MSI GE40 2OC-009US

 

The MSI GE40 2OC-009US is a gaming ultrabook that delivers solid performance on the go, with a low price.

Gaming ultrabook with slim portable design. Fourth-generation Intel Core i7 processor. Nvidia GeForce GTX760M graphics. Decent feature set. Solid battery life.

Gets uncomfortably hot. Disappointing display. Awkward button bar mars otherwise decent trackpad. No keyboard backlight.

Conclusion The MSI GE40 2OC-009US offers plenty of gaming prowess, delivering an ultrabook that will take you on the gaming grid even as you take it on the go. While it doesn't top the Editors' Choice Razer Blade (2013), it's the closest competitor...

MSI GE40 Review: a Slim Gaming Notebook

 

With Intel's Haswell launch officially behind us, we're getting a steady stream of new notebooks and laptops that have been updated with the latest processors and GPUs. MSI sent their GE40 our way for review, a gaming notebook that's less than an inch...

MSI GE40 2OC-009US Gaming Notebook Review: The Best of Both Worlds?

 

With few exceptions, it's generally been taken for granted that gaming notebooks are going to be hefty devices. Portability is rarely the focus, with weight and battery life alike usually sacrificed in the interest of sheer power. But the MSI GE40...

MSI GE40 2OC Dragon Eyes - Affordable, Svelte & Powerful

 

Don't be fooled by appearances. Despite its slim profile and light weight, the MSI GE40 2OC Dragon Eyes packs the latest Intel "Haswell" processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M discrete graphics under its hood. We check it out to see if it's the notebook...

Good performance ; Awesome battery life ; Relatively compact and lightweight

Build quality not fantastic ; No Full HD IPS display

For the MSI GE40, what you are paying for really are the components in its chassis: the fantastically frugal and capable Intel Core i7-4702MQ, the powerful GeForce GTX 760M and the pair of blazing quick mSATA SSDs.

MSI GE40-2OC Dragon Eyes Laptop Review (i7-4702MQ/GTX760M)

 

They say 'good things come in small packages' and if MSI have a say in it, then their new 14 inch GE40 with 'Dragon Eyes' will be winning your heart. This diminutive gamers laptop features the latest ...

Nvidia GTX760M kicks ass with the latest Direct X 11 games ; Intel Core i7 4702MQ is a powerhouse mobile chip ; excellent keyboard ; 1600×900 resolution screen

runs hot ; quite noisy under load ; single channel memory ; slow 2.5 inch mechanical hard drive ; bloated software install ; shiny surfaces need constant cleaning ; single height return key

Cyberlink PowerDVD 13 Ultra is one of the finest solutions for the BluRay experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset.

Nice laptop, very please with it.

 

This is a powerful laptop with the capabilities to run high end graphics in games. I love that it's so compact and yet I can still enjoy my games on the go

It's not the most sturdy build. Within minutes of opening my laptop, my older sister ran her fingers (she has very long finger nails) across the keyboard saying, "Look how pretty this is." She failed to realize that her finger had snagged the semicolon...

Great Notebook

 

Overall this notebook is very awesome and I am glad I bought it. It does everything I need it to do without delay so I can be productive as well as relax and play some games. I thought it was interesting that MSI packaged up a CD with the drivers,...

Very fast with operating system installed on SSD ; Graphics card works great for games ; Anti-glare screen is nice ; Incredibly light-weight (Important for me) ; Very thin

Corners of frame at edges are not perfectly flush with each other. The are just approximately a millimeter off to where you can feel some sharp plastic ; Touchpad is pretty terrible/unusable if pressing more than one key on the keyboard while using it....

MSI GE40 SSD

 

Overall a great laptop and definitely one to consider, i am very happy with my purchase and am greatly enjoying this laptop.1080p isn't necessary on a 14 inch screen, but windows 8 can be a toss up if a pro or a con, i just got a shell that gave me a...

Fast, very responsive. Extremely quick start times (near those of Microsoft surface pros) can easily handle most all games out there on high to medium high settings, which still looks great on a 1600x900 display. Laptop is thin and light, making it...

This thing gets hot. like really hot. like i would recommend a cooler pad if your gaming over a long period of time just to keep the temps down. Overclocking is not really an option until the stock cooling system is upgraded. It must just put out a lot...
