All in all this is a slightly-slimmer, lighter version of the Apache that doesn't have a Blu-ray recorder. Like a Porsche GT3, you pay more for less with this slimmed down system costing $200 more.

Like the Apache, it's not great at playing latest-technology games, which can be a problem for a gaming laptop. However, there's still a very large market for playing older competitive games and for many, the combination of well-cooled portability and price point will still be attractive. If you want a beefier-but-slim MSI gaming laptop that can play games, check out the MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro 4K. However, it costs $1,000 more.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile: Mainstream graphics card based on Nvidia's Pascal architecture and successor to the GeForce GTX 960M. Is manufactured in a 14nm process at Samsung and the technical specifications are very similar to the desktop version.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
