    MSI Launches GT72S Gaming Laptop with Tobii Vison Tracking

    The future of gaming is here, and it’s amazing! Case in point, the GT72S Tobii from the stables of MSI is as cool, as gaming laptops can be. Using Tobii eye tracking hardware, this laptop lets you control games with just your eyes. For all you non-believers out there, this tech is more than just a gimmick, and comes in handy while playing games and even while logging into Windows 10.

    Three infrared sensors placed behind the laptop’s display, track the users eye movements and translate them into inputs. What this would mean in a First Person Shooter like Batllefield, or Counter Strike will be aiming at a target just by looking at them, or aiming at a location in strategy games. This laptop could also be a natural for Racing games such as Project Cars, and Dirt.

    tobii msi

    The setup of this alien tech is surprisingly simple. A small calibration test is all it takes to get the hardware acquainted with the users sight. Tobii also helps your laptop to do basics tasks such as recognize when you’re sitting in front of the computer and tie it to Window’s screen dimming and sleep times.

    This Gaming Laptop also comes equipped with a 2.9GHz Intel Core i7-6820K processor, and unlike the GT72S Dragon only sports a Nvidia GTX 980M GPU. It will feature 8GBs of DDR5 VRAM. Other specs include 32GB of DDR4 RAM, plus a 256GB SSD with another 1TB HDD.

    This piece of fancy tech can be yours for a meagre sum of $3600 ( Approx Rs 2,50,000) so yeah, better start saving up.

    Power is the name of the game
    Intel 2nd generation Core i7 quad core CPU: The GE620DX features the latest Core i7-2630QM quad core processor with core speeds of 2.00GHz. The new generation Intel Core i7 processor supports Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and Quick Sync Video. Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0 greatly enhances performance in each core, automatically allocating processor resources to boost core clock speeds and overall computer performance, while Quick Sync Video revs up efficiency when ripping, synchronizing, and editing multimedia files.

    nVidia’s high end GeForce GT 555M discrete graphics card: The GE620DX packs nVidia’s new generation GeForce GT 555M discrete graphics card with 2GB of display memory. The nVidia PhysX technology offers the serious gamer some seriously realistic visuals. In addition, the GE620DX supports DirectX 11 for higher resolution, allowing you to see, for example, details of distant buildings for more realistic gaming.

    GPU Boost: The GE620DX laptop supports MSI GPU Boost technology which automatically switches back and forth between the discrete graphics card and the graphics chip. When your computer is processing graphics-heavy applications, it automatically kicks into the discrete graphics card mode to give you superior graphics processing capabilities and when performing general word processing tasks or browsing the Internet, it cuts to the power-sipping integrated graphics chip mode, striking the ideal balance between performance and battery life.

    Realistic multimedia experience
    Top cinema-grade sound: The GE620DX comes with MSI’s Premium Sound to meet the need of even the most demanding audiophiles for crisp, clean sound. Now, you can experience sounds like you’ve never heard them before in an NB computer. The GE620DX also comes with THX TruStudio Pro smart surround sound technology previously found only in cinemas, which when coupled with its top-end internal speakers, reproduces any music type or frequency faithfully.

    Cinema Pro technology: The GE620DX features powerful multimedia processing and MSI’s own Cinema Pro technology for superior graphics. One touch of the Cinema Pro hotkey instantly switches you to film mode for higher resolution and richer colors.

    Full array of HD hardware: The MSI GE620DX sports a 720p webcam to give you high definition, smooth, bright pictures when video conferencing with friends and family. If you want something bigger than a high definition computer screen to view films, it comes with an HDMI port, so any type of high-fidelity, high-definition video can be played on your NB, but viewed via a cable on a large-screen LCD TV.

    Designed with you in mind
    USB3.0: The GE620DX comes with new USB3.0 ports which boast transfer speeds of 4.8Gbps-10 times faster than USB2.0, and 80% higher power transmission, providing vastly higher data transfer rates and charging speeds for external hard drives, flash drives, and other handheld electronic devices.

    Shortcuts to shut off power to idle hardware: Located above the GE620DX’ keyboard are six shortcuts. With one click of the mouse, you can eject a DVD, turn off the screen, or turn on the S-Bar, Turbo Battery+, Cinema Pro, or power, so don’t waste battery power when you’re away from your computer for a few minutes.

    MSI S-Bar: Just one click of the GE620DX’ S-Bar hotkey calls up all functions onto the screen, so you can control everything from the webcam, projector, network, and Bluetooth to volume control, screen brightness, and standby mode.[/toggle]

    Welcome to iGyaanTV our new channel is dedicated to bringing a totally new perspective to the Technology circuit in India. With interviews with key execs in India, we will also bring you contests and giveaways. So be sure you subscribe to iGyaanTV on Youtube.  

     

    We had a wonderful chance to sit with MSI India Chief Mr. Eric Kuo ( He is General Manager for India and Executive V.P. for Global Sales, MSI)

    Of course, we had a lot to ask about MSI and their business in India, we stuck to a few questions that could summarize the whole outlook.

    Mr. Kuo told us that MSI since its 5 years in India has become the top most company for motherboards an VGA cards (graphics cards), They recently added notebooks to their line up and currently stand at number 6 or number 7  in the lineup of notebook manufacturers in India. Their goal is to reach top 3, but currently are focused on the top 5 mark.

    Mr. Kuo also told us exclusively that the MSI WindPad will be launched in end of July and beginning of August this year. Pricing he said would be based on the currently available models and their features in comparison to the WindPad.

    The MSI tablet Price in India is going to be a Good Price” Said Mr. Kuo

    For X Slim vs Macbook Air and other super slip laptops he said that , MSI is constantly upgrading its portfolio and a new variant of the X-Slim Series should be out by the End of this Year. 

    Wind-Top or the All in One PC , was being considered and later dropped as an idea for the Indian market, simply because MSI feels that they need to build up reputation as a computer manufacturer within notebooks and Tablets before considering other electronic items. 

    We sprung him a surprise when we asked about the existence of an MSI PHONE, He laughed and replied

    Anything can happen at MSI, We have already considered this option two years ago, and have a couple of units at our headquarters which are  prototypes. A Mobile device requires a completely different strategy, we may not be ready for it yet”
