Hello, I have the entry level GS70 with a GTX 765M, i received this laptop as a gift 2 x-masses ago, it was bought from NCIX in Mister Sauga, i used it mostly for school (word processing, excel, AutoCAD, etc.), yes, it is complete overkill, i know. it was not gamed on too frequently, i have a desktop for that. i have a 17 inch laptop backpack for carrying it around. this computer was treated with respect. i am not telling you about all the pros because every other review talks about them, as for the cons: this is my experience. initially i noticed that the fans are very loud, i dismissed this because of the thinness, but it has always annoyed me. it is worth noting that this is during the winter in Ontario, it was -30 outside. there is back light bleed and a few dead pixels. the computer came with a considerable amount of crap ware. Battery life is 4 hours on a good day, average is 2. this is not good enough for school. 6 months in with normal use, the hard drive outright dies, i send it in for repair under warranty - comes back working as per usual. 20 months in, the keyboard stops responding, in and out of windows, i cannot get into the BIOS, when i plugged in an external keyboard it would work normally. i sent for repair under warranty - comes back working as per usual. i personally gave up on this computer as the battery life and size was an issue, and passed it on to my brother, i bought myself a UX305. 24 months in, when the computer was closed, the screen did not sit flush with the rest of the unit, i dismissed it as shotty build quality. as of typing this, the hinge has broke, the screen cannot be opened or shut without it making cracking noises. the bezel has come apart around the affected area. this has been my long term experience with a GS70, i am pretty sure that i received a lemon. MSI's warranty has been very good, both repairs were covered with no questions asked.

how much bloatware was on this machine???

NoScrypt casued for me in firefox nightly.

i really doubt it exists, and it would probability be a driver mess. i would like a keyboard that does not have a actuation point, it is not simply a on/off button, it would have analog switches that could useful for stuff like throttles, sprint speed, or pitch up/down in jets in games such as battlefield. haptic feedback could also be interesting.

i would like a keyboard with analog switches.

i use Transmission on a Ubuntu server that is acting as a ghetto NAS, accessing it through the web UI

IvyTown is the goofiest cpu generation name i have heard in a while. except for the muddy pond under the sandy bridge.

turbofans.

I was playing my game, try to save my shadow footage, the grey/green shadowplay box gets a Cross through it and then the game crashes. Shadowplay produced a 3.8GB file, but nothing can read it, they say it is corrupt. my question is, has this happened to anyone else? and is there any way to recover the footage? as i would really like to have it.

i have taken apart a PS3 when a friend's broke, it really does not look that much different, the hardware is updated, but the PSU, Blu-Ray, fan, heatsink look really similar to what is in the PS3.

I have the same problem, Using CS6. I ran my video through Handbrake and set the frame rate to 60.00 FPS and the quality as high as it would go using H.264. and then imported that file into Premier Pro and it seems to be fixed. so my guess is shadowplay is recording at a variable frame rate, which sucks

no crossfire bridge nessary!

i have a serial mouse

fix for IE: Firefox or Chrome portable

when i read the title i touught you metn a SSD that weighted 45 pounds
