are you ready for a super-slim gaming laptop with a big screen and lots of power I'm Dan Ackerman this is the msi gs70 stealth now msi is one of those companies that not only makes its own computers it makes a lot of the bodies that other smaller boutique computer makers use to make their own gaming laptop so it's nice to see the actual original version here a lot of the 17-inch gaming laptops we've looked at recently and we've been testing a whole bunch from origin from Alienware from others are those really traditional big bulky boxes I love that this msi version even though it's a 17 inch laptop with a current generation nvidia graphics card is super super slim it reminds me a little bit of the old 17 inch macbook pro that apple doesn't even make anymore but that was a great example of a really slim 17 inch system and you see it's it's you know not super light but it is very thin and they certainly pack a lot in there you've got a 17.3 inch 1920 by 1080 screen it is not a touchscreen but I haven't seen a full-fledged 17 inch gaming laptop with a touchscreen yet maybe someday you've got an Nvidia 800 Series card in this case it's the 870 not the super high-end 881 step down from that but I think in most games you're probably not going to notice the difference or you'll appreciate this just the slim size of this even more you can get a bunch of different configurations this one has a one terabyte traditional hard drive and about 300 something gigs of SSD hard drive space a couple of smaller drives sort of rated together I also like the SteelSeries keyboard on here getting a decent gaming keyboard especially into a slimmer laptop usually very difficult SteelSeries is company that makes really good gaming keyboards so even though this is a traditional kind of flat key island style keyboard here it actually works really well for gaming well the touchpad passable but you're probably gonna be using a mouse 90 percent of the time anyway now like most of the other big 17-inch gaming laptops this guy is not inexpensive this particular version is about $2,100 that's because you get that big double hard drive the traditional giant drive and then the smaller SSDs rated together if you knock something that down you could probably get it down to 15 1600 and still get the great graphics card and the great design and the slim size you know I certainly look forward to seeing a lot more of these thinner gaming laptops go forward hopefully somebody will get me a touchscreen version soon I'm Dan Akron and that's the msi gs70 stealth
