The system arrives in a plain brown box with just the MSI badge visible.

Inside, the MSI box itself – very dramatic with a red dragon highlighted on the black surface.

MSI bundle a protective carrying case with the laptop, which is certainly a welcome addition – especially for lan gamers who will be carrying this around with them on a regular basis.

The bundle includes literature on the product, along with a software disc and power adapter with regional plug. The power brick is substantial, but not the biggest we have seen in recent years. It will work worldwide and it rated 19.5V 6.15A.

The laptop is protected inside a black bag, and inside this is another white protective cover – all with matching MSI logos.

  1. A GTX770M would have been a better option for this machine. love it though!

  2. Its a great looking machine, I still think the Razer blade looks better, but the hardware in this is better. Blade doesnt have RAIDO SSDs for instance.

  3. Love the design myself – not sure I would compare the appearance with an Apple (yuk) but I do get the point. Apple were making their big laptops all the one depth from front to back for years while PC makers had a thin front and then a 2 inch back near the processor!

    Good to see them catching up.

  4. I Love It

  5. There’s no way it took less than 10 minutes to encode a 2 hour long 720p video file. I’m guessing all you did was change containers from MKV to MP4. No encoding there. Now I would really like to see some actual encoding benchmarks. Like maybe taking an untouched Bluray movie and encoding it at crf 23 and 720p with MeGui?

  6. Yes its a good point :3, but this test is more for a person who already has a high definition movie file on a drive and wants to ‘convert’ to a portable player. its a common task – but yes you are right, it would be interesting to also include a ‘full on’ raw disc to encoded file on a drive. Thanks for the feedback.

  7. Is the OS installed on the SSD(s) or the HDD?

  8. Need your help PLEASEEEE!!!, I dont Play 3d Movies in my MSI GS70 for hdmi in my TV SAMSUNG UN7500 SMART TV 3D, WHY NOT?????

  9. Excellent review and has helped me tremendously in making my purchase decision. Thank you for being so thorough. Especially regarding heat and noise.
