The GT740 runs on Microsoft's new Windows 7 operating system and uses the latest-generation Intel Core i7 processor. The high grade nVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M 3D discrete graphics card (DDR3 1 GB VRAM), and the GT740's outstanding software specifications provide gamers with highly efficient operations and the world's strongest gaming notebook computer.
Through a complete hardware evolution, the GT740 offers Intel's advanced Intel Hyper-Threading technology, which gives its quad core processor the ultimate in processing power.

Ground Shaking Audio/Video Experience
The GT740 features a 17" cinema display along with a new generation of hardware and software. The keyboard area and frame each features 2 Hi-Fi 3D speakers and a lower-unit mounted bass speaker. All together, this total 5 speaker Hi-Fi set up is designed to provide ultimate performance in audio and video applications and allow gamers enjoy a ground shaking experience.

The GT740's 5 high performance Hi-Fi speakers incorporate SRS Premium Sound quality.

Fiery Gaming Aesthetics
The ultra-thin aluminum alloy frame with brushed metal accents allows the 17" GT740 to weigh in at a mere 3.2 kg including battery. Fiery red frame accents contrast the cold feeling of the notebook's technological interface and give the MSI G Series notebooks the feeling of movement while standing still-an appearance that defines gaming aesthetics.
The GT740 keyboard area's 2 Hi-Fi 3D speakers with polished metal detailing create a futuristic look and stand out from the understated functional keys below the touch pad.

At the same time, the GT740's 802.11 b/g/n wireless provides diverse, high-speed network functionality, freeing gamers from the tangled experiences of being tethered to wired networks and creating unlimited opportunities for the gaming world.

The GT740 continues to uphold the MSI G Series' reputation for excellence.

I didn't notice this before but did anyone notice that the GTS250M is similar to a 8800GS(probably slower)

look at it
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_gts_250m_us.html

but nvidia says its 50% faster than previous generations on the first line

O.O

after searching it seems like there are 2 versions, the GDDR3 version and GDDR5(unreleased) version, the difference might not seem like much but the GDDR5 version has 16 rops, and the GDDR3 version has 8, making the performance difference pretty big.

Yea the GDDR3 and 5 versions are radically different. Should be different models completely.

Somebody's hatin'.....

I say fabulous. I hate small laptops and loathe netbooks (more useless than tits on a boar).

I think screens smaller than 15.4 should be banned.
