A plain cardboard box which features MSI’s logo protects the GT70 0NC’s inner box.
The more elegant internal box makes it clear that this laptop is part of MSI’s highly acclaimed ‘Gaming ‘G’ Series’. MSI is clearly very proud about the fact that the GT70 0NC’s keyboard is designed by SteelSeries and the sound is taken care of by Dynaudio. Detailed specifications are located on the side of the laptop box.
The system itself is protected and secured by 2 basic pieces of cardboard. Scratches are prevented by the use of a plastic cover and a nylon-like material which folds around the entire laptop.
A hefty charging block is used which is manufactured by Delta Electronics and rated for 180W of power. Operational input voltage of the block is from 100-240V with an output of 19V/9.5A.
A large amount of paperwork is included with the GT70 0NC. Some of the material is of little use. Important booklets such as the quick start guide and F3 hotkey recovery function and are printed in colour. MSI includes a sticker which shows off the laptop’s ‘ECO Engine power saving modes’ and ‘TDE (Turbo Drive Engine) Technology’.
This system exposes a problem with nvidia mobile pricing right now. the 7970m is cheaper than the GTX680m and faster, never mind the 670m.
The only issue with the 7970m is the noise and heat it generates. ive heard several laptops using it and they get very very loud when gaming.
I’m quite sure the one shown is the GT780, not the GT70. The GT70 has a very boring design, and the 0nC/0nD are slim.
Either way, it is pretty much my dream machine – 17″ and fast enough for games.
After getting my current 17″, I don’t want to go any smaller, although it’s no good with games.
My bad… I was thinking of the GE range… then again, the GT60’s look like the GE60’s and GE70’s while the GT70 and GT780 look like the GTX683 without the lights. Confusing..

According to a website, the GTX 670M is not a Kepler based GPU, this is still a Fermi graphicscard, bigger DIE, less powerful etc..
GTX 670M = GTX 570M (Bad MSi!!!)
