 MSI GE70 OND-033US Jun 22, 2012
By jon
I have had my MSI GE70 ND-033US for two days. I find the laptop to be as advertised. The graphics is very high quality and the laptop is extremely fast. The no glare display is outstanding. It plays Battlefield 3 in the extreme graphics mode. The computer has a lot of capability for the price. I am happy with all aspects of the laptop.

Definitely a great beginner's laptop for gaming Aug 30, 2012
By K_W_iceman
I've recently begun to renew my interest in PC gaming, yet I did not want to invest $2500 in my dream laptop/desktop, wanting something that could be functional for both work and play. The MSI GE70 is a perfect blend of the two.
Screen: the resolution is 1920x1080 and man, is it beautiful. it's a matte display, so be prepared for dirty whites, but the viewing angles are more than worth it.
Keyboard: it's a steelseries keyboard, which is very reliable. only gripe with the keyboard is properly depressing the keys, but that's "user error"
Graphics: it's an nVidia GTX660m which is more than enough to run Battlefield, as well as pretty much any game you want to throw at it. Be advised, games such as Metro 2033 do require tweaking of some settings, so i you want everything truly maxed out for every current game this is NOT the laptop for you.
Audio: loud. clear. I can understand what people are saying in movies 30 feet away. that's impressive, especially coming from a Toshiba laptop
Processor: Intel i7 3rd gen Ivy Bridge proc great for processor-hungry games
Memory: 8GB RAM, I have had up to 50 combined tabs on chrome running and I haven't noticed a slowing down. this is before I dropped my SSD and mSATA in here
Hard Drive: ships with a 750GB 7200rpm HDD, which is ok, but I ended up upgrading with a Mushkin mSATA and an OCZ 240GB 2.5" SSD. I moved the hard drive to where my DVD drive is using the NEW SATA 2nd HDD caddy for 12.7mm Universal CD/DVD-ROM, giving me 360GB of SSD and 750GB of HDD.
DVD Drive: felt plasticky. took it out in favor of using it as a hard drive space
Hot Keys: there's a fan that manually cranks the fans up, doesn't get too loud, not noticeable during movie watching, can't hear it at all with headphones during gaming. The turbo button is automatically it up when a process requires more juice than the integrated graphics can handle.
Body: it's glossy, so be prepared for fingerprints galore. I knew this going into it, so I'm not too upset. if fingerprints drive you nuts, please DO NOT buy this laptop
Ports: 2xUSB 3.0, 2xUSB2.0 1xHDMI, 1xVGA, 1x Ethernet port
Webcam & Mic: eh, I'm personally going to get a better one, works fine in a pinch
Other Thoughts: I wish it shipped with an SSD stock, but that's easily fixed. I wish it had a BluRay, but then again I took the ODD out, so it does me no good wishing for this.
***UPDATE 26/12/2012***
Laptop still works great. I have an mSATA as my OS drive, an SSD for all my games, and I will soon be using another SSD for my movies, music, and other programs. With the all SSD set-up, it does run a bit cooler.
Games: it can run Battlefield 3, but not at max settings. The GPU does crank up the heat when playing graphics-heavy games, so a quality notebook cooler might not be a bad investment. This computer can run Far Cry 3 and Skyrim, but again, not at the highest settings. If you really want to game at max, invest in a laptop with dual SLI/XFire or get a desktop with a GTX 680. If you want to game on the go, this is fine.
Keyboard: for those asking, it is NOT backlit, that would be the GT series
Mouse: I went and got a CoolerMaster Storm Spawn mouse and it satisfies my needs for gaming.
Wireless: sadly, this is not a wifi card that supports dual band, but such cards can be found online, and the replacement of the card seems to be quick.
I highly recommend that people get an mSATA or an SSD for their boot drive and potentially as a storage drive, as applications load much faster; my boot time from hitting the power button to fully loading Facebook is 24 seconds. Still a 5 star product for its class

Great machine Sep 17, 2012
By Alex
Beautiful laptop, especially for the price. I've had an MSI before and I noticed some improvements on this one. The first thing is the screen is non-reflective (like really) which is great. This is also a lot thinner and lighter than the other gaming laptops I've had.. a lot more mobile which is what I was after. Still not a lot of battery life, though better then the hardcore gaming laptops (a bit under 2 hours it seems to be.. though it has a bunch of battery saving eco modes which I'm not bothering with at the moment that should improve it I imagine.
Design is beautiful... good for a gamer but at the same time not super nerdy.. more just clean and stylish.
Very high end machine and I definitely recommend it.

Very fast, Handles AutoCAD very well Sep 17, 2012
By easterdaymatt
I bought this laptop as an IT guy looking for an inexpensive and powerful computer for running AutoCAD, editing video, and running Windows based Pro-Audio design tools like Harman System Architect.
The RAM is fast, but I am thinking that an upgrade is in order. Video memory is largely taken from the system memory and CAD is a hog.
CPU is GREAT! It automatically overclocks if necessary, but 9 times out of 10 it won't be necessary. The 2.3 GHz third gen i7 in this is very pwoerful and I rarely see the overclocking engage. However, when the computer is starting up and sometimes when it logs in it overclocks to speed up the boot time.
USB 3.0 on the computer is incredibly faster than it's USB 2.0 counterpart.
The high speed fan button makes me feel better if I am running Graphics intensive stuff or trying to open 20 PDFs while at the same time exporting HD video. It's also a quiet computer without the super fan option engaged.
My only issue has been that it got a Blue Screen of Death, but that was due to a faulty SD card I had in the slot and after a hard reset I was back up and running.
The screen is huge and the computer does have quite a bit of weight to it, so I suggest getting a backpack or a shoulder bag because just a neoprene sleeve is cumbersome.
Definitely worth the price and even upgrading the RAM will be an easy feat as it supports 16GB.

A monster package.....but sweet as a nut Oct 02, 2012
By Dc981
My son wanted a fast laptop....but couldn't afford an Alienware. Who needs Alienware when you get this machine. It has a GTX660m graphics card which is the new 'cooler' chip from Nvidia and it runs most new games without a problem. Skyrim looks great at 900x1080p (with AA and other tweaks switched on) and runs very smoothly. It looks great and the large 17.3" screen at 1080p makes film watching a delight. The fan is hardly audible when not playing games and the graphics card switches itself on when you want to play demanding games. You can also manually switch on the extra fans when playing high level games. A bargain.....you won't regret it.
