Gaming laptop is not known for their gentle design . Within and without , it is big , flashy system , and the MSI GT70 0NE - 276US ( $ 2,599.99 direct ) is no exception . Its large chassis is filled to the gills with features , like a multicolored SteelSeries backlit keyboard , a Blu - ray burner , and a dazzling 17.3 - inch 1080p display . Moreover, its equally amazing specs churned through our benchmark tests with vitality . However , its performance fell short of other gaming laptops in the same price range . It is a system worth checking out , but better choices are out there .
Like most laptop - grade gaming enthusiasts , the GT70 sports a striking , over- the- top design . The chassis weighs 8.37 pounds and measures 17.02 by 11.34 by 16.85 inches ( HWD ) , so not exactly the easiest system to carry around . If you do carry it around , however , you'll likely receive a bevy of Glory massive system hidden under your arm , as the GT70 ' sports a decoration , consisting of a plastic body sporting a brushed aluminum lid eye and palm rest , .

Although most of your attention will undoubtedly be directed toward the lovely keyboard , the touchpad and mouse buttons with it , meanwhile , works well and provide excellent tactile feedback .
Gaming is obviously a visually intensive experience , and the GT70 's matte - finished 17.3 - inch 1,920 -by - 1 , 080 display that delivers with aplomb. During use , it is hard not to admire the crisp colors and deep , inky blacks . Also , it looks fantastic video playback , especially when you toss a Blu - ray disc Blu - ray burner GT70 's . Yes , you read that correctl - the GT70 's built - in optical drive can also write Blu - ray discs , a singular feature that sets it apart from other systems in its class , such as the Alienware M17x R4 , for example, can play Blu - ray but only burn DVDs . By dual metal speaker grilles visible directly under the display and a built - in subwoofer , audio is pumped out at relatively loud volumes thanks to a further help them by THX TruStudio Pro software .
