MSI GE40-2OC Dragon Eyes Laptop Review (i7-4702MQ/GTX760M)

They say 'good things come in small packages' and if MSI have a say in it, then their new 14 inch GE40 with 'Dragon Eyes' will be winning your heart. This diminutive gamers laptop features the latest ...

Nvidia GTX760M kicks ass with the latest Direct X 11 games ; Intel Core i7 4702MQ is a powerhouse mobile chip ; excellent keyboard ; 1600×900 resolution screen

runs hot ; quite noisy under load ; single channel memory ; slow 2.5 inch mechanical hard drive ; bloated software install ; shiny surfaces need constant cleaning ; single height return key

Cyberlink PowerDVD 13 Ultra is one of the finest solutions for the BluRay experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset.

MSI GE40 2OC-009US

The MSI GE40 2OC-009US is a gaming ultrabook that delivers solid performance on the go, with a low price.

Gaming ultrabook with slim portable design. Fourth-generation Intel Core i7 processor. Nvidia GeForce GTX760M graphics. Decent feature set. Solid battery life.

Gets uncomfortably hot. Disappointing display. Awkward button bar mars otherwise decent trackpad. No keyboard backlight.

Conclusion The MSI GE40 2OC-009US offers plenty of gaming prowess, delivering an ultrabook that will take you on the gaming grid even as you take it on the go. While it doesn't top the Editors' Choice Razer Blade (2013), it's the closest competitor...

MSI GE40 2OC-009US Gaming Notebook Review: The Best of Both Worlds?

With few exceptions, it's generally been taken for granted that gaming notebooks are going to be hefty devices. Portability is rarely the focus, with weight and battery life alike usually sacrificed in the interest of sheer power. But the MSI GE40...

MSI GE40 2OC Dragon Eyes - Affordable, Svelte & Powerful

Don't be fooled by appearances. Despite its slim profile and light weight, the MSI GE40 2OC Dragon Eyes packs the latest Intel "Haswell" processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M discrete graphics under its hood. We check it out to see if it's the notebook...

Good performance ; Awesome battery life ; Relatively compact and lightweight

Build quality not fantastic ; No Full HD IPS display

For the MSI GE40, what you are paying for really are the components in its chassis: the fantastically frugal and capable Intel Core i7-4702MQ, the powerful GeForce GTX 760M and the pair of blazing quick mSATA SSDs.
