Just thought I'd post, I just played a solid hour of Call Of Duty (man I hate that game, but its a good test for the system). The cooling on this laptop is VERY impressive. Leaving it on auto I couldn't even hear the fans and CPU/GPU barely hit 70. When I turn the cooler boost on they are...

Ugh...scratch those numbers. I didn't realize the stupid thing logged me out of my 5G and into someones else's wifi....WTH. So speed test is now in line with the other laptop, download speeds are roughly triple what they were and its smooth. Still not as fast as my other devices (all intel...

Actually, just set my other laptop upright next to this one and ran speed tests back to back. Brand new MSI....74.5 download. Old ass HP...178.1 download. Something tells me this network card is bunk.

Just bought a new MSI GE63VR 7RE-010CA and I am having some strange issues with internet connectivity. I have high speed (150mb/s) internet, zero issues on my other devices/computers either wireless or wired. This laptop, when I run the speed test I am getting about 88mb/s download on wifi, and...

Ya it seems to have been the same as the reviewer....hitting 90's and throttling, fans did nothing. I thought about it for a couple days...I was going to just forget picking something up but I decided to just give up on the dream of decent battery life LOL. There was a really good sale on the...

No, its time to return this laptop too and try to drag a couple more years out of my HP. It has never failed me...as much as some of the things HP does drives me crazy, my last 2 HP's have been rock solid for the most part. I dont think there's anything worth buying on the market right now...

lol well that was laughable. I was just playing Destiny 2 for like 15 minutes and it froze about 6 times. CPU hit 90, GPU about 79....theres some issues with this thing.

OK, I ran some benchmarks and its definitely not running slow, so that was just the update software. I haven't noticed any issues with slowness today so far. As for the temps...when I let it sit running idle its typically sitting at about 35, which is good. BUT, it seems to just randomly...

Alright, another update. I tried another run down on the battery of the Asus, and it took me 2 hours to kill it with just random use and writing some code. It was just TOO bad, so I returned it...shame because it was awesome in every other way. I decided what the hell and grabbed a Gigabyte Aero...

OK so I think I have exhausted all of my options and it kind of breaks down like this... Ideal specs to price ratio puts me in the neighborhood of the Asus GL503VM Hero or the MSI GE63 Raider. Both are pretty much identical, both have crap battery life lol. Comparing these to other brands...

Yes I will be using it a heck of a lot and it will pay back itself...if it was my decision alone I would just buy the best one I could...but my wife doesn't see it quite the same way lol. I know a GPU will always be a drain, but it should be really easy to make a laptop with a decent battery...

Well MSI is a no go. Talked to the dude at the store and he said it has a pretty crap battery as I suspected. Back to the drawing board. Seems the Predator Helios has decent battery life but it's like double the price in Canada which is redonk. Dell maybe...though it's pricey for the specs Id...
