Reviews for the MSI GE63VR 7RF Raider
Daring to be imperfect. What, a TN panel in an $1800 gaming notebook? Yes, MSI has done it again and prioritized 120-Hz and quick response times. If you can work with this, you will probably be happy to overlook the few problems this otherwise well-made notebook has. Only one of MSI's decisions is rather questionable.

Going back to reality, we really enjoyed the keyboard with its RGB backlight, and the touchpad, which is far more adequate than some of the laptops in this category. The good cooling solution and the ease of use of the Dragon Center utility, combined with the super useful fan boost button just add to the greatness of this device. If you’re ready to give battery life away for the immersive gaming experience provided by the 120 Hz screen, we can truly recommend the MSI GE63VR 7RF to you.

There are two things which work in the favour of MSI's latest offering: performance and the fact that it doesn't heat up. The gameplay is efficient, the display is smooth and MSI deserves kudos for delivering all this at a relatively acceptable price point. While Rs 1,49,999 isn't exactly cheap but when it comes to gaming laptops it is competitive. As mentioned earlier, you've alternatives from HP and Asus with similar or better specifications but they do cost more. If you're looking for a quiet and efficient performer, the GE63VR Raider from MSI will be a good option to go for. However, the battery life could prove to be a deterrent to many.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

78.4%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
