Introduction
MSI has really outdone themselves recently with their stealth series of gaming laptops! While most seventeen inch laptops have a reputation of being clunky and back breaking, the GS70 proves all of these stereotypes wrong and then some. Asus take note please. Everyone’s first interaction with the GS70 goes something like this:
“That thing is huge!”
*Walks over and picks it up*
“Whoa, how is this so light and thin!?”
That was our reaction anyway when we fondled this thin monster for the first time. This laptop is more than just a review sample, it’s also my current daily driver as I travel a lot. I’ll be doing the regular tests done in reviews but I will also be including my long term thoughts
