Very audible in 3D use ; CPU throttling in full load ; Bulky and heavy

Over EUR 2000 are quite steep

MSI GT70 review

MSI has a solid reputation in the gaming laptop space: its laptops are generally fairly powerful, heinous monstrosities that get the job done at a fair price. The MSI GT70 fits the mold quite nicely. While it isn't quite as garish as its forbears, it...

Great speakers ; Excellent keyboard and touchpad ; Sturdy build ; Strong performance

Lackluster display ; Design isn't very attractive ; A bit heavy ; Limited SSD storage space

A fair price for a solid PC

MSI GT70 Gaming Laptop Review

A monstrous package.

Brilliant performance in games, latest hardware inside, SSDs are incredibly fast, impressive keyboard and speakers, Killer E2200 LAN card and 3x USB 3.0 ports

Graphics card is just an overclocked version of last year's GTX 570M, a proper (Kepler based) GTX 680M is due in a few months and 47% of the SSDs are filled with bloatware

Now to keep such powerful hardware cool, especially during games, the fan does make a fair bit of noise. It doesn’t get too irritating because the built-in Dynaudio speakers do a good job of drowning out the whining noise. However if you’re watching a...

Expert review by: Timothy Torres (computershopper.com)

MSI GT70

Gaming notebooks are tricky beasts to evaluate. The best of them balance the speediest current-day performance with the savviest design, but a perfect combination will cost you. On top of that, serious gamers are often younger people—say, college...

Aggressive pricing ; Fun and functional keyboard, touch pad ; Scorching performance ; Superb graphics, sound ; Multiple USB 3.0 ports ; Blu-ray burner

Noisy fan and optical drive ; Narrow screen viewing angle

The MSI GT70’s fun lighting features and runaway performance, combined with a reasonable price for the hardware, add up to one of the best-value laptops you can buy for serious gaming.
