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.

The firm lumps both of these solutions into its new “freedom to play” line of accessories — and though both of them echo products we’ve seen before, these peripherals play their roles exceedingly well.

The duo takes aim at those who seek a serviceable mouse without the customization that the original Sensei’s 32-bit ARM processor affords. Glossy and rubberized anti-sweat variants both feature a 6.5-foot braided cord, CPI toggle for on-the-fly tweaks, three zones of custom LEDs, a pro-grade laser senor and programmable controls / sensitivity.
