Reviews for the MSI GL62M 7RD-429XES

MSI GL62M 7RDX review – gaming on a budget – features vs. compromises
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
MSI GL62M 7RDX has one of the best price/performance ratios in this category. It utilizes the GTX 1050 fully while keeping temperatures low and noise levels relatively quiet. The CPU in this machine has already been proven in battles, although it can get quite warm, especially compared to the Nitro 5 low-voltage Ryzen 7 2700U processor that barely warms up. However, titles like GTA V and Far Cry Primal won’t be any trouble for this device even at medium-high settings.

15.60":

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.
