A review of the MSI GT-60 2PC Dominator

 

Well I wrote a review before but I wanted to touch up on it a bit more because I had only been using the laptop for a few weeks. I left MSI after using their A-5000 laptop (Ages ago) and came onto a Dell XPS 15 for a while, I was then looking for an...

Manual Fan Boost (For heavy gaming) ; Great FPS on games and 3D design software ; Backlit SteelSeries keyboard ; Fast processing

Fan tends to be loud (Wear headphones and you are fine) ; Bit heavy and thick ; Windows 8! (see thoughts) ; Driver issues (Microphone (see thoughts!))

Great No Frills PSU

 

I am disappointed with this MSI laptop. I have been purchasing their equipment for more than a decade and this is one of the first disappointment I had with their product. My model is GT60-660 not GT60-424. Mine has i7-4810 (vs i7-4800) and 12gb (vs...

Performance to size ratio ; performance to price ratio ; 2 hdd slot ; built in DVD (well I guess you can get one for $20 now) ; keyboard quality ; 2 year warranty

build quality suffer in this version (more on this) ; fan is noisy as ever ; where is the Esata port ; 3 displays (4 total)? Why

MSI GT60 Dominator-424

 

I dislike Win8.1. I spent ten minutes using it and decided to install Win7 (as opposed to paying to make Win8.1 like Win7). I purchased a Samsung 840 PRO with this laptop to use as the main drive. When I went to install the SSD I couldn't find an MSI...

Hardware is far beyond the competition ; MSI actually offers a 15" laptop with good hardware ; The backlit keyboard is versatile and interesting, although on the grand scheme not that important ; The 5000RPM fan button is useful for resource intensive...

This is a large laptop in terms of width. Make no mistake, this is nowhere near something like a Macbook or Air. On top of that it has the largest AC adapter I have ever seen, the unit is legitimately the size of a brick, which of course is needed to...

Won't Work with Some Software in 8.1 or Windows 7

 

If you are not going to use this with multiple users or get software conflicts like trying to use an Internet Security software that Win 8.1 does not like or let update, as we found, it should run. BUT it is a LOT of $$$ to gamble with. I DO NOT...

Fast, great video card, has backlit keyboard, GREAT MACHINE ! on paper ; The tech support at MSI was great, courteous, and professional, but they couldn't help us make it run

8.1 windows sucks. Couldn't update internet security software or log on to more microsoft accounts because 8.1 only recognizes owner, or is so difficult to change user that it is defective ; Tried loading two different copies of Windows 7 because one...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

poor quality

 

Most likely I just got a lemon, and like I said when its working it runs games amazingly, but that many issues with a computer that is less than a week old is a no go for me. Only reason it got 2 eggs is the quality of keyboard screen.

It most defiantly runs games like a champ solid frames on everything I played on ultra settings. Keyboard, and screen res really nice

And this list is growing each day. When I unboxed it (Wednesday) I found a loose screw in the box it was from one of the three that hold the back on near the gpu cpu area. The back didn't seem to be loose but I could not put screw back in as the female...

I recommend MSI

 

Two thing to keep in mind. 1) This thing is rather large. Don't expect a slim, lightweight laptop. Make sure you read the dimensions and weight specs. This is a beast. Also keep in mind that it gets loud if you start doing some serious crunching. Keeps...

I just wanted to take a moment to recommend MSI laptops. I don't actually own this specific laptop, but I do own last year's model which is equivalent, the GT60 2OC-022US http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152404 ; This is...

Not as powerful as a desktop, obviously, but just about as good as it gets in a laptop
