Repost this unbox article from Taiwan on MSI GS70
Let’s start this blog post with a selfie.

Since being in the Starcraft Corporate Charity Tournament, I have become pickier about laptops. My gaming hardware needs have increased and so have my expectations for looks and feel when shopping for a laptop. The first time I noticed the MSI GS70 was at a COMPUTEX booth and when I saw it, I said “Wow! Is this really a gaming computer? It’s so thin and stylish!” The sharp, clean, perfectly designed body immediately caught my eye, not to mention the specs and performance, so I bought a GS70 as soon as they hit the shelves. I recently went with my friend Rona to MOT Kitchen in Taipei’s East District for afternoon tea. After we got done taking selfies, we decided to write a GS70 box opening blog. Thanks to Rona for helping me with the pictures!
I need to be able to use my computer for work, editing pictures, and of course playing Starcraft. I also love just sitting alone in cafés surfing the web and the MSI GS70 is the perfect tool for all of that. My MacBook Pro is now sitting all by itself and lonely in the corner of my study.![tongue.gif]()

Seeing it sitting on MOT Kitchen’s ultramodern bar really highlights the MSI GS70’s great looks, so we couldn’t help taking a photo while waiting for our food.

The place wasn’t full, so we took the opportunity to snap a few pictures highlighting some of the GS70’s features.
I think what first made me fall in love with the GS70 was its chic chassis with brushed aluminum finish. (Rona, don’t take pictures from below like that! It makes my face look so big!)

I prefer a big screen because I have an astigmatism, but I was surprised at how the GS70 isn’t unwieldy at all even with its 17” screen, perfect for someone who’s always on-the-go like me.

I borrowed a coworker’s digital calipers to measure the GS70 and the body measured in at just 21.75mm.

Weighing in at only 2.65 kg, it’s light enough to be held in just one hand.

Like other MSI gaming notebooks, the GS70 has a SteelSeries gaming keyboard. I think one of the coolest features is the full-color LED backlighting, because you can set whatever color and light patterns you want.

Sorry, I’m not very good at taking pictures. I kept trying, but I couldn’t get a good shot of the LED backlighting.
The GS70 boasts MSI’s Audio Boost technology for flawless audio output– Hardware that brings you the sound quality and purity of a headphone amp is a must-have feature for high-end laptops nowadays. Whether I’m listening to music, playing computer games, or watching movies, the sound is stable and distortion-free.

The sitting area on the second floor of MOT Kitchen has a lot of design books and magazines, so you can listen to music and read at your leisure or even play Starcraft!
