MSI Gaming Series GT70 0ND-646NL

After a broken Alienware m17x I thought MSI go again MSI has always been a bit considering my fanboy brand without a doubt, I started with a GX660 and MSI graphics cards :) This is a review from a gamer / designer 's side without much tweaking experience! 17 inch for me is a must-have if game design student. I am someone who travels a lot on location and have no fixed workplace. Desktop was therefore not an option for heavy to carry, let alone beautiful games and try out their own work in 3D work caught my eye the MSI GT70 and the ASUS G75W similar specs and both are very well known for building quality. After some brainstorming, I went to the GT70 0ND because CD ROMland Breda when lying around for me (very good store with excellent service and payment options anyway ) Receipt What first struck me was a sturdy box that I could travel, MSI easy been doing this for a while and you therefore have no problem in the car, public transport and even on the bike if you have a bike basket can easily meekrijgen him! Once unzipped you get the notebook with driver CD and handy Windows 8 instruction sheets in a separate bag, this seems common for any notebook, so nothing fancy some versions and models get a handy backpack, unfortunately, when it is not the case. Overall Solid sample, MSI usual plastic casing. This seems to me a personal taste, but the GT70 is very light to wear and plastic makes a fine rest for your gaming hands while typing /. Fingerprints are even with a bright light difficult to see! Personal taste in material further course design but technically I do not see any disadvantage. Achievements offered very fast while it still runs on a 750GB HDD (max 25 sec). Processor and graphics are excellent without hitches or seize showers. Crysis 3 remains wonderfully between 60-65 FPS depend on complex media processor killers like Supreme Commander, Sword of the Stars and Civilization also no problems with it. Game performance is impressive for a notebook, making its name! 3Dsmax often started slowly on older machines, here a lot faster. Windows 8 caused problems with 3ds first, an update of Nvidia verholp this quickly. Render speeds are very fast, I'm used to only be able to render. Complete animations through desktops Rendering with Mental Ray and heavy resolutions are no problem for the notebook remains below 68 degrees and its hardware, the designer does not disappoint! Ergonomics The SteelSeries keyboard is a known point of MSI notebooks, high quality and very robust. Lovely feel the unique material and the WASD keys are in a good distance. The part of the front casing of the laptop (next touchpad) offers a fine sense of my hands to rest while playing games. layout of buttons, sense of touch pad and the steelseries keyboard are a good luxury for a mobile user, no disappointment! Audio Indispensable in games of course, audio is something on laptops can differ greatly, I notice myself. The GT70 has a pair of Dynaudio speakers and a small subwoofer on the bottom. The quality of this set is very good for a notebook, beats in my opinion not the XPS series with JBL sound. Itself there are four audio jacks where the GT70 offers enough space for your own ideas to be a downside to report the installed audio drivers realtek are very annoying. When connecting an audio device you always get a pop up with options, which can sometimes happen irritating. The default installation of Windows 8 has problems during Windows updates had with the audio drivers (stuck during installation untill I had uninstalled the drivers) after the updates coming new drivers automatically through Windows and I had no more problems. Picture Like the beginning I reported earlier game studio and tried and had normal notebooks. My friend group also has several gaming notebooks which you can compare with it so fun. A noteworthy point where I see stand the GT70 is the screen and the casing around it. hinges are large and firm, typically an MSI design. The case is way too big and can have quite a rap, I have previously experienced with the GX660 this While viewing the GT70 with two comparable notebooks (Alienware M17X and Asus G75W, same video card) showed the spectrum still a hair better and be. moooier Especially bright colors while editing textures in Photoshop and 3D renders are worth noting. A good point for people who are very critical look at image Conclusion Years back I only heard that MSI is a cheap and bad brand was to take. I see only "top-notch" high-end products of the manufacturer this year I've come to say nothing really Although no comprehensive benchmark of experience as a tweaker done here, the GT70 is no disappointment and especially brute force as a real "mobile desktop personal" use. To further verify that this is a Geforce GTX675m and that there is a more expensive version with a 680m, I have nothing to complain!
