Is this laptop a good deal?

[Bondy161]

Hey guys,

I found this laptop on laptops direct and had a quick look at the specs and the benchmarks for the gpu and cpu and to be quite honest. I am very impressed. I don't know whether there are much better laptops suitable for gaming out there for the price, but judging by what I am seeing, it has more than enough RAM, a very good graphics card and a very good cpu. I don't know whether there is a catch to the system being this good for this price, such as the cooling being terrible etc. but as long as it's nothing far too major, I can cope with bad cooling as I have a cooling pad and if it has a terrible battery life, that doesn't affect me either as it will be plugged in all the time anyway. (And yes I know I can get desktop that's 1000000000 times better for that price, bla bla bla, I've heard it all before, but I really can't fit a desktop in my room, literally there is NO space, and I'm not exaggerating the slightest bit. Maybe in a couple years time when I get my own place, but until then I'll have to wait ).

Here's a link to the laptop in question:

Thanks in advance guys!

That cost more than it does on amazon with less specs. http/www.amazon.com/MSI-GT70-Dominator-2293-17-3-Inch-Laptop/dp/B00O4ORQ3C

That laptop is good but beware. Msi's are known to be loud. The cooling is good on this laptop as it is big and bulky.

I'm in the uk though and it says on the listing that it cannot be shipped outside of the U.S.

Newegg is cheaper too. http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152666 (though the uk newegg is out of stock).
