Man..

Hmm... how is it so far? Why don't you take out the HDD and back it up first on another computer before doing any refresh and what not? At least that way you will still have the data.

Relax bro, mine was like that the first time I bought it.Let it boot 2-3 times.Then It'll boot Windows back.My power button also shifted from orange to blue continuosly.

Warranty is warranty.Replacement of parts is free in warranty period but not labour charges. It's the same thing like me servicing my Pajero Sport, 3 years warranty with free replacement of parts if got problem, but as for labour, we still have to pay.

For me i feel the backpack is better than Lenovo
anyhow, it's quite comfortable for what i would say.

I think the bag is acceptable, just that the padding isn't thick enough to accommodate a lot of items especially those that are heavy.But hey, it's a free bag. :-)

the freebag of GS70 is made by cotton. I felt the material abit thick, not bad i would say (ngam my taste )

I feel like selling back my GE60-2OC and get the GS70 or GT60 instead. Didn't reach a month yet.Lol.

hmm hello we would be having lunch or dinner(hilton) if you would sold me GT70... hmm guess that honnor go to Jackywong.. lol

x
never purchase lenovo so cannot compare... but i can compare with Asus G series... and MSI bagpack lost... msi bagpack feel un-comfy to wear or maybe just because im too obese... hmm but not comfy...

yes the look GS70 bagpack do match like design gs70.... bagpack come GT70 looklike school bag...

not if you buy ASUS... i know i own one this also same Alienware....

it say 3-4 times faster in ping latency... but maybe in game meanwhile download/upload still same...

gosh .... well at least they still keep the design

Hey, I'll bite. Make me an offer.

@zzloo: Can you confirm if the GS70 has an i7-4700MQ or an i7-4700HQ?

Pmed you the price.I can haggle a little bit.The GS70 is with HQ. Checked youtube. Find Xotic PC.

That's what I read too, and I also watched a review by GenTechPC. Problem is several sellers here list it as an MQ and it wouldn't be the first time local specs differ from the ones overseas. Since zzloo has an actual GS70, I was hoping he could settle the question.

Heh. I should have waited and DID THIS. I refreshed it anyway and got everything nuked from orbit Aliens style. Clearly the recovery image had been customised by MSI: it was exactly like it first came, bloat and all.

On the other hand, the refresh tool really did refresh everything from square one except for:

A) Stuff in your user folder (Yay my New Vegas saves!).
B) Stuff you DID NOT install in Program Files (which is weird lol). I lost the registry entries for these programs (installed in C: root) so I need to reinstall anyway, but at least the save files are safe.

Maybe next time I refresh I should do a "recimg" and create my own personalised recovery image to make things easier.

Damn, it was Windows update for sure. I just installed the SAME update I installed the last time, now the computer is refusing to boot AGAIN. It's stuck in the SAME blue/orange light bootloop like the last time.

This time I'm just gonna try waiting it out. Sigh.

Oh Win8 Y U NO LIEK ME?
