The MSI GT70 Notebook

Welcome to a Laptep Adapter specialist of the Msi Ac Adapter

The MSI GT70 delivers unique looks and high performance in a package that is slightly less expensive than the Alienware 17.

MSI might not be the first name that comes to mind for most notebook gamers, but MSI has been one of the leading component manufacturers for gaming desktops for years. The MSI GT70 (GT70 2OD-039US) is the latest 17-inch notebook targeting PC gamers who want maximum performance and are willing to sacrifice a little portability to get it. What makes the GT70 particularly interesting (apart from the dragons emblazened on the exterior) is that inside it packs both a quad-core Intel Core i7-4700MQ processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M graphics for some absolutely stunning performance.

We use Powermark in the “Balanced” mode; running the laptop with a combination of automated web browsing, word processing, video playback, and gaming workloads. This gives gives our readers an easy way to duplicate our findings at home and it pushes laptop manufacturers to deliver better battery life for “real life” use and not just light web browsing with the laptop essentially idle.

The MSI GT70 ran Powermark with adapter like Averatec 1020 90W Ac Adapter, Averatec 5200 90W Ac Adapter, LG P300 90W Ac Adapter, LG M1 Ac Adapter, LG LW60 Ac Adapter, LG R200 Ac Adapter, LG W1 Ac Adapter, MSI M510 Ac Adapter, MSI PR620 Ac Adapter, MSI VR610 Ac Adapter, MSI X480 Ac Adapter, MSI S250 Ac Adapter in Balanced mode for only 1 hour and 3 minutes using the included 9-cell battery. That obviously isn’t very impressive by modern standards, but is close to the average for a 17-inch gaming notebook. Sure, the 9-cell battery inside the GT70 is larger than most laptop batteries, but this is also a larger notebook packed with significantly more hardware. For purposes of comparison we’ve included results from several other gaming PCs that we’ve tested. If we were to use our old battery life test (which basically leaves the laptop idle and refreshing a website every 60 seconds) this laptop would probably deliver around 6 hours of battery life with the screen dimmed and without playing games.

If you’re looking for a well-equipped 17-inch gaming notebook that delivers good bang for your bucks (all $2,699 of them) then the MSI GT70 deserves serious consideration.

This premium configuration of the GT70 has more than enough graphics horsepower for serious gamers. The only time you might find the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M graphics lacking is if you demand high frame rates while gaming with high detail settings stretched on multiple monitors … but that’s what desktop PCs are for.

If you want an awesome game play experience and can live with the flaming dragons then the MSI GT70 delivers the goods. The only real complaints we had are the average screen brightness and limited viewing angles combined with poor-to-average battery life for a 17-inch gaming notebook.
