Maximum PC: Your options for configuring a name brand gaming laptop from iBuyPower are expanding. As part of what iBuyPower is calling its Optiboost program, select notebook makers are teaming up with the boutique builder to offer customizable laptops. iBuyPower kicked off its Optiboost program last month with Gigabyte, and now MSI is joining the program with five different laptops to choose from.
No, it's not made of carbon fiber, but the Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport does have a push-button ignition.
According to recent reports, MSI has disclosed its flagship MEG Z690 Godlike back in December 2021. However, it is recently getting around to releasing it.
MSI has long made a name for themselves with gaming, building PC’s and laptops that deliver power, performance and style. The same is true with the new MSI Creator Z16.
The upgrade options aren't quite as robust as some of iBuyPower's own systems, though you can upgrade the CPU, RAM, storage, and a few other components.
Customizable MSI gaming laptops include the GP60 Leopard ($949), GP70 Leopard ($969), GT70 Dominator ($1,649), GT70 Dominator Pro ($2,099), and GE70 Apache ($1,139). These are all 17.3-inch laptops except for the GP60, which is 15.6 inches. All five sport 1920x1080 resolutions.
