This laptop is everything you'd expect from a high-end gaming laptop. From inside to outside, all features and components have been designed for top notch gaming performance.
This particular model utilizes Intel's latest CPU- the 4th generation i7 8 Core processor which packs more processing potential than most users will ever need.
This model is loaded with 16 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM and is upgradable to 32 gigabytes. This is more RAM than most games will recommend for system requirements.
The GPU is Nvidia's latest mobile model- the GeForce GTX 770m. Packing 3 gigabytes of super fast GDDR5 dedicated VRAM this bad boy will push high frame rate benchmarks even under high graphical settings. Some games will drop significantly in frame rates under super max video settings due to poor game run engines but I have never been happier with graphics performance since purchasing this laptop. This system also comes equipped with a super cooling feature at the push of a button. The fan system will kick into high gear and DROP temperatures of the CPU and GPU to extremely admirable levels making this laptop very versatile. This mobile GPU is second only to the GeForce GTX 780m which is Nvidia's top GPU model.
Three USB 3.0 slots. Two USB 2.0. Top of the line networking adapters for WiFi, LAN etc... The keyboard is the new SteelSeries with a customizable backlit keyboard that may be adjusted at the touch of a button. I have to stress how comfortable and responsive this keyboard is. I have never type so fast on another keyboard. The keyboard on this laptop is truly a wonder in and of itself.
The sound system is remarkable. Three speakers- left, right and bottom. Crisp and clear sound. No crackling or muffling. Even has some bass to it. The sound system is the best you can get for laptops. You won't be disappointed.
THE ONE FLAW...
This particular model comes with only a 7200RPM HDD. It has an open bay to add a solid state drive which will greatly increase performance when and if you upgrade. The system comes with a mounting bracket specifically for this SSD upgrade. It will be located inside the box with the power supply in a sealed bag. Windows will score this laptop at a very insulting 5.9 due to the HDD being the lowest sub score. The processor and memory score a whopping 7.9 and the graphics/gaming graphics score a very nice 7.1. Once upgraded, this laptop will score an all around 7.1.
Buyers will be pleased nonetheless. I am so happy with this system.

Got it about 3 weeks ago
Quite powerful. I can use it for both development and gaming.
The sound system can be set to much more louder level than it was in my previous laptop -- HP TouchSmart (which is good if you are going to watch movies without headphones).
Only one thing that seemed not to be perfect -- I can clearly hear HDD and other electronic noises in my headphones, so consider buying external USB sound card if you like listening to music and have a good pair of headphones.

Had this about a week and with exception of Windows 8 (not an MSI issue) I'm very impressed and happy. Quality feel; doesn't feel plastic and cheap. Keybaord is responsive and quiet. Backlighting is nice as it helps in low light situations. Screen and display is crisp and bright at 50% brightness. Battery charge is decent if the Nvida GPU isn't engaged. Runs quiet as well but when the fan revs up under load it will be noticed; louder than most desktops I think.
I've only run into 2 issues and potential issue, which I haven't yet figured out: 1) Nvida drivers won't update, 2) Sims 3 will not run. On 1), the driver update will start to Install then fail due to not finding "compatible hardware". Everything seems to be working with Nvida graphics; Device manager shows its working properly, Nvida driver website recognizes the GPU and recommends the driver update. Running it or saving it and then running it locally results in the same error.
On 2) the game loads fine but when it enters game mode from a typical install and game updates from launch console, Windows displays a messages that it had problems and is terminating the TS3 program. Made recommended adjustments the DEP and then game goes into "game mode" but then blacks out". Sometimes get a popup saying TS3.exe has been prohibited from accessing graphics hardware. Only way out is hard reboot. The kids weren't happy but I uninstalled the program and will continue to look for a solution. THe potential issue deals with the BD burner not always recognizing a disc I load. SOmetimes I'll have to open and close the drive several times before it will recognize its loaded and display in Explorer.
Win 8 is just a terrible interface for laptop/desktop use. Not efficient at all. Some movements from the mouse or touchpad will take you from your app or desktop window to the tile window. Just very annoying.
If you don't want a big and heavy laptop then don't buy this. The physical specs are pretty true; it's big, barely fits in my Victronoix messenger which is for most 17" laptops. The power unit is also big and heavy. It's 180W supply so be ready.
