Micro-Star Int’l (MSI) has announced their latest Core i7-equipped MSI GT640 15.4-inch gaming laptop. Along with a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, the GT640 also features strong specs which has allowed the Taiwan-based company to temporaily claim the title as the world’s most powerful gaming notebook.

Onboard the GT640 is a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M 1GB dedicated video card, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, up to 500GB of hard drive storage, and a built-in DVD burner or Blu-ray drive. Other notables include a two megapixel webcam, HDMI, 7.1 channel audio output and an eSATA input. No info on pricing yet however given that it will come with Windows 7 Home Premium, its likely release date would probably be after the 22nd of this month.
