    Welcome to this section of NBR

    Update 10/6: I just received it. I got home 36 hours ago after a 5 week session in the gulf of Mexico. I will create a separate thread with an unboxing and a review. But first impressions are really good!

    The specs as ordered are:
    15.6" Full HD (1920x1080) IPS-level LED backlit LCD (Antiglare)
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 w/ 6GB GDDR5
    7th Generation Intel Core i7-7700HQ Quad Core Processor, 2.8 GHz (Max Turbo Frequency 3.8GHz)
    16GB Dual Channel DDR4/2400MHz (2 x 8GB)
    HIDevolution Approved 256GB M.2 SATA SSD
    Samsung 850 EVO Series (3D VNAND Tech) SATA3 6Gb/s 1TB SSD
    Intel® Wireless-AC 8265 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n 2x2 NGFF w/ Bluetooth 4.2
    Genuine Windows® 10 Home, 64bit, English
    180W AC Power Adapter (supports 100-240V)
    Internal 3 cell battery - 57Whr
    Dynaudio Tech Speakers x 2

    The IPS "level" will be interesting to see.

    If anyone else has experience of this system please do post in here!

    Status update!

    So its been a while. I even held off on my order for a week in early april to w8 for news on the new Aorus.
    However after the aorus x5v7 options got posted i decided to stick with this!
    Overall it has taken slightly longer than anticipated but I got an email today that the order is shipping! I should have it in y hands within the week.

    Pics to come!

    Unfortunately the system was delayed again and shipping is now estimated for may 5th. I wont be home as I will be working offshore in mexico for 5 weeks. I think I will still keep the system but there will be no review/pics in the foreseeable future =(

    So review is up and ongoing. I figured id post the parts of it that are complete. (separate review thread) But Ive decided to keep it anyways. Really happy with it.
    Maybe im the sole owner of this on this system on this forum... Perhaps then we should just move this whole thread into the GS63VR owners thread? @Charles P. Jefferies

    @Charles P. Jefferies ... since this is an EVOC 16S-1060 (MSI GS63VR) thread...we should probably keep it as such.

    I'm fine with this staying a separate thread ...your opinions count more than mine on this.
