MSI GS70 Gaming Laptop Review

MSI GS70 Gaming Laptop Review

Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist of the Msi Ac Adapter

All too often, gaming laptops have the problem of overstating just how "made for gamers" they are. With their neon lights, science fiction-like design elements, and brightly colored accents, it usually doesn't take long to identify if a particular portable computer was made for gaming. MSI's new GS70, on the other hand, takes a different approach. Sporting an ultra-slim build, a dark gray aluminum chasis, and lacking unnecessary LEDs, the company's latest laptop is obviously designed with a more mature look in mind. It may not be quite as attractive as the Razer Blade line, but you definitely won't feel ashamed when you pull out the GS70 public — that is, as long as you can find a bag big enough to fit the laptop and its giant 17.3-inch display.

Touted as the "world’s thinnest and lightest 17-inch gaming laptop," the GS70 with adapter such as MSI Wind L1600 Ac Adapter, MSI Wind U100 Ac Adapter, LG E500 Ac Adapter, LG P300 Ac Adapter, MSI PR320 Ac Adapter, MSI EX600 Ac Adapter, MSI Wind X620 Ac Adapter, MSI A6000 Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3282U-2ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3377E-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 4000 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M60 Ac Adapter is just 0.85-inches thick and weighs 5.73 pounds, making it slightly more svelte than the Razer Blade Pro and Apple's larger MacBook Pro. Even at these dimensions, carrying a 17-inch laptop is still unwieldy, but the lightweight design makes it much easier to transport than something like Alienware's 9-pound, 1.82-inch thick alternative.

The GS70's built-in speakers do an admirable job as well. The 2.1 system equipped with Sound Blaster Cinema audio includes a subwoofer, which, together, keeps things loud and clear. It doesn't pack enough punch or quite enough bass to be the center of entertainment for your next party, but it's more than sufficient for personal gaming or movie watching sessions. Interestingly, MSI included an audio-in jack with the MS70, so you can plug in your smartphone for use with the computer's speakers.

But with all these features comes of a hefty price tag. Starting at $1,799.99, the MS70 is one of the more expensive laptops on the market, but is still less costly than some competing alternatives. The high-end model, which includes an extra 128GB SSD and replaces the 750GB HDD with a 1TB version, can be picked up for $1,999.99. In comparison, a similarly equipped Alienware 17 laptop and Razer's slightly lower-spec'd Blade Pro both start at over $2,000.

The GS70 is equipped with the right hardware to justify a high price tag, but with its short battery life and heat issues, MSI's latest still falls short of being the perfect gaming laptop. If you're in the market for a portable 17-inch gaming machine, though, its extremely thin and light body is hard to pass up.
