I've been looking at buying a semi high performance laptop, used for light gaming, and general day to day PC use. I have more or less narrowed it down to the MSI GE60 series... It's one of the lighter weight laptops in it's class, has full 1080P display , and also a GTX 660M GPU...
I started looking for them, at various places, and came across a oddity at newegg.. They list two models "GE60 0ND-666US" and the "GE60 0ND-257US", where the only differences in the specs, seem to be the operating system... and possibly what is very likely a typo on the GPU... The 666US apparently comes with Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit), and the 257US has Windows 8 (64bit).
Now, the only other spec that seems to be different , other then the OS, is the GPU... in the 666US, newegg lists the graphics card as a "GT 660M", where on the 257US they list the graphics card as a "GTX 660M". Now, from what I can tell, there is no such thing as a "GT 660M"... and, it seems that Newegg , is the only retailer that lists the MSI GE60 0ND-666US model at all...
Can anyone, shed any light on any of this...
I'm also curious , if anyone can tell me why I would want Windows 8, rather then Windows 7... I've tried Windows 8 and I really don't like it much.
Oh, and the MSI GE60 0ND-666US is about $100 cheaper then the GE60 0ND-257US...
