MSI GT70 0NE-276US

Gaming laptops are not known for their subtle design. Within and without, they're big, ostentatious systems, and the MSI GT70 0NE-276US ($2,599.99 Direct) is no exception. Its hulking chassis is packed to the gills with features, like a multicolor...

Blazing fast performance. Full color programmable backlit keyboard. Blu-ray burner

Bulky. Expensive. Subpar battery life, even for a gaming laptop

With its impressive specs, slew of nifty features, and overall cool design, the MSI GT70 0NE-276US is a fine choice for a gaming laptop, but better choices are out there.

COMPUTER SHOPPER - GOOD FOR GAMING

Expert review by: John R. Delaney (computershopper.com)

MSI GT70 0NE-276US

Every gamer wants speedy frame rates, but not everybody has the kind of cash needed to buy a laptop that will actually deliver the goods with the toughest games at the highest resolutions and detail settings. A super-awesome, overclocked-CPU, dual-GPU...

Speedy performance ; Gorgeous display ; Robust feature set

Pricey ; Heavy ; Short battery life

The MSI GT70 0NE-276US delivers the fast frame rates that gamers crave and is jam-packed with cool features and high-end components. However, you don't get much battery life from this bulky 17-inch gamer.

MSI GT70 ONE

The MSI GT70 ONE is your best bet when you upgrade your portable gaming system. This notebook has 12GB of RAM, a GeForce GTX 680M graphics card with 4GB of video memory and the newest generation of Intel processors. All of this hardware comes together...

The MSI GT70 gaming laptop runs 12GB of RAM and has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card

The company's customer support center needs some work

This laptop is not only powerful, but lightweight as well. The graphics card and top-tier display give it a hefty price tag, but only because it is one of the best gaming devices out there.

The SSJ4 Goku of Laptops

This thing flies, is quality construction, and looks awesome. No, it isn't too big. It's the perfect size for its purpose. It feels very solid and appropriately weighted when carried (but again, I'm not after ultraportability; this is a desktop...

Great construction. The overall build quality is excellent. Is it too heavy? Not to me. This is not an ultrabook; nor is it supposed to be. The brushed aluminum is not only beautiful, but it's also essentially FINGERPRINT-PROOF! As is the palm rest ;...

Windows 8 UI blows for desktop users, but this is easily remedied by third-party software, and the OS is speedy and does have some improvements ; Though it has 3 USB 3.0 ports, they're all on the left side (with 2 USB 2.0 on the right). No big deal...

Very nice and heavy laptop

I wasn't expecting all the items I got with it since I bought the Dragon edition. I feel that the headset works better for a desktop then a laptop. Why provide such a large headset with wires when the laptop has bluetooth capabilities. The headset...

Backlit keyboard ; higher end mobile GPU ; Core I7 quad core processor ; 16 gigs ram ; raid 0 of 2 128gig SSD's and a storage drive of 750gig ; Bluetooth built in ; Backpack type bag is the Demolition model from Targus, just embroidered with MSI's...

battery life is around 3 hours, but if I'm going to be gaming, I'm going to be plugged in ; really heavy ; Windows 8 Standard ; no display port or DVI connectors and no port changers ; I had a few problems with the Nvidia drivers. Make sure to get the...

A Fantastic Mobile Monster

I bought this laptop to replace an aging gaming desktop I built about 3 years ago. With a child on the way, I wanted something that I could play anywhere in the house, so another desktop was out of the question, but a semi-portable gaming laptop was a...

Incredibly fast boot times (probably averaging 5 seconds) ; Tons of horsepower for gaming ; Built-in speakers are actually pretty decent ; Design/Aesthetics

Heavy, not particularly portable ; Can get pretty hot during intense processing

Top of Line Gaming Laptop!

This laptop contains the nvidia gtx 680m and let me tell you, it surpasses all my expectations. You can't beat a desktop setup for gaming, but when you do a lot of gaming at multiple locations, then this beast of a laptop takes care of business for...

Fantastic Gaming Machine

I had ordered an Alienware laptop from Dell originally. Which was due to be built and shipped in 4-5 weeks. Their customer service was so terrible and the lead times so long that I cancelled my order. I ordered from Best Buy and within hours I received...

It's a powerhouse, looks great and it is well designed

Attracts dust, large power supply box

Best laptop I have ever used!

This is not so much a con, but it took me a few days to realize that the nVidia 680m card was not being utilized. When it was first purchased I was using the onboard HD Graphics 4000 chip and it still ran really well. I assumed the graphics card was...

Speed: Incredibly fast. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. This thing runs great, even on max settings. I can throw anything at it and it doesn't seem to bog down. It's a beast for graphic-intensive Photoshop and video editing tasks. I save so much time...

Plugging in my headphones caused the audio quality to degrade and I could not hear specific channels. This was user error though, because I didn't realize that I had to disable the optional center channel, subwoofer, side and rear pair speakers within...
