Size: GE70 Series | Windows 8.1 Verified Purchase
Very powerful laptop that works wonderfully. Specs that rival my mid-range desktop even. This has only solidified my opinion that MSI is the best brand for power in portable devices.

Few things I especially like about it:
-The button that turns the fans on turbo is really nice, gives me control and lets me keep the computer cooler when it should be
-While strictly a cosmetic novelty, the rainbow backlight on the keyboard is really cool
-It's a very powerful laptop, for example I manage 60fps on Crysis 2 on its Extreme setting with vsync on
-It's big and weighty, which I value in a laptop meant to be powerful

Few things that aren't so good:
-It comes with Windows 8.1
-The trackpad has the mouse buttons built into it instead of separate (why is this a trend?), which is terribly uncomfortable and makes a separate mouse basically mandatory
-The trackpad is also textured, has some grain going vertically so when moving your finger up and down it feels smooth, but rough going side-to-side. I don't know why they texture it at all, it's incredibly uncomfortable and makes the fingers sore quickly. There's really nothing good about this trackpad, buy a mouse with this laptop, or maybe at least some high-grit sandpaper to smooth out the trackpad
-The disk drive feels particularly flimsy
-It comes with Norton Internet Security pre-installed which was the very first thing I uninstalled when the overlong system setup was finished
-Seriously, Windows 8's interface in every way is such a massive step down from 7

Other Notes:
-The hard drive is separated into two partitions for some reason. That's not a bad thing, just weird.

I bought this laptop about six days ago from the MSI Amazon store. I got it at my door three days ago and have been running it through it's paces ever since. So far I have very very little to complain about and a lot that I absolutely love about this computer.

We'll start out with the only part I don't like about it. That is the trackpad. It is slightly grainy due to the texture. It has lines going vertically that make it a little annoying when you first use it. Like I said, I have had this for three days and have already gotten used to it.

Now for the neutral points.
-Larger in size than your average laptop, but this is a gaming laptop. So it's regular sized for that. This size comparison is coming from a 17.3 Toshiba Satellite. It's about half an inch larger in thickness.
-The button layout is different than a normal keyboard. The only thing that's harder to get used to is the arrow keys being so close together with everything else around it.
-The finish on the laptop does get dirty fast, so expect that. Plus to that is that it does clean extremely easy.
-The usb 3.0 ports on the left hand side are slightly close together. Only becomes an issue if you have larger usb cables. Only had a problem when connecting my ridiculously over sized hard drive cables.

And now for the awesome parts.
-First thing you notice about it is the keyboard. I was between this model and the model right below it but the keyboard was the deciding factor. The keys feel superb when you depress them and look awesome.
-The sound.... Lets just say these speakers pack a bigger punch than my Phillips tv while keeping the sound clarity.
-USB ports everywhere. Four in total they come in handy in ways I never thought possible.

So far, I love this laptop, has exceeded expectations. Ive only had it 1/2 a week at this point but.
Games It plays on Highest Graphics (online) with 0 frame rate issues.
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Spintires
Arma 3 (Maxed out, online, still get around 50 fps)
Starcraft II (Highest Graphics, Very impressive framerates)

Things i noticed other people said:
Does run toasty (Around 110 degrees after 1.5 hours of running games)
Didnt have to update Drivers
Nice 4k output.
HDMI works excellent and fast.
Im not one for fancy colors, but dang, this looks VERY nice.

It has outstanding high-end configuration (in the price range), however, the materials is really low quality and cheap,specially when I compare it with my MSI GS70-037. The boarder of the LCD panel is made of low quality plastic, and it was a little bit reshaped out of the box (check the attached image). I did not like the low quality LCD junctions on the corners. It is not sturdy, specially for 17 inches laptop, when the distance between two junctions is considerable. When you open the laptop lid, the loose feeling is really bad. Just check the LCD junctions on more high quality MSI products such as GS70 and GT72.
In few words, despite high end CPU and GPU, the build quality is obviously compromised to make it budget friendly machine.

I spent months researching laptops to replace my aging Toshiba Qosmio. I'm a Flight Simulator X addict and needed something with some power! Compared to my X505-870, my FSX frame rates have increased an average of about 30%. Great gaming system!
Not much crap-ware pre installed either (which is one of the reasons I've had 3 Toshibas), although I "upgraded" mine from Win 8 to Win 7 within a week of receiving it. Not that Win 8 is bad, but most of my "essential" software doesn't play well with v8.
Price was fantastic, too!
Keyboard feels comfortable,
Hands don't get hot.
Sound is above average.
Screen is very clear and vivid.
Not sure about the touchpad since I don't use it. I deactivate it so I don't keep hitting it with my thumbs when I don't want to. Wireless mouse is the way to go, IMO.
Haven't used the camera or microphone yet.
Plenty of USB ports.
Bluetooth connected to my Galaxy S5 with no problems.

I would definitely buy another!
