Reviews for the MSI Pulse 17 B13VGK

86.3% MSI Pulse 17 B13V gaming laptop review: With quiet wings | Notebookcheck
The MSI Pulse 17 supplies a lot of power to the Intel Core i7 and RTX 4070 while still remaining fairly quiet. However, the connection equipment and screen are also important for a laptop, and the gaming laptop is unable to convince us in those regards.

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.


2.7 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.
