This review is from: MSI GT Series - 18.4" - Intel Core i7-4980HQ - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M SLI - 24 GB DDR3L - 1TB HDD 256 GB SSD - Windows 8.1 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop (GT80 Titan SLI-009 )
Pros:
Okay first impressions, this system is on fire. Every game, benchmark, and fun little do these million things at once this system has laughed at me an asked for more.
Coming from a background of DIY systems, that were pretty nice for their purpose, it is refreshing to have a system that runs this well out of box and has great upgrade options.
Initial setup is straight forward as it is just Windows and a few driver configurations. SLI and Monitor Matrix x3 was super easy and worked just fine.
The SSD Raid 0 setup it just amazing.
Cons:
I have to say the MSI bloat ware is a bit much. Not the worse I have seen, but when your taskbar is full of stuff on first start up, it just makes a picky person like me raise and eyebrow and say "really?"
Outside of that it does run a bit hot, though this is mitigated by the option to ramp up the fans. I almost did not write this as not to terrible.
I will be sure to update of anything changes.
Overall Review:
Overall I agree with the other reviewers; ig you can afford this system, then you should but it.
Noise levels are fine even at full blast, considering the system is a beast. If that is a big concern for you, then buy some nice head phones. Should be easy, you just dropped 3.8k+ on the system. Splurge a little. eh?
