Archive.org versionGV62 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!

Archive.org versionThe 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.

Archive.org versionThe 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.

MSI GV62 7RD-1811ES
The MSI GV62 7RD-1811ES is a 15.6" gaming laptop of the Taiwanese company. It competes against models such as the Omen 15 HP, the GL553VD Asus and the Dell Inspiron 15 gaming laptop. This device is aimed at gamers who want to play games on the go. By weight or dimensions, the MSI GV62 7RD is the average of other 15.6" laptops in this range, measuring 26 x 383 x 260 mm and weighing 2.2 kg. MSI has opted for plastic as a construction material for the entire casing, with a finish that simulates brushed metal. Inside there are two fans that manage to keep both the components and the casing at a good temperature. The MSI GV62 7RD-1811ES comes with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ, a model of the high-end of the Kaby Lake Intel (TDP 45 W) series. It consists of 4 cores, has 8 logical threads (Hyper Threading) and 6 MB of cache. This processor is designed for very demanding users who want to work with heavy programs for video editing, CAD or 3D rendering. A user will also get a hard drive of 1 TB at 7200 RPM and 8 GB of DDR4 RAM at 2400MHz in a single module.
As for graphics, the notebook features the Nvidia GTX 1050 with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. This graphic card is part of the current high-end series of Nvidia, thanks to which users can play many games with high or ultra-high details at 1080p, although the most demanding user will be obliged to download the details. MSI has opted in this concrete model for a TN panel with a matte finish and Full-HD resolution, meaning the viewing angles will not be very wide. However, the panel delivers a greater color range (94% NTSC), presenting a more fluid and higher-quality image. A user can expand their vision for an extreme gaming experience via Matrix Display, which supports up to two external monitors simultaneously through an HDMI 1.4 port and a Mini DisplayPort 1.2. Multitasking is possible even in competitive games. Users can connect their laptop to a high definition television, Matrix Display supports 4K output with 3840 x 2160 resolution. This technology creates an ideal playing environment, plus a very satisfying multimedia experience. The connectivity options are quite broad: a USB 3.0 Type-C port, two USB-3.0 ports and a USB-2.0 port, a network port and a WiFi-AC chip compatible with Bluetooth 4.2. Above the screen is an HD webcam for conferences. Despite being 29 millimeters thick, this model does not have an optical drive. The GV62 7RD-1811ES is not exactly the best gaming laptop out there, but it will certainly do some light gaming or even heavier gaming at lower configurations.

New engine, same body. MSI brings Coffee Lake to their entry-level GV62 line. While the new Intel CPU is a breath of fresh air, it is the only real change to the machine since last year. Buggy system behavior and a cheap plastic case keep the GV62 8RE from being little more than white noise.

72.06%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
