MSI GT Series GT70 0ND-491US Notebook Intel Core i7 3630QM Review Well built and very good specs on this laptop. Nice design and build quality. Gets 7.0 Windows experience by using the dedicated Nvidia 675 graphics card. Overall, a very good machine. Backlit keyboard. About the same weight as my 4.5 year old Toshiba with 16" monitor. Battery shows about 2.5 hours of life; have not tested that time though. MSI GT Series GT70 0ND-491US Very cool running machine. This laptop is so awesome. I helped my dad get a new laptop and helped him decided on something worth the investment. This baby will do it all. I just got around to playing Defiance on it last night and wow it just screams with power. And the all pretty led lights and non glare screen make it even better to play in the dark. Make sure to turn on the extra fan blowers and then swipe your finger across that turbo turn on. This thing is sweet.
Cons: Price but you get what you pay for. Would be nice to have the wireless card run on the 5 GHZ band, as I could take advantage of the extra powerful ASUS router that has 5G Wi-Fi. Keyboard key size will take getting used to for big fingered persons like me. I am still getting used to it so a grain of salt here.
Other Thoughts: If you can afford it, you cannot go wrong with this pc. Whether a gamer or just needing/wanting a high spec laptop, this is it.
