Well we got you covered from desktops to laptops today. Brent published the press release for the new AMD Radeon RX 5500 GPU series earlier and now we have the announcement from AMD about the brand new MSI Alpha 15.

Competitively designed for AAA 1080p gaming, and a starting price of $999 for the 8GB model, these are one of the few gaming laptops that won’t break the bank. Also, according to UltrabookReview.com, there is a 16GB model for $1099.

CPU is a Ryzen 3750H, 4 core/8 threads @ 2.3GHz base and 4.0Ghz boost
GPU is a Radeon RX 5500m with 22 compute units, 4GB GDDR6 and 1645Mhz Boost
Display options are 15.6″ 1080P Free-Sync with either 120hz(8GB) or 144hz(16GB) options

In their ad they claim the goal is AAA gaming at 1080P 60+ FPS. Can’t wait until the reviews start rolling in. A good time to release with the holidays right around the corner.

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
