Whao... this is call a REVIEW? then what does those 30 min videos about the whole laptop.

With this form factor, gaming performance is not the question. The question is the heat sink. How is the heat sink? That is what mostly gamer are seeking the answer on every gaming laptop

im not an owner of GS70, it was my customer whom last time entrusted me to run a stress test on his GS70 after the purchase and had one day overnight at my home to complete the stress test. my first hands on the GS70 about the temperature is pretty good although it is pretty thin. under Unigine Heaven 4.0 run, the CPU can go up to 88C (not undervolted) max and the GPU goes up to 85C max. pretty good on a thin sized laptop. once you undervolted the CPU, you can get better results.

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

My biggest issue is screen quality. Asus has that new n55 for 3.8k with fhd ips. This one packs more juice but i also do photo editing, which makes better screens a big deal

my only suggestion is before buying a laptop, you should go out and feel, molest, type, held and do whatever you like to the laptop (do some gaming test too if games provided).

my 1st hands on the GS70 is that the TN screen on GS70 can equally match an IPS screen but there are some colour bleed at the side.

Hi there,

For those already owned GS70 Stealth, I want to ask one question. The SSDs, can it be removed and replaced with other SSDs of our choice? Of course we have to buy 2 new SSDs to replace the existing ones. Anyone already opened the back cover and see the SSDs?

Thanx!

yes it is possible, and keep in mind it is mSATA size. but why do you want to replace the the stock mSATA SSD while the stock mSATA SSD runs perfectly? hmm.gif
