MSI PE70 2QD-062US

 

The PE70 2QD-062US is part of MSI's Prestige series of laptops, which emphasize multimedia performance while maintaining gaming chops. It's a hefty machine ready to take you to victory or to edit the next YouTube sensation.

Quality 17-inch screen. Excellent connectivity. Good-sounding speakers.

Bulky. Lots of preloaded apps. Short battery life in testing.

Conclusion The MSI PE70 2QD-062US is a good choice if you're a content-creation hobbyist who likes to indulge in gaming once in a while. The Core i7 processor, brilliant screen, and clear speakers will definitely make creating the next YouTube...

MSI PE70 6QE Prestige iBuyPower Edition Notebook Review

 

business-class gaming. We take our second look at the PE70 to see how well the Prestige series is branching off from its gaming G series roots. Unfortunately, not much has changed.

lightweight and small for a 17.3-inch multimedia notebook ; relatively low core temperatures under stress ; comfortable touchpad and keyboard ; high sRGB coverage (>90 percent) ; USB Type-C Gen. 2 port ; good speaker quality ; easy serviceability

unable to maintain maximum CPU Turbo Boost ; loud system noise; fans tend to pulsate ; light-moderate backlight bleeding ; relatively short battery life ; few expandability options ; dim display backlight ; no NVMe upgrade ; weak display lid

Like its smaller PE60 and PX60 siblings, the PE70 Prestige will need to offer more than just a quick paint job to separate itself from the already established GE62 and GE72 series. At its current state, the Prestige series feels unnecessary unless if...

MSI PE70 2QE Notebook Review

 

Multimedia elite? According to MSI, the notebooks from the new Prestige-series are devices for very demanding lifestyle and business users. But can the 17.3-inch PE70 fulfill these high promises?

noble design, good Full HD display, decent keyboard with numeric keypad, full performance without throttling, good software additions, good speakers, dedicated headphones amplifier, free M.2 slot

stability of the base unit, loud touchpad buttons, price/performance ratio, poor battery runtimes, no SSD, bad webcam

MSI uses very aggressive marketing for its new Prestige lineup and includes a lot of features, but not all of them could convince us during the review. The chassis leaves a noble first impression with its aluminum surfaces, but the stability of the...

MSI PE70 Multimedia Notebook Preview

 

Wide-view screen. Rumors have been confirmed: MSI presents the PE70, a brand new 17-inch laptop that is not only aimed at the gaming community but also at enthusiastic multimedia fans and professional users. We were able to take a close look at the...

After completing the measurements, the PE70's screen proved to be a very good Wide View display that will satisfy most needs. The “True Color” software is a nice and useful idea, but the tool cannot replace a "real" calibration. An in-depth review of...

Great Laptop!

 

DON'T. UPGRADE. WINDOWS!!!!! Windows 8.1 works great but when I tried the free Windows 10 upgrade all sorts of things stopped working. The biggest problem was that I was suddenly incapable of using my Control Panel and that is unacceptable, but that's...

This thing is a beast! With the 16g of RAM, the Quad Core processor and the dedicated video card there's not much that it can't do. Some things should be considered before spending this much money on a laptop though. I've listed those in the cons section.

The 17" screen obviously makes it bulky, so if you're going to be carrying it around a lot you might prefer the 15" option because this thing will barely fit in my backpack. Runs a little hot and the battery time is pretty pathetic, but I expected that...

Decent laptop..

 

This was the first laptop I got with a graphics card in it. I can see it's better not to get laptops with graphics cards in them because of heat and battery draw. While this makes a nice desktop replacement for something that will sit around for...

Speedy, great screen, lots of drive space, upgraded to Windows 10 without much of a hitch. Plays most games pretty great.

Bit too big for what I was thinking. I haven't had a large laptop in a while so I didn't realize how large this thing is. I can't seem to locate the battery access so replacing that might be a bit of a project. The biggest problem I had with it is some...

Over All Good

 

Over all it seems like a great system. I knocked an egg off for all the issues I listed above and especially the wasted space on the keyboard area. Seriously I could fit two keyboards and still have room for a track pad there. I bought it on sale so...

Speedy, lots of memory, good performance over all. Lots of hard drive space and the screen is bright and crisp. Lots of USB ports and other things really help this system shine. Ready to go to Windows 10 out of the box as far as the Windows Update...

Feels like there is a lot of wasted space on the bottom half where the keyboard and track pad are. No recovery media out of the box, you have to create it yourself and if you aren't careful could delete it from the second drive partition which is...

MSI PE70 2QD-062US

 

It starts windows in 5 seconds. It is fast laptop and solid built. So far so good.

Unable to register on MSI website with the serial number. Tried to call and hold for long time no help. Will try later.

Overall Very Good

 

Overall a very good machine, especially at the Shell Shocker sales price + rebate. Screen flickers running Linux, but everything is smooth running OS X. Even Windows runs fine on stock mechanical had drive. Hard drive will run at SATA2 speed if you use...

- powerful CPU - good GPU (yes, DDR5) - excellent screen - not too heavy

- needs larger battery - too much flex in keyboard - small number keys

Not worth it

 

Pretty on the outside.

Slow loading worse than my old laptop. It is not able to handle games as it claims it struggles enough with loading regular pages or even movies.I brought this because it was fresh but I already knew the warning about MSI. I decided to give them a...
