An Excellent Laptop Shipped With Flaws

After removing the worst bits of the default OS (Win 8.1) I was very satisfied with the quality and performance of the laptop. Aside from the light bleed which is clearly a manufacturing issue, everything else feels and appears to be high quality and...

Extremely fast processor- The 4710MQ default OCs to 3.3ghz and runs incredibly quickly ; Amazing gpu- The 970m is capable of handling everything you can throw at it. Witcher 2 nearly maxed, Planetside 2 maxed, playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance you...

Manufacturer sent w/ Light bleed- Rather bad light bleed on the bottom of the screen. Makes all darks appear washed out and faded in a several inch area surrounding the bleeding ; Not quite worth an egg off imo, but when combined with the other cons 5...

Amazing laptop for this price range get it now!

Windows 8.1 can be changed by downloading Classic Shell to give functionality of the older windows theme. Uploaded a video titled: "Unboxing the MSI GT60 Dominator Gaming Laptop 1065 (Part 2)" if you would like to see some initial thoughts.

So far so good.

So far I am pretty happy with it, but will talk to MSI/NewEgg about an RMA or replacement unit to get rid of my backlight bleeding and faulty alt key. Remember to register your laptop within 30 days for an extra one year warranty!

Upon arrival I did not wait to open the box. MSI does a great job at packaging and the box that the laptop was put in was very very attractive. I've had GT60's in the past so nothing was really a big surprise except the GTX 970M. Nothing was damaged,...

There is a few, actually ; First, the bottom panel that hides your internals was not clipped in all the way. I found that one clip was unclipped and that side of the panel was popping up. Not a big deal, but sucks that MSI missed that before packaging...
