MSI sent us a laptop that they claim is powerful
The MSI GT70
We don't care if it is powerful or not, There are many powerful laptops out there.
We want to know if it is MANLY or not
That is why our review will be out of 5 mustaches! instead of 5 stars.
"Cough cough" let me go back to me normal voice now
so what are the laptops Specifications?
If you do not understand laptops well than in short the Specifications are amazing!
And if you do understand then here is a quick look at the details
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor, 2.3GHz
Ram: 16GB DDR3
Hard Drive SSD 128GB which means it will boot up in almost a minute also a HDD 750GB 7200rpm
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M Graphics with 3GB GDDR5 Video Memory
so strong that it swears to you that it will only work to its full capabilities if it is plugged into the electricity
Seriously Though it only works at max if it is plugged in to the electricity
a multi touch track pad
A Back lit steel series keyboard which you can choose the color scheme to your liking divided into 3 parts which can be controlled separately
a 2.1 built in sound system, 2 speakers on top and 1 subwoofer at the bottom.
there are also some touch sensitive buttons above the keyboard, like the turbo button which boosts the processing speed from 2.3 to 3.3 ghz
17.3" Full HD (1920x1080) Matte Type LCD which means you wont see your face in it when you wake up in the morning
Built-in 720P HD Webcam (30fps@720p) so your face will look so clear
from the left side the laptop has 3 usb 3 slots, Card Reader, audio jacks
On the right side there is a blue ray drive and 2 usb 2 slots
at the back there is a VGA, esata, HDMI, Lan, power outlet,
on the front are the indication lights
the thickness of the laptop as compared to the thickness of an iphone from the back
and this is the thickness from the front
and dont forgot the ac block which you could use as a weapon
its weight is around 4kg
so now you are wondering how well it would work with games
we tested out battlefield 3 on Ultra settings and it faced no problems
same thing goes for Skyrim, it automatically switched all the settings to max and worked smoothly
so how much does it cost? it costs between 6500sr to 7000sr depending on where you buy it from
This is a great price compared to the specifications you get in return
lets now take the conclusion
the pros and cons
Pros: Good price considering specs especially the ssd hard drive
Great performance with games, it can handle anything you throw at it, rarely gets low fps
Cons: The view angle could have been better if you are playing alone it is not a problem but anyone next to you wont see as clear
Heavy weight almost 4kg big laptop and big power block, needs to be plugged in to get full performance
But it is considered as a desktop replacement
The cooling fans noise at times can become high
But it the end even with the cons the price is great with these specs
and for that it gets 4 mustaches and a half out of 5
If you feel that you are manlier than this laptop then give us a thumbs up! and if you are a girl that is prettier than the graphics from this laptop then give us a thumbs up!
