Although this is not an IPS display, we found that it offered good viewing angles and colors were sufficiently brilliant. On the flip side of the lid is 14-inch HD+ matte display that has a native resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels. Although a little gimmicky, this little design cue does breath some life into an otherwise uninteresting-looking notebook. On the lid are two slits of perforated holes that light up to look like the eyes of a dragon when the notebook is turned on. The MSI GE40 is so- called because of the special deisgn on its lid. Here's a video preview to whet your appetite:. Considering that under the hood of this 14-inch notebook is also NVIDIA’s latest GeForce GTX 760M GPU, two 64GB mSATA SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration and a 750GB HDD, this is a pretty impressive achievement. Thanks to the processor’s relatively low TDP (for a quad-core processor), MSI has managed to cram it into a body that is just 29mm thick at its thickest point and weighs just 1.9kg. This is a fairly high-end processor that runs at 2.2GHz, supports Hyper-Threading and has a large 6MB 元 cache with integrated Intel HD 4600 Graphics.
Specifically, the notebook is powered by the new Core i7-4702MQ processor, which has a TDP of 37W, making it Intel’s lowest TDP quad-core mobile processor.
WHY ISNT DRAGON EYE WORKING MSI SERIES
Which brings us nicely to the new MSI GE40 2OC Dragon Eyes (henceforth known simply as MSI GE40), which is part of MSI’s G-series gaming series and has Intel’s latest fourth generation Core processor under its hood. This is exactly the change that's happening right now with products like convertible and hybrid Ultrabooks and ultra-slim gaming notebooks. All this means you stand to get slimmer and lighter notebook. Also with more efficient components, notebook manufacturers need not integrate large batteries into their machines.
If a new notebook boasts a lower TDP than a previous generation, it means that the notebook does not have to dissipate that much heat (thanks to more efficient components) and it can do with simpler heatsinks and lesser fans (or even no fans in some cases). TDP is important in a notebook design because it refers to the maximum amount of heat the cooling system in the notebook would need to dissipate. Crucially, more efficient processors means more performance at a given TDP (thermal design power). And this has had a major effect on notebooks design and specifications. With each passing generation, processors have become more power efficient.
