Reviews for the MSI GV62 7RC-225UK

MSI GV62 7RC Review
Source: Vortez English Archive.org version
GV62 can be purchased for around £750 GBP in the UK and we have no pricing currently for the United States. There has been some significant price drops recently in the Black Friday Sales, and come January 2018, this laptop may feature in some of the New Year deals too – so it’s worth keeping an eye out!

MSI GV62 7RC – Gaming Laptop Review
Source: Hardwareheaven English Archive.org version
The MX150 graphics chip has plenty of power for esports – which is exactly the kind of games that this machine is designed to tackle. It’s fast enough for older titles and casual games, too, and the rest of the specification can handle web browsing and general computing.

60% MSI GV62 7RC review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The MX150 is a solid esports chip, and it’s built into a good-looking and easily-portable notebook. The low price means that the screen and build quality aren’t as good as they could be, though, and similarly-priced machines have better graphics chips.
