Reviews for the MSI GS73VR 7RF-210

MSI GS73VR 7RF Stealth Pro review – gaming performance in a classy suit
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Actually, apart from the heat and loudness of this super thin gaming laptop, we didn’t find any major drawbacks that would outweigh (pun intended) the slim design and super light body for this size of a notebook. Tell us what you think of the MSI GS73VR 7RF Stealth Pro in the comments. Would you sacrifice performance for portability?

40% MSI GS73VR 7RF Stealth Pro
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Ultimately, I cannot recommend the MSI GS73VR 7RF Stealth Pro based on its pricing and build quality. Perhaps another configuration, particularly one without a 4K screen, would be a better value, but my misgivings regarding the construction would likely remain the same. There are many better deals out there, and for less money. The Editors' Choice HP Omen 17, in particular, boasts a higher-quality design, an Nvidia GTX 1070 card and a 4K screen, for a significantly lower price of $1,799.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile: The mobile GTX 1060 is based on the GP106 chip and offer 1280 shaders. Compared to the identically named desktop version it features a slightly lower clock rate. Games in Full HD and maximum details should run fluently on the card.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

40%: This rating is bad and very rare. There are only a few models that are rated so poorly. If the source is reputable, then a purchase is probably not advisable.
