The MSI GS70 Stealth is a light gaming laptop that packs a punch

The MSI GS70 is one of the thinnest and lightest full-power 17-inch gaming laptops we've tested.

The MSI GS70 Stealth looks great, for a gaming laptop, and combines powerful hardware and a generous HDD/SSD combo into a slim body.

Gaming performance is a step down from the very top of the line, despite the high price. The lack of a touch screen makes it harder to use as an everyday Windows 8 laptop. Despite loud fans, the GS70 gets very hot when gaming.

Making small performance trade-offs to fit into a slim, attractive 17-inch body, the MSI GS70 Stealth is a gaming laptop for those who hate the look of gaming laptops.

MSI GS70 Stealth (GS70 2OD-002US)

The MSI GS70 Stealth (GS70 2OD-002US) is a solid ultraportable gaming laptop, but even with good performance and battery life, it's a close race with the competition.

Long battery life for a gaming laptop. Slim design. Includes a SteelSeries keyboard optimized for gaming. Lovely 1,920-by-1,080 display with anti-glare finish.

Generic design is fairly conservative.

Conclusion The MSI GS70 Stealth (GS70 2OD-002US) demonstrates just how far the ultraportable gaming scene has come along since the Razer Blade (2012) first brought an ultraportable design to gaming machines. The portability and battery life is...

MSI GS70-2QE16SR51 Notebook Review

Black, red, silver. MSI's slim gamer GS70 gets an update. The new generation is now equipped with the GeForce GTX 970M, and MSI has also thought of striking colors for the chassis. However, the fan noise and temperatures are striking as well – our...

High system performance, Very good gaming performance, Nice metal case, Matte Full HD display, Many display ports, Indicates the currently active GPU, Fast SSD RAID configuration, Thin and comparatively light

Display with extreme blue cast, Strange keyboard layout, Very hot under load, Fan control can be improved, Mediocre sound system, Limited maintainability, Chassis is pressure sensitive

Our teaser introduction for the predecessor was "Wickedly hot", and the new MSI GS70-2QE16SR51 is even worse: The temperatures are higher, just like the operating noise during gaming. Other points of criticism like the mediocre speakers and the strange...

MSI GS70 6QE Stealth Pro Notebook Review

Up to date. Intel's quad-core Skylake processor only has a slight lead over its Haswell predecessor. However, its small boost in performance is accompanied by lower energy consumption. After the release of the GS70 Haswell model, MSI also fiddled with...

high system performance, very good gaming performance, stylish metal case, matte FHD display, many display ports, SSD + HDD, slim and comparatively lightweight

very hot under load, mediocre sound system, limited access to internal components

The MSI GS70 offers a powerful processor and a high-performance GPU. Together, these hardware components turn the computer into a gaming notebook that can tackle any title on today's market. The whole array of potent technology is contained in a slim...

MSI GS70 Stealth Pro-210 Review

In an ideal world, a gaming laptop would be powerful, have a large screen, and still be portable. Oh, and how about running stealthily quiet? Until now, no manufacturer has been able to marry these qualities together, but MSI is attempting to win us...

MSI GS70 Stealth Pro Review – GS70 2QE (Featuring GTX 970M – Maxwell GPU)

Last week NVIDIA launched their latest mobile GPU, based on their Maxwell architecture which powers the likes of their high end GTX 980. Today in our MSI GS70 Stealth Pro Review (GS70 2QE) we take a look at a laptop which uses the new GTX 970M in games...

Starting with the design and build quality of the GS70 2QE, or Stealth pro, we have a system which uses a familiar design. The all metal casing feels good quality, something which is enhanced by the brushed lid and we like that the branding is minimal....

MSI GS70 Stealth

The MSI GS70 Stealth is a slim, yet powerful, gaming laptop. It has a HDD/SSD combo and a high-performing i7 CPU that won't slow down. It does lack a touch screen, however, despite the high cost.

Thin design, Good-looking exterior, Excellent all-around performance

No touch screen, Runs very hot
