This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Awesome gaming machine
First Im writing a review to balance out the unnecessary low score. Anyway this is a great gaming computer. It runs the newest and best Nvidia GPU for laptops, the 780M. This machine can play any game on the highest settings, including Metro Light (everything max and SSAA on 2x). I started playing PC games again because of this computer. The color keyboard is cool and I really like typing on the keyboard. The keyboard is chiclet style but its better than Apple IMO. The touch pad is rather small however. When playing games who uses the touchpad anyway? I do like that the touchpad will automatically deactivate when you connect a mouse. If you are going to play games with this on your lap then I recommend a cooling pad because it does get hot during intense gaming. You can use the cooler boost that turns up the fan which is fan if you have the volume up or use headphones. This computer has really nice speakers. It is supposed to have a subwoofer but I really cant tell it makes any...

2. Sweet Machine!
I have had the GT70 for about a week now, and I have to say, it's pretty sweet.

PROS:
- GTX 780m handles everything I have thrown at it so far. DayZ (ARMA II) with everything set to 'Very High' gets 24fps average.
- Quite, no loud fan noise, well maybe a little when in game, but not as much as my older Samsung.
- Stays Cool! I keep the house about 80 F and I haven't had an issue yet with heat. Again, the Samsung would roast my fingers on the keyboard when in game...
- Back Lit keyboard FTW!
- VERY nice display, so sharp and bright!
- Expandable, even though it may void the warranty, I plan on getting an SSD and more ram in the future...Oh and Windows 7!

CONS:
- Not liking Windows 8... I'm old school I guess...
- Amazon was confused about the a few things:
-- Hard Drive. It is NOT a 7200 RPM, it's 5400, Amazon states both.
-- It's 2.4GHz, not 3.2GHz, unless there is some boosting settings I haven't found...

Need more appointment... ?
Awesome so far!
Hardware wise this laptop is as awesome as you can get for the price. Unfortunately it comes with Win 8. So either you deal with Win 8 like I am doing, or just install Win 7. Everything has worked perfect so far and I've owned it for a month. I love hooking this sucker up to my 47" TV with HDMI and playing my Steam games, which it runs incredibly well. I've always been very satisfied with MSI products. The only issue I've run into was getting the warranty with the MSI site. I tried to register it with the serial code provided next to the battery several times with no luck, so the only other option is to call MSI tech support. Besides that one snag, it's perfect.
