MSI WS66 Mobile Workstation
$8,799, www.msi.com
MSI has made some outstanding gaming laptops, and the latest WS66 is an ongoing exploration of the related mobile workstation market.
There is a demand for high power laptops to avoid the inconvenience of lugging entire desktop systems around and the inevitable impact on reliability that doing that creates.
Typically these systems tend to forego an extended battery life for better processor and video performance, confident that the user will have mains power available.
Where it obviously shines is in any test that involves graphics or heavy compute loads, like the 3DMark benchmarks and the Cinebench scores.
