MSI is now targeting niche markets with their latest laptop line-ups. Recently you saw MSI release the GT Series which is a high-end, high-powered laptop series for creative pros who need portability. Starting at $2000 they were not the most cost-effective portable workstations. MSI has a solution for that with a middle ground GP Series that’s a hybrid between portable workstation and gaming laptop.
The MSI GP Series still has a lot of power at its core with an Intel Core i7 or i5 Haswell processor, Nvidia GT740M, and 8 GB DDR3 RAM. You will also find many of the same high-end features from the GT Series such as the SteelSeries gaming keyboard, Sound Blaster Cinema audio, and either 17 or 16 inch display. The GP Series comes with up to a 1 TB mechanical HDD, ASW-NB1114H Gigabit Ethernet/Bluetooth combo card, but unfortunately, no back-lighting, which was cut to save you money.
While it is not the full on powerhouse represented by the MSI GT Series is, the GP Series has one thing going for it which is the price. Starting at an MSRP of $899.99US (up to $1049.99 US) the GP Series is a much more affordable laptop for those who need mobile productivity on a budget. You can find the GP60 and GP70 on sale right now at all major e-tailers. More details at the press release below.
