Reviews for the MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro-078

80% MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro-078 Review
Source: Toptenreviews English Archive.org version
It seems that isn’t the case—so, why should you pay over more for a Max-Q GTX 1070 than a regular GTX 1060-powered laptop? We already talked about size and weight. The other key factor is noise. Every GTX 1060-powered laptop we’ve tested sounds like a jet taking off as soon as the fans spin up. Not here—the GS63VR Stealth Pro lives up to its name. You just won’t hear this jet coming. -bo moore.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile: Pascal based high-end mobile graphics card based on a cut down GP104 (like the GTX 1080) and GDDR5 graphics memory. Successor to the GTX 980M with a 10 Watts higher TDP. Similar to the desktop GTX 1070 performance wise, but with more shaders and lower clock speeds.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

i7-7700HQ: Quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture. Besides four CPU cores (including Hyper Threading), the chips also integrates the HD Graphics 630 GPU and is manufactured in an improved 14 nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


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.
