MSI has announced a slew of limited edition Heroes of the Storm laptops to cater to fans of the popular Blizzard game. The new laptops are the first to carry the Heroes of the Storm branding and will come with exclusive gifts like free in-game characters and skins. Furthermore, they are only available in select countries, one of which is Singapore.

The notebooks are equipped with the latest sixth-generation Intel Skylake processors and mobile graphics cards from NVIDIA. The limited edition notebooks are actually just special editions of the latest MSI gaming laptops like the GT72S Dominator Pro G, complete with elaborate Heroes of the Storm designs on the lid and wrist rests. To add on, the over-the-top MSI GT80 – yes, the one with the built-in mechanical keyboard – is also getting the Heroes of the Storm treatment.
