The Windows 8.1 operating system, considered outdated by some, could also pose a problem for users preferring more recent versions. In summary, the MSI GT70 2PC Dominator is a powerful and high-performing laptop, ideal for gaming and heavy applications, but it has some limitations in terms of portability and connectivity.
