Reviews for the MSI GT70-0ND-444US

80% MSI GT70 0ND-444US 17.3-inch Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Thanks to MSI's supplying of their chassis to other companies, the GT70 isn't as much of a standout 17-inch gaming system as it could be. The chassis itself offers some nice features including an anti-glare screen and some solid base performance. What MSI does to differentiate itself though is provide a bit more including a Blu-ray drive that most companies ignore.

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.
