    Interesting but there's a severe lack of detail in that article.

    "Over 10000 points in 3Dmark"
    Not so impressive if it's 05 :p

    Some concrete specs and price would be nice :)

    Price and specification is already finalized, all we're waiting on is the notebook itself. Assuming MSI isn't cheating in 3Dmark with a lower resolution or changing the default benchmark settings, being able to hit 10k with the GT725 is looking to be very promising about its gaming performance.

    I'm quite intrigued by the GX420. If it carries over most of the specification from the GX400, it's quite a little 14" gaming beast.

    most likely they're talking about 3dmark06

    Don't know about vantage, but it would probably score around 5000 in the GPU benchmark and P5000+ overall seeing as it's pretty much a downclocked desktop 4850.

    Hmmm I'm guessing this means the new MSI models are somewhat near completion, at least enough to begin showcasing. Well here's hoping that they perform as well as everyone is hoping :)

    Any news on whether they're available or are they going to save these for the last day of CES?
