Reviews for the MSI GF63 8RD-050NL

60% MSI GF63 8RB Review
Source: Laptop Mag
The GF63 is a solid laptop that offers excellent performance at a reasonable price. However, its display is underwhelming and gamers who want to play the latest games at high graphics settings will need to spend a bit more on a laptop with a more powerful GPU than a 1050Ti.

MSI's GF63 gaming laptop offers strong performance for the price, but a disappointing display and plastic chassis are hard to overlook.

Inspired by MSI's slick GS65 Stealth Thin, the GF63 8RD is a one-cut-above budget gaming laptop with a trim chassis made possible by Nvidia's Max-Q tech. Only battery life keeps it from top marks.

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.  

8750H: On Coffee Lake architecture based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.2 - 4.1 GHz (4 GHz with 4 cores, 3.9 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
