THE DEAL

What You're Getting

The MSI GX620-098US packs a 2.4 GHz Intel Penyrn Core 2 Duo P8600 processor with Centrino 2 mobile technology, 4 GB of RAM, and a 320 GB hard drive. Graphics are handled by an Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT with 512 MB of dedicated VRAM, paired with a 15.4-inch display featuring MSI vivid image enhancement.

Connectivity includes Draft-N Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n), Gigabit Ethernet, 3 USB ports, FireWire, HDMI, VGA, ExpressCard, and a 4-in-1 memory card reader. It ships with Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1 (64-bit).

Who This Is For

Best for: gamers looking for a dedicated discrete GPU setup in a laptop from this era, or anyone needing a capable Windows Vista-era machine with HDMI output and solid expandability. The 4 GB RAM ceiling and Core 2 Duo processor mean this is not for modern AAA gaming, but for period-appropriate titles, media playback, or retro gaming setups it fits the bill.

Final Verdict

At $999.99. This is a fair price for a well-equipped Centrino 2 laptop with dedicated Nvidia graphics and HDMI output. If you need a Vista-era gaming machine with solid build quality and expandable storage, the current discount makes it worth picking up now rather than waiting for a steeper drop.
