To test today, we are putting the machine through a variety of ‘real world’ situations, mirroring the real world usage of a potential customer.
One as a media movie lover on the move (wearing headphones), a person wanting to watch high definition media on a train journey or bus with screen brightness two notches from maximum.
Second as a businessman, with screen brightness around half way. Wireless was enabled. A mixture of checking, answering emails using Microsoft Office and editing pictures in Adobe Photoshop.
Lastly as a gamer, playing Tomb Raider until the machine turned itself off.
Battery life was a little disappointing. The internal battery is only rated 4640mAh and the machine uses a fast quad core Intel i7 processor, so in reality it would be a tall order to expect 5hours+.
where can i buy this????(plz respond)
Damn my MSI GS60 2PE for running at 90*C at full load and the WiFi card being awful!
Hi, thanks for the thorough review! Will you be testing the GS70 (Stealth Pro) with the 970M as well anytime soon?
Gret review, and good laptop, though to be honest, in my opinion a gaming laptop benefits very little from an SSD RAID configuration and the 3k screen. Those two things are adding a lot to the cost of the laptop and giving little value in return versus an alternative configuration with single SSD and FullHD.
Windows 8 is the problem not the wifi card.
