    I haven't heard much about this laptop here. It has some pretty awesome specs for its size.

    GenTech PC - MSI GE60-0N-006US 15.6 inch with nVidia GT650M

    15.6" with 1920x1080 resolution AND a GT 650M (And Ivy Bridge of course :D)

    I'm very interested in getting this but I'm afraid of potential temperature problems as I've heard similar earlier models tend to overheat.

    With the new Ivy Bridge and Kepler architecture we should see lower temps on these models. Until they are actually shipping (ETA April 29th) and people can get their hands on them to check temps we wont know for sure. But since this model isnt designed to be one of their gaming models the chassis and cooling system wont be as good as their gaming models like the GT60.

    How mobile would you say this laptop is? Does it feel small?

    I can't find any video reviews for the life of me
