We measured power consumption via a calibrated meter plugged in between the laptop and wall socket.
Power is measured when the system is resting at idle and then when loaded with the last ‘combined test' in 3DMark 11, which replicates a real world gaming situation.
The MSI GE40-2OC demands 27 watts when idle, and this rises to 76 watts when the system is at full load.

The Tryx Luca L70 had some negative press at launch but is it really that bad?

No laptop is worth that money, u could get a PC that blows that out of the water for the same price
When I see a mechanical drive now in such a machine I always despair. its such an oversight as nothing is more important for a machine than a fast drive. even the CPU or GPU isnt as important.
@ Stephen, well you can’t really carry around a £1,000 desktop, or put it in a bag in cabin luggage on a plane. Its horses for courses. Many people love these tiny little machines for mobile gaming.
I think MSI dropped the ball a little with this spec though.
is this windows 7 or 8 ?
What do you think it is? Microsoft is paying big money to shove win 8 down our throats.
I bought this laptop last week and it came with a 128 ssd + 750 gig standard HD. I upgraded the ram to 16 gigs and so far it’s been a great little machine. The pre installed software bloat is definitely an issue though. Navigating the msi site for driver updates is also a bit of a pain. If you go to the main site it’s alright but picking the Canadian site and trying to find any information is completely useless.
The machine ships with Windows 8. I got the machine with no OS installed and slapped on Windows 7. All drivers available on the product page at MSI.com
