“Provides 17” gaming notebook performance in a 15” package with excellent low starting price of $1,149, useful Turbo feature that overclocks the system and very quick hard drive” – (Notebook Review, 2009)
“A laptop with bright, colorful display; great gaming performance for the price and good 2-MP webcam but is cramped has a poorly designed keyboard, a touchpad too close to keyboard and display resolution too low for gaming” – (Laptop Mag, 2009)
“The rewards of the MSI GT627 far outweigh the imperfections with this price point by providing gamers with an affordable mobile gaming solution with Nvidia graphics card, as well as support other mediaphile functions with its features like the ATSC tuner, HDMI, and eSATA ports” .- (PC Mag, 2009)
