Within the last 24 hours or so a spec sheet seems to have started doing its rounds in regards to this laptop’s technical specifications, nothing has been confirmed by the guys at MSI just yet, however none-the-less we thought we would tell you what the rumors are stating. For now don’t take the following specs too seriously, but with that said we very much doubt they will turn out to be too inaccurate as Notebook Italia tend to be pretty much spot on with their leaks.

We are led to believe that the 2012 MSI GT780 GX will comes with a 17.3-inch display which outputs at 1600 x 900 pixels as standard, however there will be an optional upgrade to a Full HD display (1920 x 1080) if you prefer. As for performance hardware we’re told that it will utilize the Intel Core i7-2920XM Extreme Edition processor (CPU spec sheet here), 16GB of DDR3 RAM and GeForce GTX570M graphics – this graphics card features 3GB of dedicated DDR5 RAM on it.

Other specs / features worth checking out include its THX sound, two storage drive bays, its Steelseries gaming keyboard and its 9-cell battery – unsurprisingly these impressive specifications take its toll on the weight of the MSI GT780 GX and we’re told it will weigh 3.85kg. Something else which is a major factor in the laptop’s weight is its cooling system, this laptop utilizes a Cooler Boost heatsink which should keep things running pretty ‘cool’ even when Intel’s Turbo Boost feature pushes the processor’s fours cores to over 4.16GHz.

Interestingly Intel’s official website says that the Core i7 Extreme Edition 2920XM runs at up to 3.5 GHz with Turbo Boost – so we’re not sure what to make of the rumored 4.16GHz clock speeds – but that’s not too important, at the end of the day as either way you look at it, it’s going to be fast.

The two storage bays will be great for those of you who want fast SSD read / write times and the storage capacity of standard hard disk drives in unison, the price of solid-state drives is still high so perhaps people will opt for a low-capacity SSD in conjunction with a large HHD – that’s what we’d do anyway.

Hopefully we will find out more about this intriguing laptop pretty soon, when we can confirm / refute the specs and features mentioned in this brief article we = will keep you posted. Our biggest concerns at present are its potential price and how long it will run from a single charge.

How much gaming time do you expect from a single charge these days?

Let’s start by outlining what is exactly the same about these two models, they both feature the Intel Core i7-2630QM processor which is a 2nd-gen quad-core processor with 2.00GHz cores, 1TB of storage (via 2 x 500GB HDDs), the Intel HM67 chipset, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570M graphics (1.5GB GDDR5), Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi b/g/n, a multicard reader, headphone and microphone jack sockets, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x USB 3.0 ports, HDMI-out 1.4, a 720p HD Webcam, Dynaudio “Premium Sound” speakers, a 9 cell battery, single touch touchpad and a 103 key keyboard.

The images above give us a glimpse at the laptop’s design, we think that it has the look of a robust gaming laptop – obviously it is thicker than non-gaming laptops, but let’s face it there is some serious performance hardware hidden within its shell – also we like the quick launch touch sensors which are situated above the well laid-out QWERTY keyboard – these sensors let you turn on things such as Turbo, Cooler Boost, WLAN, ECO Engine and much more – you can find out more about all of the function keys etc here.

In terms of price you are looking at $1,849.99 for the MSI GT683DXR-427US or $1,699.99 for the GT683DXR-423US – what do you think of these prices?
