MSI GT640 : The World's Most Powerful Gaming Notebook ? Or is it Toshiba Qosmio X500 ?

Totally unmindful of the existence of Alienware, Voodoo Envy, Thinkpad W Series, Toshiba Qosmio line, Vaio AR line, Acer Ferrari and Macbook Pro, MSI tagged GT640 - one of its newer releases - as "The World's Most Powerful Gaming Notebook"




But is it really? Let's take a look at what's inside the aluminum alloy body to find out:

Core i7 Processor
1GB NVIDIA Geforce GTS 250
up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM,
500 Gigabytes of storage

Other specs:
2MP webcam,
Blu-ray burner.
HDMI
Wifi,
Bluetooth 2.0,
7.1 channel audio output
eSATA input

Well, this might not sound good for MSI, but Toshiba has just released Qosmio X500 - a multi-media and gaming laptop which comes with a Core i7 processor, GeForce GTS 250M, Webcam, Blu-ray Burner and supports up to 8GB of RAM and 1 Terabyte of disk space.
