Now, I will say that for $1599, the unit feels a bit unbalanced. Overall, the difference between them is minuscule in terms of quality, but the GS73 has a slight edge in its build design that puts it ahead by a tiny bit. However, gaining access to all components is a bit more difficult, which results in a wash between the two. Finally, removing the bottom of the unit to gain initial access to the HDD and battery proved much simpler than with the GE72VR. In fact, having used the unit for a full month, it is still just as stiff now as when I first started using it. To be honest, I find that a good thing as it means the hinges are tight and should not turn sloppy over time. You won't be opening this unit with a single finger. The screen bezel has less flex and the hinges are stiff. The frame does have some flex due in part to the slim design, but it is still very solid because of its aluminum upper shell. When it comes to build quality, I would say the GS73 is a very small step above the GE72VR. While I don't care as much for the RGB LED craze, it is the new 'it' thing now, so seeing it here is as expected. Open the lid, however, and its RGB keyboard will light up your world or remind you of a rave either way, it stands out. While MSI's Gaming series products generally tend to be over the top, this laptop is quite tame externally. The design is similar in that it's sleek with a bit of flair via its lit up logo that proves attention grabbing without being gaudy.

I feel MSI's own GE72VR is the better overall product however, that doesn't mean the GS73 isn't worth considering.

General AnalysisFor a 17' laptop, the GS73 Stealth Pro 009 is quirky and interesting, but not the best option.
