MSI Gaming 27T Windows 10 All-in-One Kicks Ass, Takes Names With Core i7, GTX 980M Graphics

MSI claims that it is now shipping the “World’s Most Powerful Gaming All-In-One PC” and we must admit, it does pack quite a punch. MSI’s Gaming 27T, as it names implies, features a 27-inch display. But unlike some all-in-ones released in the past few months, the 27T doesn’t feature a 4K display. Instead, the all-in-one ships with a Full HD (1920x1080) resolution anti-glare display.

Powering the machine is a Skylake-based Intel Core i7-6700 processor which has a base clock of 3.4GHz and Turbo Boosts up to 4GHz. You’ll find a healthy 16GB of RAM standard along with an incredibly potent NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M graphics processor (8GB GDDR5 memory). That processor and GPU combination should be more than enough to enable some incredible performance given that the GPU only has to cope with Full HD gaming resolutions.

Other hardware found within the all-in-one include a 256GB SSD that is paired with a 2TB HDD, Killer E2400 GbE, Killer, Killer Wireless-AC 1535, Bluetooth 4.1, a Blu-ray burner, a 3-in-1 media reader, two HDMI ports, three USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and a single USB 3.1 Type-C port.

As you might expect from a brand new gaming machine launching these days, the Gaming 27T ships with Windows 10 Home, an operating system that just today received its first major update.

MSI says that the Gaming 27T is available now for $2,699 from the usual retail suspects, including Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg.
