Reviews for the MSI GS70-2OD-021UK
MSI GS70 Stealth review
Source: Techradar
The MSI GS70 is a fantastic marriage of style and substance: plenty of power and a great screen crammed inside a chassis that's thinner, lighter and better-looking than most of its rivals. Heavy, staid machines such as the Schenker XMG P703 are better for pure power, but if you want a machine that's powerful and portable - and you can afford the £1,679 price tag - the MSI GS70 is a contender.

MSI GS70 Stealth review - powerful gaming laptop surprisingly thin and light
Source: PC Advisor
The MSI GS70 Stealth combines style and substance to stunning effect, with huge power levels inside a chassis that's slimmer and smarter than any other gaming laptop. The 17in screen still means this laptop isn't exactly portable, though, and the high price puts it out of reach for most gamers. If you can afford £1679 and like your laptops to make a statement as well as play any game around, the MSI excels in every important department.

MSI GS70 2OD-Stealth 17.3 inch Laptop Review
Source: Kitguru
The MSI GS70 2OD-Stealth is one of the most impressive laptops that we have tested in 2013. It can handle a myriad of tasks without a hitch, including gaming, heavy duty 3D rendering and video encoding. In regards to MSI GS70 Stealth performance, we were exceptionally impressed with the processing capabilities. The powerful Intel Core i7 4700HQ processor is right at the top of the mobile performance chart and the score in Cinebench R11.5 is actually higher than the reference clocked 8 core AMD FX8350 desktop processor. This is remarkable and showcases current generation Haswell performance.

MSI GS70 Review
Source: Laptop Mag
These days the question with gaming laptops isn't how low you can go, but how thin. The $1,999 MSI GS70 offers good overall performance, solid battery life, and a lovely 1080p display in a svelte design. However, some beefier rigs outclass this one in terms of graphics and audio performance.

MSI GS70 Stealth Gaming Laptop Review
Source: Hardwareheaven
So it's pretty clear from the design and target audience of the GS70 Stealth that MSI are aiming to take on and beat the Razer Blade, right? Well lets cut right to it... they have more than exceeded their goal on that front. The Blade is a really nice system but MSI have done really well to pack in a more powerful CPU and GPU combination in the GS70 and do so with a thinner body and lighter overall build.

The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
