Repasting the sucker will make it run slightly cooler too, especially when I know for a FACT that the MSI factory can't really paste procs and GPUs worth sheet lol - they always end up using FAR TOO MUCH of the stuff.

That said, 88 and 85 are good numbers indeed for such a thin laptop. Any battery life numbers under the stress test?

Something tells me the NBC guys are getting shittily pasted MSI thin and lights. Their GE40/DT14 could cook egg as well.

With that said, 3 hours on WIFI? Ugh. Guess the bright huge arse HD display + illuminated keyboard + twin fans = watt sucker. Well, it wasn't pitched to be a endurance champ to begin with, but now at least I'm a lot less butthurt with the GS70 lol.

If the GS60 comes with a 7 hour battery life later, THEN you'll see me with a wounded backside.

Why not the GE40? Even if you don't repaste it (which helps, but is not essential). just turn off Turbo Boost - you don't really need it much - and it doesn't really get THAT hot. You get a 760 + i7 + great battery life for below 4k (3.7k street price). Add another 8GB RAM or 128 SSD and you're all set for 4k.

Alternatively the Illegear RE15 - but mind the "static in speakers" issue now being brought up by some of the users.

The GE60... well... UNLESS you need Full HD and 15', IMHO the GE40 is better as the GE60 GETS HOT ANYWAY and has worse battery life, especially the 765 version. The display is better looking on the GE60 however.

As for 765 vs 675, they are for all intents and purposes, nearly equal.

Then why not the Illegear RE15 or the GS70? IINM the GS70 has a better screen and both have about the same temps and battery life anyway - unfortunately it's slighty out of 4k.

The GE60 is fine... just that battery life is A BIT on the horrible side because it actually has a smaller battery than the GE40 + bigger screen + more powerful components.

Yep. Get extra warranty, it's on-site and 3 years of people coming to you to fix your stuff is heaven.
