Because the Thinkpad has become pretty standard across the board, you still get the Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.26 GHz, and the non-too shabby NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS graphics setup for lighter, old-school gaming. But, what you don’t
In a recent news roundup from The Week, the magazine cited the New York Times, saying that President-Elect Barack Obama would be the first president in U.S. history to have a laptop n his Oval Office desk.

Obviously, just by looking at it, you can see that the 7811FX fits right in with any number of current laptops in the design category. The orange piping is like totally right now. (Sorry.) But beyond looks, who are the specs on this $1,499 laptop?

MSI has made some fantastic notebooks, no one can deny that. For instance, the MSI Wind has been one of the most talked about netbooks out there. But when it comes to gaming machines, the Laptop Pimp was wondering how MSI stacks up.
For that reason, I wanted to take a look at the MSI GX720, just one of a number of gaming setups from MSI.
For starters, the GX720 looks great. The red-orange accents really
