    Yeah Man , You Are Right :)

    But they put the wrong label on the laptop , I used Google translate from Russian to English and that is what they said about that:

    At the working surface of a laptop, you can see two labels - Intel Centrino 2, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT (512 MB), while in fact tested a laptop complete with GeForce 9300M GS. It is likely that the cause of errors that we have to deal with a test copy of MSI PX600.

    Hmmm, this one is very stylish and good for everyday computing, not gaming. Also the review of the Russians is very good. Very compleete. I think that MSI take the right way to concuer higher place on the market.

    Hmm, perhaps you could actually stick a 9600m GT in there? The box says its the same MS-1651 barebone, and the heatsink seems to be the same as the GX620s one. Or the different firmware wouldnt like it?

    Edit: But perhaps getting a GX620/normal MS-1651 and changing to this leather skin (if you can find 1) is cheaper

    For sure it'll be capable to put GF9600M inside. I can bet that both are MS-1651 with different GPUs. But as you say I think it'll be cheaper to put a leather skin of normal MS-1651.
