Q: Silly/stupid question!....It says 8GB with max 32GB Supported....does that mean it has 4 slots? It's not listed in specs and I just want to be sure is all! Thanks!

The GE72 pro-003 comes with 16gb memory (2x8gb). Task manager says only 2 out of 4 slots are currently used, allowing for 2 more 8gb to be added. Although if you're looking to upgrade a GTX960m to 32gb of memory I'd consider looking into the vast performance gap between the 960m and the 970m. It might be more cost effective to get the better machine. Not a stupid question at all :)

Q: can it handle bigger programs like photoshop and premier? and what games cant it handle well if there is any

Yes it can handle photoshop and premier, although MSI specifically makes a media focused line of computers other than the G series. As to what games it can handle "well", that can be a little subjective. My 3DMark scores are as follows: November 10th, 2015. Firestrike: 4059; Skydiver: 13114. It should be known that the performance gap between GTX 960m and GTX 970m is vast when compared to the gap between 970m and 980m. Any RTS runs great or FPS older than two or three years runs decently. If you wanna play AAA titles with a lot of post processing such as CoD or Battlefield within last two years at ultra though, this rig isnt exactly capable. Then again, that's expecting GTX 980 performance out of a mobile card. (GTX 960m is about equivalent to GTX 750)

Q: Just thinking about getting this laptop for gaming use only but im not the smartest oncomputers so do you think this can handle big games like battlefield 4 or GTA?

The laptop is more than able, the 960 is very versatile especially if you get MSI AFTERBURNER. it's a reall simple and user friendly graphic card overclock software. That provides enough power to run the games at decent to mid high settings

Q: Does this have the eDP Wide View Angle screen like the MSI PE70 6QE-035US does? Thanks in advance for your time.

Technically no, this model is listed as an EDP non-reflection screen, not wide view angle. I can't speak to how they are similar or different.

Q: Does this have a mic? If not do you have any suggestions for a headphone/mic combination? Thanks!

Yes it has a mic. And webcam works amazing. If you want a headset though I recommend Logitech g25 or 50 something its a blue or read simple headset covers my ears and is super comfy

Q: Does this have the capacity for dual hard drives?

IM pretty sure this machine does in fact have dual HD bays

Q: Is there a way to upgrade the OS from Win10 Home to Win10 Professional?

I'm sure there is but when I tried to do it I was not able to because the system automatically has the Windows 10 Home license built into the BIOS.

Question 1

does this have the cd/dvd drive?

Accepted Answer

It does have a DVD rom installed. Awesome machine.  Love mine and plays every game ve put on it

Question 2

Would I be able to replace the battery if needed?

Accepted Answer

The battery is located inside the case. But yes you can replace it if needed. Just have to take it apart to do so. Very fast laptop. Able to play bf4 and guild wars 2 at 60fps.

Question 3

How much battery life for this laptop? for general usage

Accepted Answer

From my experience using it for about 6 months: 2 1/2 - 3 hours with 100% brightness and sound during constant video streaming (Netflix, YouTube). Battery life can be extended to about 5-6 hours at <50% brightness combined with mild streaming demands. I do not recommend buying this laptop if you plan on playing graphically demanding games without it being plugged in.
