Product Manuals
A: Yes it does. And, beyond that, you can change the color configurations of the keys at your will. This will not disappoint you and I am not under the employ of either Best Buy or MSI.
A: My son wanted to buy the Alienware Laptop as well. It is a well known name in the gaming world. I did some research on his behalf. The GTX 1070 vs 1060's benefit is if he was going to game at 4k. He isn't, perhaps your son isn't as well. Based on this one fact I recommended the MSI. The MSI matched up in every other important category as the current Alienware, is cool running and cool to look at/show off. If you are looking at the clearance Alienware laptop, it has a 6th Gen i7, the MSI has a 7th Gen. i7 processor and costs less. You pay a premium for the Alienware name. He bought the MSI and is very happy. A very cool, capable gaming laptop and several hundred dollars more in his wallet. My $0.02 worth
Q: I heard the MSI laptops heat up a bit. Would a cooling pad help with keeping the temp down?
A: As I'm typing this on my MSI Apache with the 17" screen, I can tell you, in absolute honesty, that this is the coolest running laptop I've ever owned...despite its incredible power. I had some initial problems with my first MSI computer, purchased from Best Buy. After two appearances at the Geek Squad desk they managed to resolve the issues I had with my original 15.6" screen MSI Apache with this new computer. It's been terrific. It truly is an absolutely COOL laptop (I'm speaking of temperature here). My previous high-powered gaming computer was an ASUS and I couldn't run it for any length of time without a cooling pad. I've opened the computer case to install a 1 terrabyte solid state m.2 drive. You would not believe the heat sink in this unit. It's incredible and impressive! I've had this computer on for at least 9 straight hours and it's absolutely cool to the touch without a cooling pad. I don't know who mentioned that it ran "hot" but this has been the absolute opposite of my experience. I love this laptop!
Q: Can someone please make a list of games and how much FPS they run? Thank you very appreciated
A: Hello, Doom 2016 version 80-120fps WoW Legion 80fps Overwatch 120fps BF1 60-75fps Hard to pin point exact numbers due to online nature of games. Excellent machine I have two for wife and I. Regards,
Q: can this computer run bf1 gta 5 arma 3 and dayz on high settings and better with no problem
A: Yes it does in high/ultra on those
A: Hello Rick, This is the 16 gig model, Best Buy had a screw up! Lol
Q: the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is 3GB o 6 GB?
A: This is the 3 GB 1060 model. I've had no problem yet playing games with this guy! Great laptop. Very pricey but it gets the job done. (Have had much experience with this laptop)
A: No, the laptop will not provide power without the battery.
