    Hey guys, I'm probably going to grab a new msi laptop in about less than a month. As I browsed through Gentech and Xotic, etc. I came across the GT70 and imo, it looks pretty good and specs are superb ( for the games I play anyway!)

    Down to the question

    Would the barebone and the normal GT70 ( with the HDD and windows OS installed, etc and stuff) be basically the same? Apart from the 3GB GTX 670 and 1.5 GB GTX 670 difference, anything else that's different? Screen, speakers and what about the keyboard? If i get the steelseries keyboard option on the barebone, would it be the same ? ( i heard gt 70's keyboard got sturdier and whatnot...? compared to old gt 780dx models)

    that's a lot of questions, but really, I'd really appreciate some feedback from you guys. Thanks a lot!!

    The GT70's are going to be very similar to the previous 783's in body type, lighting, etc. The 1762 are different in material and body type.

    GT70 is more of a brushed aluminum look as opposed to the more black plastic look of the 1762.

    The ports on both are somewhat similar however.
