Review MSI GE70-i765M287 Notebook

Gaming package. A matte 17.3-inch Full HD display, an Intel Core

Matte and bright display; Full HD with high contrast ratio; Backlit keyboard; Good gaming performance

No SSD (HDD slows down the system); Very high temperatures; Keyboard layout

The strange keyboard layout that takes time getting used to.

Review MSI GE70-i547W7H Notebook

Lean GT gamer. The GE range aims at tighter budgets and bids midr

Stable load performance; Good gaming performance; High contrast FHD; Matte TFT screen; Four speakers; Easy access hardware (upgrade, cleaning)

Clattery keyboard; Yielding chassis; No eSATA; Stiff touchpad keys; High weight

MSI blunders with the keyboard. It might feature a useful layout and accurate keys for gamers (conic cavity), but that does not justify the wobbly stroke caused by an unstable plate. The adjective “wobbly” can also be used for the case. The plastic...

MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro gaming laptop review

Weighing in at a full 3 kg and measuring 39 mm thick, the 17-inch GE70 certainly isn't very backpack-friendly, and will definitely spend most of its time at home. The battery doesn't last all that long either, and only just scraped 120 minutes of...

The GE70 2PE Apache Pro does have its flaws – it's bigger and heavier than it really needs to be, the battery life is poor, and we really dislike the trackpad. However, it delivers the goods when it comes to gaming action. That extravagant storage...

Review: MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro

MSI's bombastically titled GE70 2PE Apache Pro serves up serious gaming power in a 17.3in chassis. With a quad-core Core i7 processor alongside one of Nvidia's latest GTX 800 Series GPUs, the Apache Pro promises blindingly quick performance for $1,899....

Great for mobile, big-screen gaming.

MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro review

A power-packed 17.3in gaming laptop and capable desktop replacement, the Apache Pro provides plenty of bang for your buck

As with all gaming laptops, the MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro costs a considerable amount of money. Given the power-packed specification, beautiful screen and capable all-round performance, though, it's actually very fairly priced. If you're on the hunt for...

MSI GE70 2PE (Apache Pro) - 265UK Gaming Laptop Review

For our first look at MSI we put their GE70 2PE 17" Gaming Laptop with GTX860M graphics through its paces.

Excellent on-board audio ; Good Specification ; Competitively Priced ; SteelSeries Engine is superb for Gamers ; Impressive Design

Very poor battery life ; No Blu-ray drive

Our first of hopefully many MSI gaming laptop reviews has definitely started with a winner. For £1299, you get a system with an impressive specification, vast storage, decent components plus a very striking design and excellent build quality. MSI's...

Great laptop!

I have had this laptop for the better part of 3 years, 5 months and 2 weeks and I can honestly say that this is the best laptop I have ever owned. It did have its problems just like others but nothing that required me to contact tech support for. I...

Good quality design mSATA port Sound Extremely long wireless range (From 40 feet away)

On occasion, the fan makes a clicking noise but got used to it and sometimes, the bluetooth/wireless connection cuts out. Oh and the headphone port broke, but I used bluetooth wireless headphones anyway.
