I heard it can be overclocked by a push of a button, is it any good?

It would be cool if with press of turbo button gpu would be overclock too.

Oh yeah you can only oc the CPU, Im sure they could find a way to push a button and oc the GPU.

The problem is not to overclock but to get rid of the heat... while CPUs don't get hot much more when only slightly overclocked, due the masses of transistors a GPU uses, heat goes up really fast... So you need to increase the airflow of the cooling solution, use more heatpipes, use more space generally speaking... more space increases the hight of the notebook which isn't what the people want. So be patient, MSI is trying hard to accomplish that, but they need first to develop a better cooling solution to do so.

Maybe this is what comes in play.

they are considering it for the next generation, they want to try to OC graphc and CPU but it tends to get too hot

I believe it's a good marketing idea and it's nothing useful , just like Intel HT or Virtualization for Gamers
I personally believe underclocking is much interesting that over cocking these days . undervoltaging is a neat idea as well

"Gamer Notebooks" are most of the time desktop replacements, so imho it does make sense to overclock also notebooks. I only think the overclock is quite too small. From 2.0 to 2.4 is not that much, from 2.0 to 3.0 would be much more interesting...
