    Good news, MSI is making GT70 with 675MX/670MX. And they are ready for preorder from GentechPC. Pretty good price too. $500 less than the one with 680M :)

    $1799 for this one (675MX) :)

    MSI is also making a new GT70 with a brand new look, they call it the "Dragon Edition". It`s shipped with the GTX 675MX.

    I think its overpriced 2200euros??(for gtx675mx?)
    You can choose with gtx680m with 200 more,but its worth it.

    To think I had a chance at affording this, HA! That does seem pricy though, but don't MSI's sell for less money in America than they do in other parts in the world? I bet they could get away with selling it for $1700-$1800 and still roll in profit.

    I`m not shure but it says "limited edition" so I guess there is only a certain systems made with this design, so its a little exlusive perhaps hence the high price?

    I`m shure we will see a normal version with the 675MX soon :)

    Rabook just announced their barebone of the GT60. It features the GTX 670MX.

    IDK... looks kinda chintzy to me... that's A LOT of primary red! But maybe the high res photos will show off its class a little more. I see the potential for that dragon on the back to look really classy, depending how it was done...

    Quite a nice price on the 1799 dollar one. It's a shame there won't be an upgrade to the 15 inch models though :/.

    They said 15.6" already have GTX675MX SKU.


    They don't have plan for barebones either. :eek:

    Once the Fermi GTX675M and GTX670M stock is gone every model will have Kepler GT675MX and GTX670MX GPUs.

    I doubt NVIDIA will continue to produce both especially if the Kepler lineup is cheaper to manufacture

    Notebookcheck says the GTX680MX is intended for the Apple iMac but who knows if,when and where it also will appear.

    Try turning on turbo mode when you overclock.
