MSI GE72 7RE Apache Pro Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
Entry-level Gaming. The MSI GE72 revision from 2017 is interesting because of several reasons. First of all, Intel's brand new processor architecture enters the notebook segment with the Core i7-7700HQ. On the other hand, Nvidia's brand new gaming chip GTX 1050 Ti is on board, which ranks in between mid-range and upper class. We checked the gaming capabilities of the 17-inch model.

The MSI GE72 7RE Apache Pro isn’t groundbreaking, but it gets the balance just right in its price league. The GTX1050 Ti has enough power to play 1080p games smoothly, the processor is fast there’s loads of memory, and the storage setup gets a good balance of solid state and mechanical capacity, although there are much faster M.2 SSDs available.

MSI GE72 7RE Apache Pro gaming laptop review
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
We’ve been impressed with MSI’s gaming laptops as they’ve represented impressive power and good value. For many this Apache Pro will be underpowered as a portable gaming machine, but for others it will be exactly what they’ve been looking for: powerful enough to play competitive (older) games really very well but without the overkill of paying for power that won’t be used.

MSI GE72 7RE Apache Pro Gaming Laptop Review

This makes it tricky to come up with a definitive opinion about the MSI GE72 7RE Apache Pro as it offers decent value for money whilst the performance is held back by the relatively limp graphics. Yes we know that Nvidia has certified GTX 1050 Ti as VR Ready but still we want more.
