The editors didn't like
Horrible speakers
Keyboard could be a little better
Lots of branding
Stickers and an ugly glowing logo on the hood

Not quite as fast as the best gaming notebooks currently available.
Very good 3D performance with an I7 and GTX 970M, Compact and light at around 1.6kg, Very comfortable keyboard, in my opinion, with very good feedback, respond and travel depth and sufficient resistance, Cooling system keeps the CPU and GPU temps at reaso
Some throttling under highest load of Furmark Prime95, but not in Crysis 3, Only 2xUSB ports including the TB3 port, Speakers can barely make you feel anything inside, Chassis could get quite hot in hot environment (summer), Power consumption for browsing

Slim and lightweight, Good performance, Decent thermal management, Display still clear in bright areas, Well-placed ports
Speakers produced teeny sounds, Keyboard can be too bouncy, Bouncing lid,
So after a thorough experience with the MSI GS40 Phantom, what do we think? Generally, this little machine is quite a well-balanced notebook, which offers performance and portability. It can manage demanding games relatively well, and with decent battery...
Powerful and power hungry the Fury X is a great buy for anyone looking for a powerful, cool and quiet graphic card and already has the right PSU to support its high minimum power requirement.(previously published in issue January 2016)...
