MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro Red Edition

High-end Nvidia graphics sit inside MSI's bold and brash GS70 gaming notebook

Extremely good gaming performance ; Rapid storage ; Good screen quality ; Slim, light design ; Great keyboard

There's a faster gaming rival ; Middling colour accuracy ; Brash red exterior

Sound Blaster’s Cinema 2 software is installed, and we improved the aural landscape by turning the bass up a little – it brought a tad more balance to the range.

MSI GS70 Stealth review

Is this the perfect gaming notebook?

Haswell processor ; powerful Nvidia graphics ; bright, high-quality screen ; great keyboard ; stunning design

Rivals slightly quicker ; average battery life ; average colour accuracy ; no optical drive ; expensive

The MSI GS70 marries style and substance: plenty of power and a great screen crammed inside a chassis that's thinner, lighter and better-looking than most of its rivals. If you want a machine that's powerful and portable - and you have £1,679 - the MSI...

MSI GS70 Stealth review

Desktop replacement laptops are traditionally heavy and bulky units, but MSI aims to banish convention with its MSI GS70 Stealth. It might have a 17in full-HD screen, a quad-core Intel processor and a discrete nVidia graphics processor, but it's all...

The MSI GS70 Stealth combines style and substance to stunning effect, with huge power levels inside a chassis that's slimmer and smarter than any other gaming laptop. The 17in screen still means this laptop isn't exactly portable, though, and the high...

MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro Review

We take a look at MSI's super-sleek 17in gaming laptop with has a GTX 970M and RAID SSDs

If anything you could consider the MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro to be a slightly strange laptop. It sports a large 17in screen and isn't particularly portable, yet MSI has focussed intently on reducing its profile. If we were making a 17in laptop, we'd...

MSI GS70 2OD-Stealth 17.3 inch Laptop Review

Today we look at one of the thinnest gaming laptops available on the market. The MSI GS70 Stealth is an aluminum design only 2.2cm thick and weighing less than 2.6kg. Inside is an Intel Core i7 4700HQ...

lovely thin chassis design ; adjustable backlit keyboard ; good screen ; excellent keyboard ; Haswell processor is a powerhouse ; class leading SSD performance ; decent battery life ; Nvidia GTX765M is capable

onboard sound is average ; gets hot ; not the cleanest software install

We tested with The BluRay Disc of The Hobbit: An UnExpected Journey.

MSI GS70 laptop review

MSI's GS70 is an interesting gaming machine, with a very slight nod towards portability thanks to its thin profile, at least as far as gaming laptops are concerned. There's plenty of grunt under the multicoloured Steel Series keyboard, although that...

Great gaming performance ; Plenty of storage ; Slim for a 17 inch gaming laptop

Serious heat issues ; Poor battery life ; No touchscreen

Every gaming laptop manufacturer will have its Skylake products either for sale right now or for sale very soon; even MSI fits this bill with multiple gaming-centric laptops offering Skylake right now. That's an important caveat, because the MSI GS70...

The MSI GS70 Stealth is a light gaming laptop that packs a punch

The MSI GS70 is one of the thinnest and lightest full-power 17-inch gaming laptops we've tested.

The MSI GS70 Stealth looks great, for a gaming laptop, and combines powerful hardware and a generous HDD/SSD combo into a slim body.

Gaming performance is a step down from the very top of the line, despite the high price. The lack of a touch screen makes it harder to use as an everyday Windows 8 laptop. Despite loud fans, the GS70 gets very hot when gaming.

Making small performance trade-offs to fit into a slim, attractive 17-inch body, the MSI GS70 Stealth is a gaming laptop for those who hate the look of gaming laptops.

MSI GS70 Stealth (GS70 2OD-002US)

The MSI GS70 Stealth (GS70 2OD-002US) is a solid ultraportable gaming laptop, but even with good performance and battery life, it's a close race with the competition.

Long battery life for a gaming laptop. Slim design. Includes a SteelSeries keyboard optimized for gaming. Lovely 1,920-by-1,080 display with anti-glare finish.

Generic design is fairly conservative.

Conclusion The MSI GS70 Stealth (GS70 2OD-002US) demonstrates just how far the ultraportable gaming scene has come along since the Razer Blade (2012) first brought an ultraportable design to gaming machines. The portability and battery life is...
