MSI’s latest mini-ITX motherboard ‘Z77IA-E53′ is finally making its way to Japan. This mini-ITX motherboard will hit Japan on October 6th via Links International for around 14,980 Yen (about $190). Based on Intel Z77 Express Chipset, the Z77IA-E53 supports for Intel LGA1155 processors and features two DDR3 DIMM memory slots (up to 16GB RAM) and one PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot. It also comes with a number of connectivity ports including two SATA 6.0 Gbps, two SATA 3.0 Gbps, one mSATA, four USB 3.0, six USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet. [Product Page]

We can’t say that there’s a huge cross-section of buyers who want a gaming laptop but refuse to touch Intel components. Whatever the size, MSI likely has that group sewn up with the official unveiling of the GX60 following a stealth appearance at Computex. The 15.6-inch portable is built as showcase for AMD’s latest mobile technology: it revolves around a 2.3GHz, quad-core A10-4600M processor using the Piledriver architecture as well as a Radeon HD 7970M to feed its 1080p screen at full speed. Thankfully, the PC is more than just a marketing vehicle and carries some of the gamer-tuned parts that we’ve seen in other MSI rigs, such as dual SSDs in a RAID stripe, a low-lag Killer networking chipset and a heavy-duty SteelSeries keyboard. Buying a GX60 may prove to be the real obstacle — in keeping with most MSI introductions, there’s no mention of a price or ship date, and none of the usual suspects have it in stock as of this writing.
