Connectivity

Feature

Performance

Armed with a GPU from the current highest caste, the MSI GT70-2PE Dominator Pro came out as the fastest gaming notebook of all types of notebooks that Pemmz had reviewed until September 2021.

That’s why pemmz ensures that the specifications on the MSI GT70-2PE Dominator Pro are still able to last even up to the next 4 years.

Upgrade Options

The only thing that still makes sense to upgrade is the CPU part. GT70 2PE is still equipped with a CPU of the PGA type, which means it is still possible to upgrade to the extreme edition series. Meanwhile, the RAM, storage and GPU parts have been maximized since they left the factory.

Conclusion

Once again, MSI promises a huge investment in the specs chosen in this GT70 2PE.
