    Maybe Im dumb maybe I missed something but I just got home and opened my package from Amazon and on the side of the actual MSI box according to the spec sheet this GT70 Dominator 895US has a Intel Core i7-4810MQ Processor. Everywhere I read it was suppose to come with a 4800???? I havent opened the box to look at the computer yet. Anyone have any ideas?????

    Isn't the 4810 the newer updated version? I would be happy.

    Yeah I noticed the GT70 Dominator Pro 889 also came with the 4810 when it was supposed to be a 4800. I like surprise upgrades :)

    Since MSI sold out of the i7-4800MQ they are using the new i7-4810MQ that's all.

    Yep, the 4800MQ is of course being phased out so they put the 4810MQ in instead, you could complain if you like I suppose.... I doubt you would get very far though.
