Editorial note

The MSI Classic CX70 is a laptop that offers solid performance thanks to its Intel® Core™ i5-3230M processor, allowing for smooth execution of daily tasks and demanding applications. With a frequency of up to 3.2 GHz, this model ensures a satisfactory user experience. The 17.3-inch screen with a HD+ resolution (1600 x 900 pixels) provides a pleasant display quality, although some users may find this resolution insufficient for high-definition content. However, the weight of 2700 g can make the laptop less convenient to carry, especially for those who need frequent mobile use. Additionally, the internal memory of only 4 GB may limit the multitasking experience, particularly for users wishing to run multiple memory-intensive applications simultaneously. The storage capacity of 750 GB on a hard drive is generous, but the rotation speed of 5400 RPM can lead to slower loading times compared to modern SSDs. In terms of connectivity, while the model has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the lack of USB 3.0 ports and other advanced options may restrict data transfer speeds and compatibility with recent peripherals. In summary, the MSI Classic CX70 offers good value for money with appreciable performance for everyday tasks, but it could benefit from improvements in portability and connectivity to meet the expectations of modern users.
