Conclusion

General   + -
With the GT 780, MSI has a very well built gaming notebook in its portfolio which is also able to convince from the performance perspective. For an attractive price you even get a SSD standard which gives this device a well deserved performance boost. Especially desktop taks will be accelerated but also games will load faster.   - Performance  
       
Display / Input devices   + -
We very much liked the high quality 17.3 inch display. An excellent contrast ration, a superb black level and good brightness are three key factors for a very good panel. Especially for gaming purposes the display simply is perfect. Also the keyboard is very good. In our opinion it has been a good descision to team up with SteelSeries. The keyobard is very well built and allows convenient typing and gaming even if the sessions take several hours. Furthermore the background color can be changed via an intuitive software.
Unfortunately the touchpanel isn't that good. The responsiveness is quite bad and the acceleration unpredictable.

Performance   + -
Equipped with a Core i7-2630QM quad core CPU that has eight threads, clocked at 2.0 GHz and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M mobile graphics chip, there is plenty of performance for a gaming notebook. One can even play games at high resolutions. Compared with the other notebooks we've tested so far the GT 780 has been able to take the lead. As always with gaming notebooks it doens't take a long time until the Battery Eater in classic mode empties the cells. In this case it took 89 minutes which isn't bad for a gaming notebook.   - Gaming-Performance

Recommendation   + -
If you should be looking for a gaming notebook which offer quite a lot of performance and even comes with a SSD will do everything right when choosing the MSI GT 780   - Gaming Notebook
