Editorial note

The MSI Gaming GS70 stands out for its powerful performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ processor, which ensures smooth execution of demanding applications and games. Its 17.3-inch Full HD display offers exceptional picture quality, ideal for gamers and multimedia content users. Additionally, the backlit keyboard allows for comfortable typing even in low-light environments, while the stereo audio system with built-in subwoofer guarantees an immersive sound experience. However, this model has some drawbacks. Its weight of 2660 g can make it more difficult to transport, limiting its portability for on-the-go use. The lack of a numeric keypad may also pose a problem for those who need quick input, especially for accounting tasks. Furthermore, since the battery life is not specified, one might worry that it is limited during prolonged use without access to a power outlet. Finally, the choice of Windows 8.1 as the operating system seems outdated and could affect the user experience. In summary, the MSI Gaming GS70 is a powerful and well-designed laptop, but it has limitations in terms of portability and features that may not suit all users.
