MSI GP62-2QEi781FD
The MSI GP62-2QEi781FD also known as the Leopard Pro is a well-built gaming laptop which excels at what it does, which is to be a gaming machine. Its 17.3 inch screen is capable of displaying up to a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD). Its matte surface prevents glares that would obstruct a gamer's focus. The laptop runs on an Intel Core i7 and the buyer can either pick the 5950 or 5700 processor, differing only in clocking speed. Its graphics card is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M, which is the second fastest high-end graphic card in its series. Thanks to four RAM slots, up two 32 GB DDR3L RAM are available to the CPU, while the GPU either uses 6 GB or 3 GB GDDR5 VRAM. In addition, the laptop features a HDD with up to 1 TB and a built-in optical drive for CD-DVD reading. Audio is driven by Dynaudio and Nahimic sound technology, which is usual for MSI. Furthermore, the laptop comes with a Full HD webcam, which can capture up to 30 fps, and a stunning full-colour customizable backlit SteelSeries keyboard. Finally, having a 9-cell battery, it can run up to 8 hours of continuous usage and is also portable, weighing only at 3.78 kg with battery.Specifications

Gaming on a tight budget. The MSI GE series is already the manufacturer's entry-level gaming series. Now, the GP series is taking that extra step to make gaming even more affordable. What exactly has been cut along the way?

The system is lightweight but is actually quite large compared to many other newer systems. This may be the result of its plastic body construction that just doesn't feel as nice as it could.

MSI GP62 7RD-090DE Leopard
The MSI GP62 7RD-090DE Leopard is a high-performance gaming laptop refreshed with CPUs from Intel’s 7th-generation ‘Kaby Lake’ lineup. This is a solid workhorse of a laptop and would be good for professionals who need a lot of power and a big workspace just as much as gamers. The gaming laptop is nowhere near as slim as today’s mainstream laptops. The MSI GP62 7RD Leopard has a bulky design and weighs 2.4kg. The laptop comes with a decent keyboard equipped with all the keys that can be thought of. The keyboard is designed with the requirements of professional gamers in mind. It has ergonomically-designed keys with 1.9mm of key travel for more responsive and tactile feedback, optimum WASD zone and support of Anti-ghosting capability for up to 45 keys. The keys can be used with ease even at night or in a dark room as the keyboard has SteelSeries single color backlighting. The MSI GP62 7RD-090DE Leopard has an IPS display with a higher gamut of 72% NTSC color range. It produces rich colors and has the good amount of brightness levels. The vivid 1920×1080 resolution screen is among the best displays in gaming laptops with wide viewing angle. MSI went with a non-glossy display, so users don’t have to struggle with reflections.
As for the design, the laptop is relatively slick, with a lot of clever lines and angles masking this laptop’s overall bulk and making it easier to hold and carry. However, the matte black finish of the lid picked up smudges and fingerprints in no time. There are red accents on the front and rear, and a red MSI-“G Series” badge on the lid. Under the hood, the gaming beast is backed by a 2.8 GHz i7 Kaby-Lake CPU and a GeForce GTX 10-Series GPU combined with 16GB of DDR4 RAM. This combination makes the machine a real beast that can handle almost every type of game, as the latest generation of GeForce GPUs has improved 3D performance. Combined with the "Cooler Boost 4" cooling solution, the laptop offers a smooth gaming experience. To further enhance the latter, the laptop also features the audio software Nahimic, which offers high-definition sound technology and boosts the audio and voice performance. For input/output ports, the laptop features an Ethernet port, two standard USB-3.0 ports, one USB Type-C port that works at USB-3.0 speed, HDMI and Mini-DisplayPort video outputs, as well as individual 3.5-mm microphone and headphone sockets on the left. The MSI GP62 7RD Leopard Pro has a single USB 2.0 port and the DC power inlet on the right, along with an SD-card reader and a DVD-RW drive. The user will also get a Killer Gigabit Ethernet controller, AC Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and an HD webcam. These days, MSI is known for their gaming laptops, and this is definitely one to consider if you are in the market for one.

Archive.org versionA nice gaming laptop if you are on a budget, but unless you are into the lighter load games, getting the 1050ti version is almost necessary. I almost hesitated to call this version a gaming laptop given that the 1050 was so completely overwhelmed by moderate to high-performance tests. While I love the processor performance, the standard 1050 simply struggles to compete. The 1050 version is simply a nice budget laptop – Pay the extra, get the 1050ti version.

Archive.org versionWhile we’re generally happy with this laptop, what MSI still lacks is finesse – the GP62 7RD is loud, plasticky, and just bordering on garish. We also wish the keyboard had been a little better. If looks and portability matter a lot to you, check out models from HP, Dell and Lenovo instead.

Archive.org versionChances are high that you will like MSI GP62MVR Leopard Pro-406 if you are a gamer to the heart. Its GTX 1060 graphics card is quite a beast although the mere 3GB video RAM might sadden some folks. Nonetheless, all games will run smoothly on 1080p resolution and higher settings. Needless to say, if you are planning to run software on this machine all of that will be a non-issue too. The display is as great as you could expect from this pricey laptop, with bright colors and 1080p support beefing the screen up. For the money the MSI is going to offer player satisfaction if you ask me!

MSI GP62M 7RDX (WOT Edition) -1276GB
Recently MSI has rolled out -pun intended- a World of Tanks licensed notebook in the form of the MSI GP62M 7RDX. If you notice that this notebook is just a reskinned MSI GP62M 7RDX Leopard, you are most likely right. While the specification may not differ from the vanilla version of the same notebook model, it is worth mentioning again. The MSI GP62M 7RDX has a Core i7-7700HQ processor, 8 GB of RAM and 1 TB of HDD storage. It is a bit jarring that MSI has labeled this model the 1276 GB when in fact this mere model number name might be mistaken as total storage included. Because this is a World of Tanks license MSI notebook fans of the game will be delighted to know that MSI has also bundled 60 days’ worth of premium account credit, 2000 gold credits, access to the in-game IS-2 tank and then some. While MSI has aluminium constructed gaming notebooks, the MSI GP62M 7RDX is mainly made out of plastic, which might disappoint some users as they are already spending quite a sum on the notebook. The top lid is made of an aluminium sheet, which might be sufficient in protecting the LCD panel. However, this can be negligible since the notebook is relatively thick enough to be solid and rigid under normal stress and use. The included LCD panel is of the IPS variant with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 Pixels. This is about standard on notebooks of this size. Even if MSI would offer a 4K option it would be advisable not to choose it, as the notebook is only equipped with a GeForce GTX 1050 graphic and this can severely deteriorate your gaming experience. 4K resolution might be a litte too taxing for systems equipped with a graphics cards weaker than a 1060. The MSI GP62M 7RDX has many interfaces, namely 1 USB 2.0, 2 USB 3.0,1 USB type C port, 1 HDMI port, 1 DisplayPort and your usual audio jacks and card reader. One can only wonder why MSI decided to include USB 2.0 when USB 3+ has become the norm. As with most MSI notebooks the keyboard generally remains quite solid with excellent key travel distance of up to 2 mm and no feeling of mushiness, in terms of actuation force the keys are on the moderate side at 61 g. While this is a 15-inch notebook, it is actually nice to see that MSI has actually made a well-spaced keyboard without messing up the keyboard layout. The keyboard is RGB backlit with 3 levels of brightness, which is useful for night owl gamers. There is the classic 2 button touchpad, which can be a godsend, since most manufacturers have shifted to an integrated touch and clickpad for god knows what reason. While gamers would naturally use a mouse over the touchpad while gaming it is usually preferred to have individual click and touch sectors since they provide a much more intuitive feedback to the user. Jumping over to the aural devices of the MSI GP62M 7RDX, it can be said MSI has done a good job with the notebook having a 4 speaker array. As a result, sound feels more punchy, yet not overwhelming in the higher range. This does not mean mids would suffer; quite the opposite actually. However, with the lack of bass there are times that audio can feel a little flat. While this notebook naturally falls under the multimedia category it is still mainly marketed as a gaming notebook. Hence a record breaking battery life is not to be expected. Nevertheless, the notebook was able to last 4 hours and 4 minutes while watching videos, which is neither bad nor impressive. Overall, the MSI GP62M 7RDX appears fair by all means. If you are a World of Tanks fan who is looking for a decent gaming notebook and some extra World of Tanks freebies, this might be an excellent choice. Otherwise, the going with its vanilla version isn’t bad either. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

Archive.org versionWhile the MSI GP62 7RDX Leopard features the latest Kaby Lake processor and a desktop class mid-range GPU with 4GB GDDR5 in a stylish metal chassis, I was quite disappointed by the performance of the GTX 1050 for some of the latest game titles while playing at medium-to-high settings. This means that you will need to sacrifice a lot of game detail and tune down the presets to low. We wish that the machine came with the GTX 1050 Ti instead of the GTX 1050 GPU. That being said, older game titles which aren’t taxing can easily cross the 60fps without lowering the settings.

MSI GP62MVR 7RFX-1227XES
Designing a balanced laptop that offers users a satisfactory experience when they use it to play, but at the same time has a moderate price, is not easy. However, the MSI GP62MVR 7RFX-1227XES is exactly that. It is part of the range of access to 15.6 " gaming laptops that have an affordable price tag but also decent performance. The most attractive components of this notebook are its 120Hz IPS LCD screen and its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. MSI engineers have opted for an IPS LCD panel with antireflective coverage and Full-HD resolution. But what makes this screen really interesting are its native 120Hz refresh rate and its response time of 3 ms, two very appealing features for a team designed to display games vibrantly. The choice of the GPU is also what users would expect in a gaming notebook, a GeForce GTX 1060 from NVIDIA backed by 3 GB of GDDR5-type memory. As far as RAM is concerned, the starting point for this model is 8 GB of DDR4. As for storage, it has a mechanical hard drive by Seagate with a capacity of 1 TB. The next component that is worth a look is the CPU. It has a microprocessor Core i5-7300HQ, not an Intel Core i7. Even so, this chip should offer an interesting performance with games, because the maximum clock frequency is usually more important in this area, which in this Core i5 is 3.5 GHz.
As for the design, the chassis of the laptop combines polycarbonate and aluminum alloy. The first of these materials is used at the base and side of the laptop, while the cover that supports the keyboard and touchpad is made of very good quality aluminum alloy, and with a nice touch. The back cover of the screen, which is to some extent responsible for giving structural rigidity to the laptop and also to protect the delicate panel of random impacts, is made of brushed aluminum alloy. The material used in the heat pipe responsible for transporting heat dissipated by the chips is copper. Undoubtedly, it was a wise decision, since this element has a higher heat conductivity index than aluminum. In addition, the presence of two fans of a respectable size contributes to the transfer of heat by the copper, preventing the hardware to reach the maximum temperature threshold. As far as connectivity is concerned, MSI has done well. This device incorporates controllers compatible with the wireless WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2 standards. In addition, on the left side of the chassis, users have a wide range of connectors, including two USB-3.0 ports, one USB Type-C, one mini-DisplayPort and an HDMI output capable of transporting 4K UHD signals with a cadence of 30 Hz. Unlike the left side profile, the right side only picks up a USB-2.0 port, a slot that allows users to read the contents of SD cards, and the necessary power connector.

Archive.org versionThe MSI GP62M 7REX invades a league with a lot of competition, good competition, to be precise. The available GTX 1050 Ti makes the device an optimal gaming-on-a-budget machine. Being a little bit more expensive has its obvious advantages – the build quality of this device is excellent. Aluminum on top, aluminum in the keyboard area, while some of its direct rivals are made completely out of plastic, or have some interesting solutions like the carbon composite material used on the facelift of the Nitro 5.
