Put another way, it’s more Grand Theft Auto or Mafia II than Halo.

The MSI GT660 is more reminiscent(in a good way) of a 1950s-era Cadillac or 1970s-era muscle car than anything military or sci-fi–the styling gambits that designers favor for current gaming laptops.

The only downside is that the 1366-by-768, 16-inch display doesn’t support full-resolution 1080p HD playback. Look past the slightly over-the-top styling, and you’ll find great performance, outstanding input devices, and state-of-the-art connectivity. The MSI GT660, with its powerful nVidia GPU and forceful looks, is aimed squarely at gamers, but it’s also a surprisingly competent desktop replacement laptop.
