Call it the attack of the awesome Ivy.MSI's GT60 is one of the first notebooks to hit the market with Intel's third generation Ivy Bridge processor.Combine that with a vibrant 1080p display,good audio quality, and a powerful Nvidia GPU and you have got a recipe for hours of questing, grinding and saving the day at a rather affordable price. MSI GT60 (www.laptopmag.com) Design The GT60 isn't as pretty as say, the Alienware M17x, but it's still a handsome piece of machinery.While we loved the lid's central panel of black brushed aluminum with a backlit MSI logo,we're not fans of the wide strips of plastic lining the slides and bottom.However...
