MSI Computer today announced the latest addition to its gaming notebook series, the GX630-028US. Specs are pretty decent albeit nothing to write home about, but the truly impressive attribute of this newest notebook is that it costs only $799.99. It’s powered by an AMD Athlon X2 processor and features an NVIDIA GeForce 9600M graphics chipset, 250GB hard drive, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel webcam and a 15.4-inch WXGA glare LCD.


It also uses the same Turbo Drive engine technology as other MSI gaming notebooks, letting users overclock their processors by up to 15 percent, and the MSI ECO Engine which allows users to alternate between 5 different operating modes to conserve battery life. All in all the GX630-028US seems like a good choice for the budget minded this holiday season, offering great functionality and looks at a competitive price – MSI might have a winner here.
