I think you see wrongly, it in the 1st post.

ooooooooh yeah I think you're right. Was basing it on the specs I saw in the USA websites

 

[shadey]

pre-order until what day ah?

You mean ODD or HDD?
It is already configured with 750GB + 128GB SSD.

Opps..sorry didnt read the specs properly. Thanks.

 

[johnsonheng]

Did msi change the colour of the main body? I just noticed it's more of a black/dark grey now to match the lid while the computex model had a silver mody

Now it looks even more like a Razer Blade (while I guess the computex version looks like Asus N series)

That looks huge somehow. Either the keyboard is smaller than the norm, or the chassis is bigger than the norm. In comparison with my Chronos 7, the keyboard takes up at least 60 to 65 percent of the chassis, but in the pic here, there seems to be a lot of space on top of the keyboard, despite a big touch pad as well. My X17 seems pretty packed as compared to this as well.

Nothing mention about the screen. How is the quality?

I tried the GS40 and the plastic feeling is bad. I hope the keyboard on GS70 is way better.

Would be a shame for this thing to have bad battery life considering the GT series reputation for long battery life by gaming notebook standard. The portability of a notebook is not just about the weight and size but battery life too.

Battery life is quite good according to MSI.
It should last around 4 hours on HD video playback.

6 cells battery actually consider quite good for slim models already.

So that's 2x256GB SSD in RAID?

No. It is 2x128GB = 256GB in RAID 0 config...

 

[PC_Dreams]

pre-order until what day ah?

While stock last. Left 2 units.
Subsequent batch coming in end of Aug. Will be 2x64GB version.
Please sms to JieHao 96711555 to pre-order for faster response.

The GS70 is using steel series keyboard. So it is a well spaced, ergonomically designed keyboard will good tactile feel.
