Reviews for the MSI GE72-6QD161

60% MSI GE72 6QD Apache Pro
Source: PC Mag
The MSI GE72 6QD Apache Pro is a pretty good gaming laptop overall, providing capable performance on a large screen at a reasonable price. It's not a powerhouse like more expensive laptops, but you know you're not buying a top-of-the-line system in this price range. The GE72 would make a much stronger case for itself with a 970M video card, especially given the $800 960M-equipped Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series (7559). Though it will cost you more than $2,000, the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro G-1438 certainly provides much better performance on maximum settings, and so remains our Editors' Choice midrange gaming laptop.

The GE72 6QD Apache Pro is in a rather unique position as a gaming notebook, in the sense that it's one of the few budget-friendly large-screen models on the market. In contrast to the stereotypical 17.3-inch gaming notebook, loaded to the gills with an overkill GPU and CPU and priced accordingly, this configuration of the GE72 gives you the big-screen gaming experience without the $2,000-plus outlay.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GTX 900M series.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
