    GT72 Design Concept

    Inspired by the Super Car GT concept. Create a simple, elegant, speedy, but powerful look.

    In recent years, MSI has been dedicated to gaming laptops, and became the leading brand in the field. The most high-end product line– GT series has been on the market for over 3 years. This time, MSI disclosed the design concepts behind the new generation flagship of THE ULTIMATE GTX Gaming Notebook – GT72.

    As a professional gaming brand, MSI wants to combine the best elements from gaming and notebooks together. Since the product development phase, MSI wanted this flagship not only has the top specs, but also be an useful and enjoyable piece of art.

    When designing GT72, we outlined what it must have:
    1. Great design and durability
    2. Mobility that Notebooks CANNOT do without
    3. Maintainability and upgradability

    If GS60 is “smart”, then GT72’s goal is to become a “supercar”. It must be a desktop replacement, has excellent performance, and looks fashionable and cool, combining power and beauty together to make a great machine. When thinking about top gaming laptops, the size of monitor decides how good you feel. Therefore, 17” is still the way to go.

    Design is always difficult, because it is truly subjective. MSI has always been more conservative in terms of design, but this time it is different. Starting for the lid, GT72 mimics the look of an engine hood, with hairline texture, red side enhancement, and LED lighting. With stylish engine-hood lines, front LED lights, and back vent design, it is definitely a supercar in a notebook form.

    When you open the laptop, it has full back-lit SteelSeries gaming keyboard, with lighting underneath touchpad and fine quality no-boarder mouse area.

    The bottom side is clean and simple, with grid airway, allowing users to open up the bottom side for easy upgrade and maintenance.

    MSI and SteelSeries worked hard together to create even more responsive keyboard for GT72. There are 5 individual keys on the side of the keyboard that are useful for gamers. These keys can be used to turn on the laptop, switch graphic cards, make fans to turn at full speed, broadcast online, and switch between different keyboard settings.

    There are USBs are both sides, allows users to plug-in devices on either side of the laptop. Power, internet, and display ports are located at the back for easy connection.

    It’s a rare chance for us to be able to interview the designer of gaming laptops, and learn how difficult it is for a laptop to be born. We will have more news and secrets on the new flagship-GT72. Stay tuned!

    Welcome to NBR!
    I love the new updated design it was long over due, the new dual fans were a great idea.
    Do you represent MSI officially?
    You must thank -=$tR|k3r=- for being an ambassador for MSI, he was one of the first to get his GT72 and absoluty raves about it.
    Maybe you should send him some freebies ;)

    Oh my, another GT72 thread?

    Hmmmmmm, no, from what I am reading, most of this is yesterday's news, so I'm inclined to believe this is just an MSI fan..... but YES, Welcome to NBR! Also, I can't imagine an MSI rep promoting or hosting their images in such a way.

    Anyhow, why not join the discussion in The MSI GT72 Dominator Pro Owner's Lounge? HERE, you will find most anything you would like to know about this amazing notebook, and HERE, you will find 'Initial Thoughts', unboxing photos, and benchmark scores.

    Oh, and IKAS V, freebies are GOOD! (Thanks for the kind words! ;))

    :D

    I do like the fact that those five side keys are actually keys and not the capacitive keys they used to have. I wonder how much better the new steelseries keyboard is and if it is indeed any better than the current ones used. If I upgrade to this one I would miss my 3K IPS lol

    I agree, the capacitive keys were awful. The glossy touch panel was also really susceptible to dust.

    The current steelseries keyboard is already great, the best keys on the market as far I've tried :)

    Now due to smartphones being huge screens, there are days where I write stuff I can't even read afterwards!
