Dell will update the processor from an existing Core 2 Duo CPU up to Intel’s new Core 2 Quad Q8200, and offer discrete graphics in the form of Nvidia’s GeForce 9600M GT as well. Audio has also been refined with dual stereo speakers and subwoofer from JBL.

MSI’s GX600 Packs Turbo Power

MSI

The “turbo” button may have disappeared off most computer cases a decade ago, but MSI saw marketing value in that little bit of racy automotive lingo, and they’re bringing it back. The company’s newest gaming laptop, the GX600, comes with a turbo button that gives gamers a boost in power when activated.

MSI calls it Turbo Drive Engine (TDE) technology, and while it sounds like a silly gimmick, the silver button actually overclocks the CPU 20 percent when it’s turned on in AC mode. The company claims it cuts boot times to less than 40 seconds, while most notebooks take over a minute. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether you notice in your next game of Quake 4.
