MSI GS70 STEALTH-280 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop

I got the laptop and everything on it is AMAZING. Very powerful, running any game I load at top quality smoothly and quickly. Only problem I've encountered is it won't read the 1TB HDD, so I have to save everything onto the 128gig SDD. Clearly it is filling very quickly. Will try finding a solution and update my review when availableEDIT: I found windows just didn't read it during the initial boot. The HDD is now up and running, and i can't find any other flaw with the product. Changing my rating to 5 star

I bought a refurbished one. It started BSOD within a week. Took me a while to figure out what was the cause and surprisingly it had nothing to do with being refurbished. The Killer Network thing (driver? management application? I forgot) that comes pre-installed with the computer is bugged and caused the BSOD. I uninstalled it and just used native windows network drivers. Worked fine since then.Battery life is horrific. Tried gaming on the road. Played "Life is Strange" and it lasted 45 minutes before dying. I know gaming takes up a lot of power, but I was hoping it would last at least an hour. It didn't.

Computer itself is great. The trackpad is a disaster and sometimes scrolls or right clicks when you aren't trying to. Called MSI and they said the drivers don't work properly with windows 10. The trackpad is almost completely useless sometimes.

Good computer, I like it.The temperature of the CPU and GPU is always under the 55 degrees centigrade at the condition of common usage. The backlight of the keyboard is so beautiful. The sound effects of Dynaudio is so good.

This is the first MSI laptop I have owned and is quite possibly the best so far. Performance is great. It has taken everything I have thrown at it (GTAV and The Witcher 3). I also use it for photo and video editing on a daily basis and for work.Only con so far is the heat it expels. It's HOT. And this isn't really a con. Great design makes sure the heat is removed. Just make sure you buy a laptop cooler!

Touchpad became unresponsive within a week. Was constantly trying to zoom in and out. If you are going to use this without an external mouse/controller you are going to be in for a world of frustration. I had it running games perfectly fine at max settings, but then when it came to browsing the internet with the built in touch pad I struggled to do anything on the page unless I was wanting to make the font change sizes.

It's NOT a 15.6 inches. It's a 17 inches.

Received this item and the keyboard did not work! Returned immediately for a refund.

This is a 17.3" not a 15.6" excellent laptop and the new Maxwell GPU is powerful.
