A year too late.

A 680mx is approx= to a 580, so I'm assuming that a 670mx = 570.
Never going to be a good idea with laptop parts.

[Pleiades]

Meh. 1080 screen & 670? Casual gamers, not enthusiasts methinks...

Portable lan party machine maybe?

Portable lan party machine maybe?

This is true, shame the hardware is very lackluster, its a laptop in a different box which is a shame really.

So sick of 1080p, and an SSD is absolutely not 'optional' in any modern computer claiming to be for gaming.

27" screen and only 1920x1080?

For shame, MSI! For shame!

If I were to get myself a 27" display, I'd want at least 2560x1440, ideally 2560x1600.

1080p 27" is preferable for this product. Less strain on the GPU which is a mobile part so not that strong anyway. You can run the screen at it's native resolution and due to the size can sit further away. There are plenty of games that do not scale font sizes and some professional software where the UI at 2560 on 27" is annoying. Maybe when 4k is mainstream the super high ppi will be a good thing but right now if I wanted that much resolution it would be @ 30" not 27". MSI made the right choice.

Never will AiO devices be for enthusiasts. Ditto gaming on a laptop. The hardware is inferior.

Good luck to them, that GPU is a little below a 6790 or 7770 in terms of processing power, for nvidia it's close to a 460 768MB version. This really wont be for enthusiasts since they can already get 24" AiOs with desktop quad cores and a desktop 680 (admittedly for a hefty price). As for the display, that GPU really wouldn't be anywhere near enough for more than 1080p, to put things in perspective I have dual 680Ms in my laptop so that's roughly 10% more kick than a desktop 680, and apart from metro 2033 everything is fine at highest at 2560x1440, but this MSI AiO has 1/3rd of the power... no way it'd handle crysis 3

Guess it will depend on the price. My iMac has a GTX680 MX, and is pokey enough (15th in the 3dMark charts right now - although overclocked admittedly). I played through Dead Island with all the bells and whistles at native with no stutter etc.
