Reviews for the MSI GS70-2QE-062RU

80% MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro Red Edition review
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
MSI’s latest laptop impresses in several key departments. Its GTX 970M is one of the more powerful mobile cores we’ve seen, and it’s bolstered by lots of memory, great storage and a bright, rich screen. It’s got punchy speakers, and an excellent keyboard. MSI’s machine doesn’t have the raw power of the Gigabyte, but its GTX 970M is still an exceptional GPU – and it’s backed up by strong components elsewhere, a great keyboard and reasonable thermal performance. It’s expensive, but the Stealth Pro is a well-balanced machine that excels in several key areas. If you’ve got the cash, this red-hot notebook is an excellent gaming portable.

Comment

Model: Claimed as the thinnest and lightest gaming laptop, the MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro is a powerful gaming solution that weighs in at just 2.7 kg. Alike all MSI gaming laptops, the MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro comes in full black and sports the familiar full-size SteelSeries keyboard with LED backlight and the SteelSeries engine, which allows the user to customize every key. The display cover is simple and elegant with brushed aluminium and a fancy gaming series logo. Display on the laptop is a 17 inch FHD anti-glare panel which produces superb image quality.

The MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro's hardware consists of a 4th generation Intel Core-i7 4710HQ clocked at 2.5 GHz, up to 16 GB DDR3L 1600 MHz RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M 3 GB GDDR5 GPU. This makes the MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro a beast of a gaming laptop. The ability to pack in up to 768 GB Super RAID 2 and 1 TB HDD, make it a dream for many portable PC gamers out there.

Other features include Killer DoubleShot Pro Gb LAN, Killer DoubleShot Pro 11ac WLAN, Bluetooth 4.0, 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 mini-Display ports and a dual cooling solution. The audio quality is superb with Dynaudio with woofer and Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2 technology. There is a 5-cell Li-Polymer battery rated at 5400 mAh powering the laptop.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M:

Second fastest high-end graphics card based on the Maxwell GM204 chip from the GeForce GTX 900M series.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. 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.  


4710HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.5 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.


84.5%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
