What customers say about "Processor"

MSI GS65 (8RE-011UK) Stealth Thin 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop - (Black)

It performs fantastically well with games and photos coz cpu is monster!
Nice performing in new videogames at high settings. Videocard and cpu works well.
CPU works on high speed and it still silent, amazing quality!
I think with that processor i can play on ultrasettings without lags.
In my honest opinion the cooling for the CPU is totally inadequate on this laptop, thus I CANNOT recommend this laptop, buy a better and cheaper one instead.

What customers say about "Features"

MSI GS65 (8RE-011UK) Stealth Thin 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop - (Black)

I'm impressed how light and wafer thin this laptop is.
It looks elegant and stylish, and I have no fear of embarrassment taking it meetings with design conscious clients.
It is totally silent with light usage (web browsing, word processing), with heavier usage (3d gpu/CPU rendering) the fan noise is acceptable and not noticable any louder than previous laptops I have owned.
I am amazed at how many features there are in this laptop.
Its one of the quality building laptops, amazing design and nice features.

Razer Blade 15 Gaming Laptop (Black)

Speakers are decent for a laptop.
Trackpad feels really nice to use and is a decent size.
For what's packed inside, it's incredibly light and thin. Not much else packs this much power in this form factor.
Very nice design and the vapor chamber does its job.
The screen is very good 144 Hz is just a pleasure to game on.
