Exceptional multimedia and processing performance
ATI Radeon HD5730 discrete graphics card (with 1GB DDR3 VRAM)：The GE700 is equipped with the ATI Radeon HD5730 discrete graphics card with 1GB DDR3 display memory for superior display performance and lower power consumption. It also supports DirectX 11 for outstanding 3D graphic effects.
All new 2010 Intel® Core™ Processor：The MSI GE700 comes with Intel’s powerful, energy-sipping Core i5 processor with Intel Turbo Boost and Intel® Hyper-Threading technology for dynamic enhanced processing efficiency. It handles more data and greatly enhances overall system performance.
All new style goes high tech
High tech black and silver body：The GE700’s all new high tech exterior comes with MSI’s own color film print technology. The cover has a bright jet black coating, while the area below the keyboard has a layered silver brushed finish. The blending of silver and black gives the GE700 a distinctively high tech feel.
Luminescent Touch Hotkeys：The GE700 continues the MSI gaming notebook tradition of high tech style. Above the keyboard is a unique luminescent touch hotkeys strip with fire-engine red shortcut keys, including GPU Boost, Cinema Pro, and Multimedia Control, are arranged systematically to highlight the GE700’s speed.
Flexible performance to maximize battery time
