Incredible Laptop, Reviews MSI G Series GE70 2OE-017US 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black/Red)

Really like the MSI G Series GE70 2OE-017US 17.3-Inch larger screen, for sure. And it's a matted screen, not the shiny hard-on-the-eyes type screen. I love this laptop! Gaming is great, full everything, no lag. The only time I ever lag is because its my internet, absolutely nothing with the laptop.

The fan does come on when playing graphic heavy games, and feels a little warm to the touch. The price point for this laptop is amazingly good. Sure, it could have been cheaper, but you'd lose all of the features it had! The screen is beautiful, back light of blue is great (as well as the dimming features) and overall thoughtful design.

• Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor
• Windows 8 64bit
• 17.3" Full HD Anti-reflective Display (16:9, 1920 x 1080)
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M discrete graphics with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM
• 12GB (8GB+4GB) DDR3 1600MHz system memory

• BD Combo Drive
• Killer E2200 Game Networking
• Single-color Programmable Backlite Keyboard by SteelSeries
• Gold-plated Audio Jacks in sync with an Audio Amplifier

Performance wise, it's a great laptop. It dynamically adjusts the clock speeds depending on the load, meaning you'll save a lot of battery. I've seen it run as low as 700 MHz, and I've seen it go all the way up to 3400 MHz The Haswell processor handles it very well, resulting in a very little loss of performance even when you leave it idling and decide to start opening up programs.

I did TONS of research before buying a new laptop as well and every search came back to this. I am so satisfied with it! Also, the packaging is really cool too. The display is perfect, there was no dead pixels. Excellent quality and color. The viewing angles are wide enough for me, so I don't have anything to complain here.

I'll go through the pros and cons (very few) of this beauty. MSI G Series GE70 2OE-017US 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop Pros:

•  17.3 Inch Screen running Natively at 1920x1080 (1080P). The Anti-Glare and Anti-Reflective work as advertised.
• i7 Generation 4 Technology, boy its fast.
• SteelSeries Mechanical Keyboard BUILT-IN to this laptop (with light-up keys) (Detection speed is amazing. Also has a Turbo-Fan button which pushes heat out quickly from the inner-workings.
• 2 USB 3.0 ports for your fast external drives & 2 more USB 2.0 ports for other devices.
• 12 Gigs of RAM (Multitasking galore) + Adobe Premiere Pro and Cinema 4D work without any lag
• Discrete Graphics (GTX 765M) (Plays everything on high with great frame-rates (60+), plays a few games on Ultra with 60+ frames, but most with acceptable frames (30~45FPS))
• VGA & HDMI out for multiple TVs, resolutions and devices.
• Cools well, even without a Cooling Pad (though I'm still getting one)
• No bloatware (Useless or advertising programs that take up space, memory and are annoying)
