Does anyone know how to address the horizontal striping with nVidia? the moron I talked to simply told me it was not an issue with the driver even after directing him to this article and the previous review? Is it something I should hold onto and wait for a driver update, or am I looking at a situation where I am going to want to return the machine for an RMA or refund in order to get rid of that horizontal striping?  >:(

Amazing! MSI just continue to underwhelm. A poor quality screen on a $3000+ gaming laptop! There no reason at all to choose this machine over Asus and Alienware!

Demanding Optimus on a gaming laptop is absolutely moronic. It is the one thing that is guaranteed to give you problems some time or the other. Most laptops don't even bother with switchable graphics (Asus G751), MSI is at least giving us an option to use integrated graphics.

Yep, this is ridiculously priced - it's the x4 SSD's that do it!  Looks like a good laptop apart from the silly SSD RAID 0 configuration and poor quality screen - hmm, they should have provided a good screen for a top end notebook, I wouldn't buy this, certainly not in this overpriced configuration.  The new 980M is very impressive though - but I'd be putting in a laptop with a good screen and a sensible drive configuration:  x1 128GB or 256GB SSD + 1TB hard drive.

Ugly? The GT72 looks more better than GT70(which reminds me of a fisher price toy) and looks almost as good or as good the G750 from ASUS, IMO. So, MSI has actually MADE an improvement over their older GT70 series...Yes, you DONT NEED 6 USB ports but MSI provides us with it. Just think of it as extra features. Same goes for the 7.1 analog audio.

I agree with Gary, this one seems way overrated.. no optimus, poor gamut, poor wifi, mediocre keyboard.. lots of USB is nice but really I can't imagine needing to use 6 USB 3.0 at once on a laptop.

Because it does the job it's meant for - a desktop replacement gaming laptop - very well. It has one of the better TN panels, can't be lighter with the kind of hardware it packs and nobody is forcing you to buy the top configuration with four M.2 SSDs and a BR burner. There are less pricey configs available and while they can't match a gaming desktop for the same price, they are not meant to. Is there another gaming laptop with 6 USB 3.0 ports and 7.1 analog audio? If you don't need all these things, Asus will have you back with the new G751 with the same GPU for less, but it won't offer the features that the GT72 does.

Sorry, I Dont get it, why 88 rating,, for an overpriced, heavy, ugly, TN only, poor wifi notebook... regardless of the good gtx GPU.... your rating system is bizarre..

Little update, big impact. MSI now installs the brand new premium models from Nvidia's Maxwell generation. Read here to what extent the GeForce GTX 980M can outperform its precursor, and what it looks like in terms of temperatures, power consumption, and system noise.
