Original design, also suitable for the living room, for the new proposal designed to the most demanding gamers MSI presented at CES 2016; no shortage of news, also at laptop, always for gamers.

And ever it is increasing attention of Taiwan’s MSI to the audience of gamers, and this is already evident by looking at the logo that the company uses as a bit of time now and that is clearly oriented to emphasize how the range product is developed for the needs of this specific audience.

At CES 2016 in Las Vegas, MSI proposes several innovations, with many notebook models that implement specific technical features for gaming. We report the model GT72S Tobii, the market debut at the end of January, which first implements the Tobii eye tracking system with which you can react to the characters and their surroundings according to their own look. This technology obviously requires compatibility with the game on use: For an updated list, see this page.

Another novelty is GS72 Stealth Pro, large notebook that combines a screen diagonal of 17 inches with a resolution panel of 4K, with the option of a screen of the same diagonal but lower resolution so as to favor the higher frames per second in the same configuration of the video subsystem.

The most interesting product in our opinion, MSI Vortex, a complete PC that in the face of very small size (total volume of just 6.5 liters) provides a high processing power for gamers combining Intel Core i7 6700K to two video cards NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 in SLI.

The result is an extremely powerful desktop gaming system, suitable for 4K configurations, that due to the design space is also within the context of the living room like a game console connected to your TV with a large screen.

The cool internal components see the use of technology Silent Storm, with a large-diameter fan that draws air from the bottom bringing it out from the top of the chassis. The construction components with custom allowed to cure with attention also operating noise, maintained at low levels even in the face of considerable computing power.

We had the opportunity to see live this system directly in the offices of MSI Taiwan last December is a very special product, certainly not for all users, but it offers an ideal combination of a compact design and original and requesting speed performance always at the top.
