Reviews for the MSI GP72VR 7RFX

82.2% MSI GP72VR 7RFX (i7-7700HQ, GTX 1060) Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
Deceptively lightweight… MSI’s latest 17.3-inch gaming notebook to reach our labs covers most of the bases just as we’d expect, with a little twist: it’s surprisingly light! How does this $1,600 mid-range gaming notebook stack up against its peers?
80% MSI GP72VR Leopard Pro Review
Source: Computer Shopper English Archive.org version
Indeed, with better battery performance we might be honoring the GP72VR with one of our coveted Editors' Choice tags. Given its GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, as we said, its 120Hz display is more of a nice-to-have than a change-your-life feature, but the screen looks terrific, the system isn't as heavy as most 17.3-inch rigs, and the price is right. If you'd like to get into virtual reality, or if you're convinced you're getting fragged time and again because you're seeing 60 instead of 65 or 70 frames per second, don't hesitate to check it out.

The MSI GP72VR 7RFX Leopard Pro offers a vivid display, strong gaming performance and a comfortable keyboard, but its battery life is far shorter than the competition.

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.

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.


2.836 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

78.05%: 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.
