GS handling the graphics, video and physics
acceleration, MSI customers will be ready for the visual computing movement.”
MSI has also equipped the GT627 with a spacious 15.4” WSXGA (1680x1050) LCD, 2W
internal speakers, and weight cartridge laser mouse to enhance the mobile gaming
experience. The GT627 also features MSI’s proprietary Turbo Drive Engine, which
can overclock the notebook’s Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (Penryn, FSB 1066) by as
much as 15% at the touch of a button when in AC mode. When on the go, users can
conserve the GT627’s battery by taking advantage of the MSI’s Eco Engine technology
to switch between five power settings to ensure efficient power consumption.
MSI housed the powerful GT627 in its stylish anodized brushed aluminum gaming case.
This solid enclosure features stamped aluminum sheeting in both the LCD lid and
palm rest for increased protection and durability. However, despite the reinforced
casing and a 6-cell battery, the GT627 weighs just over six pounds making it one
of the most portable gaming notebooks in its class. Additionally, MSI also included
an 802.11 b/g/n wireless modem and a Blu-ray player to make it a true mobile entertainment
center.
