More importantly, PICTARSSSSSS!

Is the chassis aluminum or plastic?

EDIT: The first owner review of the GS70 courtesy of HWZ: http://bit.ly/19cXWsq

3 hours GAMING on battery WTF. With a 4700 proc no less! Now I REALLY JELLY! Heatwise seems similar to the GE40 - Procs get to 95c under load.

No mention of the chassis materials though, looks like plastic.

With that kind of body size, should be able to have quite a big battery pack inside.

I got the basic model which is 8gb ram + 750gb hdd.
I added 8gb DDR3L and Plextor 128GB M5M myself


It's a mix between aluminum and plastic, overall very nice. Pics in HWZ cause I was too lazy to take pics... Just took out and unassembled.......

internet and playing around on high performance mode gave over 4.5 hours

It occupied about 1/3 the deep and 2/3 the width

can remove the battery?

i7-4700MQ, 8GB+4GB, Super Raid 128GB SSD (64GB*2 SSD mSATA3)+750GB (SATA) 7200rpm, nvidia GTX765 Graphics 2GB, W8 for 5499 the price is just OMG competition for razer blade

Battery life is pretty decent. Must be quite a high capacity pack in it. That's one giant power brick. At least for people like @Eiraku it won't fry, eh?

Yeah, for the price it's pretty impressive. Unlike the GE40 which had some compromises, this one seems to be top calls the whole way through, the works. All that's missing is the GTX780.

i think the seller msg me wrong spec lol, he msg me the 5499 spec instead of 4699 thought nice with ssd still at 4699

Yes that spec is 5499, i was wondering how you get it so cheap

OI...

Anyhows, I'm very jelly. If only there was a GS40, than I'll totally RAGE...

Negative. It's built in type

Video review of the GS70:

http://youtu.be/QaLbVTs2B5k

Only bad thing about the GS70 (other than the built in battery) is the fact that NOTHING seems user upgradable/moddable. The guy in the video above says that opening the chassis can result in twisting the entire thing apart.

A small price to pay for the slimness, of course. But for tinkerers like me, I'll go nuts not being able to adjust anything in the laptop lol.

Hopefully, however, this will entice A LOT of newcomers to the MSI camp. Looks like a great mix of size, mobility and performance indeed.

GS70 STILL look sexy! hmm maybe i get that for my spare/comparison with GT70...

hav you try 4K video output?

don't have any 4k device


i added msata n ddr3l myself...

GS70 is so tempting. How long is the warranty period? Is it local unit or imported?

wont void the warranty by adding msata ssd right?

RAM I know won't void. Storage also SHOULD be okay but please check with the MSI Careline first.

@Cimo: All Malaysian sets bro, none of them imported AP crap for MSI lappies YET (unless you import them yourself... ehem, ehem). Warranty is TWO years, and the first year is international warranty (even if you DID import it in, the first year warranty still stands). My experience with MSI services (subcontracted to E-Mantainance) have also has been okay so far, a bit slow-ish but they get the job done satisfactorily, especially if you have access to the main service branch in Kelana Square PJ.

My issue was small though ("apparent" AC adapter death) and it might take a week or more if your "issue" is serious enough that it involves exchange of laptop parts because E-M has to order the parts from MSI direct.

Just in case you were wondering how MSI service is locally for their laptops.
