The popular Taiwanese computer and peripherals manufacturer, MSI has recently unveiled its brand new Gaming Store in Malaysia. As the name would suggest, the store is squarely aimed at gaming enthusiasts and is now open on the 2nd floor of Plaza Lowyat. The launch also saw the first unveiling of MSI’s newest technologies in the Southeast Asian region.
The store is the first in KL and is operated by U-Note Sdn Bhd. At launch, the store featured MSI’s own laptops and panoramic Wi-Fi camera from its SomeThings brand, as well as gaming peripherals from its partner, SteelSeries. The themed store is said to be the first of many to come but interestingly, there are plenty of other traditional MSI stores too nationwide that are also similarly operated by local companies.

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro comes standard with the series, as is the NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, with up to 8 GB GDDR5 memory on the WT72 6QM. Super RAID 4, PCI-E Gen3 X4 M.2 SSD, Super Port for 2x 4K displays, quick charge, and Nahimic Audio Enhancer are all among the highlights of this WT72 series.
