My system cannot be restarted but always need to use power on/off to start.
Shut down is ok.
What program can I use to diagnose this issue?

It looks like one of my previous wishes of a 15-inch form factor slim gaming notebook has materialised at last. Back then I commented that too many people wanted to follow Razer Blade literally down to the screen size (and the GS70 was almost completely a Blade clone in appearance), when 17.3" makes the portability of a slim gaming notebook more 'bottlenecked' by length/width rather than weight. I guess Razer took 2 years to realise this (hence the 14-inch blade) good to see MSI is diversifying beyond 17 inch too.

This laptop was teased at CES but more coverage is starting to appear.

MSI gaming laptop packs next-gen NVIDIA graphics and '3K' display into Ultrabook thickness

Only thing is they haven't confirmed the GPU inside yet though. Interested to see how it can handle their '3k' display

It was just shown at ceBIT 2014, think they said April or May but no idea when singapore will get.

Too bad aftershock doesn't use MSI barebones like some of the US vendors such as Maingear who have their own rebranded GS70

Aftershock only uses Clevo barebones so far. :)

For the new GS60 (at least this is model name we thought MSI will use), probably around Aug - Sep 2014 period from some rumours we heard about. ;)

Thanks in advance

Althought MSI is definietly value for money, the issue is build quality and firmware issues. My ex-GS70 display turn red just after 3 month and send it in for repair. :s22:

most 1st-generation products always have one issue or another that is often only resolved in newer product iterations, i recall there was some keyboard lighting issues for the GS70 too back then. Hopefully the GS60 design has improved the secondary qualities rather than simply being a smaller GS70 with updated processors.

I don't get why the small razer blade 14 uses a 100+w tdp 870m while the bigger blade pro uses the 860m..
