Review on the GS70 (Specs may differ abit): http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-MSI-GS...k.102287.0.html

Pro

+ Matte and bright display
+ Full HD with high contrast ratio
+ Colored keyboard illumination
+ Good gaming performance
+ Quite light for a gaming notebook
+ Insanely fast SSD RAID system

Contra

- Very high temperatures
- High idle noise
So much for good temps laugh.gif

True, but keep in mind it is undergoing a stress test, and it is very unlikely to get those high temps in real life usage.

Sadly, due to the thin body, it does warm up fast under load sweat.gif

Lol.. Gaming is essentially a stress test too Haha laugh.gif
Will still get more or less the same temps I supposed. Probably a bit better if running on ssd hmm.gif

SSD could help the temps, but IMO not significantly. hmm.gif

You are right, though the effects on the external surface might be better depending on where the HDD/SSD is placed.
My M14x's left palm rest became comfortably cool after switching to SSD, best upgrade I've ever made haha  tongue.gif

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
*
Well, the stock MSATA is only 64GB*2, so probably he wants to upgrade a higher capacity. laugh.gif

Hey, i just recently bought the GS70.. cant help but to notice a rather noticeable clicking sound each time when i open the lappy's screen lid.. i know its not a big deal to some of u but just wanna find out if any other owners of the same model experience the same? could it be a manufacturing fault? cause its really affecting me.. = 3=

Hey there, welcome to the MSI family rclxms.gif

Perhaps you could try and ask here. We do have a few GS70 owners, they could share their experience smile.gif
