Let's have a brief look at the connections on this laptop. Two USB3.0 and two USB2.0 ports, 4 audio jacks, a card reader for SD(XC)/MMC/MS/XD cards. At the back HDMI, DVGA and E-SATA port are awaiting your external peripherals.

As the cooling is optimised for maximum performance, it's no wonder that a lot of ventilation holes are foreseen for maximum heat dissipation.

The GT683 shares the same quick function keys with it's bigger brother. The P1 which you can program yourself. The Turbo function is self explenatory providing that little extra boost while gaming. The increased fan option button for optimal cooling. The rest are for enabling/disabling the wireless, to set different performance modes ( movie, entertainment,...  )

The touchpad, while not so slick looking as the GT780 version was better responsive, sadly lacking the enabling/disabling button. The loudspeaker system is still from the highly acclaimed Dynaudio firm, providing you with clear and crisp sound. Again we find a little subwoofer on the bottom of the laptop for that extra sound dimension.

Too bad the GT683 lacks the Steelseries keyboard, but while gaming on this laptop we did not discover any flaws/delays when pushing multiple keys.

Time to show what this little laptop is made off, by running it through the same testsuite as the GT780...
