About design, machine shell is made of plastic, the surface is made of scratched plastic and the bottom is made of rough plastic, allowing users handle easier; however, this plastic shell is dusty. In general, GT60 and GT70 are very similar, the GT60 has 15.6” screen and is equipped with 2.1 speaker, while the GT70 has 17.3” screen and 4.1 speaker. MSI also equipped for GT60 anti-glare screen to use in bright environment. Visibility of the screen is quite good; it has high brightness and wide viewing angle, less color change when changing the viewing angle. Color display capability is quite detailed. Though it’s not brilliant in the warm colors, it presents the cool colors very well.
MSI has hired well-known hardware firms to outsource the important peripherals of the computer, such as SteelSeries chicklet keyboard, at first the keyboard has good typing quality and comfort feeling, but the key layout is not reasonable. Typically, Windows key is on the right side, it’s not convenient to use shortcuts. In return, the manufacturer also equipped color changing backlight for this keyboard. We can change 7 different colors for three key areas (left, center, right). Touchpad also supports multi-touch for tasks using 2, 3 fingers (the video said no, we are so sorry about this).
