Pros & Cons
Pros
Great graphics card, ssd instead of hdd, great processor, great ram. Fast processor and excellent performance.
Desktop no slouch either with a win 7 pro, e8300, 4 gb of ddr 1066 ram and dual 8800 gt video cards. The only thing that would have made this laptop perfect is if it had thunderbolt 3.
The keyboard has a red back-light with three levels of brightness. Red backlighting isn't overly bright, and i believe you can dim it more.
It vents its self pretty well but just to prevent overheating it doeint hurt to have a fan under it. There’s many preset for fan and cpu power. This is different from an overclock because this isn't fixed at like 5.
Hold my beer. Magnificent machines. Cortona that comes with it is pretty good to.
Cons
After a week of owning it, the laptop completely freezes/locks up while running programs, games and even web browsers. Other than that it is a decent laptop, but it’s not ideal to have the screen flickering.
There are two usb 3/c ports but only two oldschool usb 3 ports, which is a tad unfortunate. The good specs/performance are pointless when you only get a fraction of their power. For a gaming laptop battery life is ok.

It arrived quickly and was right in my price range.

I bought this when it was on sale, for some reason it doesn't show the price i paid for the system ($875), but the current $1079 price tag.
Shipping
Amazing product, amazing quality, and amazing shipping.
Easy to get the computer working and it is fast.
Packaging/appearance
Terrific laptop ready to go right out of the box!
Competitiveness
Coupled it with a seagate 2tb external drive, and it’s the perfect set up!
He suggested the more expensive gs65 stealth, but i think i'll reevaluate.
If you want a failry smooth and responsive computer for a good deal, then stop looking around because you've really found it.

Comes with a lot of features thanks to it being an msi plus with nvidia software

Since it was renewed though it didnt come with the msi dragon center already downloaded and maybe other software initially available when new when first setting up the laptop but i didnt want it anyways and it is available for free online
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Another flaw i really hate about this laptop is how hard it is to disassemble it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The screws are all easy to take out but taking the actually back off afterwards is a huge pain in the ass because it was such a great idea to have the components stick with the back as i try to take it off
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If youre looking for maximal mobility and a long battery life this isnt going to do it for you
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There should be scarce to no hiccups with your product as there barely is any with the laptop i received
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
No individual editing gaming or audio mixing software program will suffer too many hiccups
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Other notes about this model in case there is any confusion it should come with 3 usb 3
