Spending all day with MSI's disappointing new gaming laptops I've learned it's not just what's inside that counts

The MSI Titan GT77 HX gaming laptop, half closed.

Tactile. It's a word I find myself thinking of the second I pull a new piece of hardware out of its box. A sense of the tactile, the smooth, the svelte, the well-made, is to me one of the most important things a piece of hardware can have, particularly when it comes to gaming laptops. After all, these are things designed to be carried, touched and interacted with on a daily basis. The way these objects feel is, to me and I believe any future buyer, very important.

Which brings me to the latest range of MSI laptops. I got a chance to have a hands on with these new machines at a press event in good old London-town this week, in which most of the new range was on display for my perusal. There they sat, lit up in neon and displayed proudly on pedestals, and I set about making my way around the room from machine to machine, dutifully nodding at the specs sheets.
