Even at a distance of 15 meters (~49 feet) and with multiple walls in between, the network connectivity stayed at 3-5 bars.

The RTL8723AE (supports WLAN b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0) can easily hold its own against popular Intel products like the Centrino Wireless-N 2230. In addition, a Realtek WLAN module provides Wi-Fi connectivity. Thanks to the preinstalled Network Manager, the user can not only observe the network traffic but also regulate it. Due to various optimizations, the Killer e2200 is especially good for online games and streaming (finding and prioritizing of high latency files). CommunicationĪ Qualcomm Atheros network module is responsible for the RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port. Right-handed users should have no problems. Left-handed users will be annoyed as the majority of the ports are placed at the front of the left side and the use of an external mouse might be impeded by the emissions from the vent. MSI will receive some complaints due to the positioning of their ports. However, we find the mere two audio jacks to be meager (considering the price class). Four USB ports (2x USB 3.0) are enough for storage devices or other external peripherals. If you do not need eSATA, FireWire or DisplayPort, then you will be satisfied with the offering.Įxternal display can be run via the VGA or HDMI interface. All-in-all, the GE60 offers a decent connectivity. The ports are similar to those on the GE70, but MSI has reallocated one USB port and a card reader. Thanks to the modest measurements, this notebook is easy to transport.
The thickness of 40 mm (~1.6 inches) places our test model between ultra-thin models like the Razer Blade and the heavy 15-inch gaming laptops, like the MSI GT60 (58 mm/~2.3 inches). We believe 2.7 kg (~6 pounds) are reasonable for a high-end notebook. The user can open the laptop with one hand (the base does not swing along), but if the table is bumped the display will wobble. As in most notebooks, the display cover is not perfect and the hinges cannot hold the screen securely in position. The sturdiness is similar: the top is tough but the bottom (near the vent) can be deformed. If we ignore all these flaws, then the notebook has a decent build. This is not what we expect in a laptop, which costs 1,300 Euros (~$1757). We were also a little unhappy with the workmanship of the device: the battery was hard to get in, the area between the display and cover is not properly finished and the touchpad is not reliable (more information further down). Who wants to clean the keyboard every day? The matte screen (borders) can only undo some of the damage. MSI should not have applied the glossy finish to the keyboard base either.
The next product generation should have a matte exterior (as in the past: the GT725). Furthermore, it makes the laptop look cheap and the design does not make matters better. This means the notebook is very sensitive to scratches, fingerprints, etc. MSI has chosen a glossy finish for the display cover. Thankfully, the keyboard borders and the hand-rest regions are made of metal. Instead, it primarily consists of synthetic material.
In contrast to the much slimmer GS70 Stealth, the case of our test model is not made of aluminum. In the looks department, our test model is the spitting image of its bigger brother, the GE70, which means it offers the same dis-/advantages. 8 GB), we recommend price-conscious buyers to get the GE60 or GE60H instead. As only the RAM has been increased (12 vs. If you are willing to invest 1,400 Euros (~$1892), then you can buy the GE60PH-i765M21211 which boasts the best configuration. The additional money will procure 2x 64 GB mSATA SSDs, which run in RAID-0 alongside the 1 TB HDD (total storage: 1,128 GB). Thanks to 8 GB DDR3 RAM, a 1 TB HDD and a Blu-ray combo drive, this laptop will hold its value for a few years. The pricing starts at 900 Euros (~$1217) with the GE60-i565M245FD ( Core i5-4200M) and 1,000 Euros (~$1352) for the GE60-i765M245FD, which offers 4 GB RAM, a 500 GB HDD and a DVD burner but lacks a Microsoft OS (Operating System). The Internet business,, which provided us with our test model, lists this high-end notebook in five different configurations. The cheaper configurations use the GT 750M but the GTX 765M is worth the investment. The Intel Core i7-4700MQ runs at 2.4 - 3.4 GHz and provides enough juice for the dedicated graphics card, the GT 750M or the GeForce GTX 765M.

Reasons to buy: the anti-glare Full HD display and the powerful quad-core CPU. We previously tested the MSI GE70, GS70, GX70 and GT70 and now it is time to take a look at the compact GE60. For the original German review, see here.
