70% MSI WS72
Source: Computer Shopper Archive.org version
Judging from the machines that have crossed our test bench in the last couple of months, competition in the mobile workstation space is heating up. The WS72 brings some of MSI's traditional strengths—aggressive pricing, stylish design, garish keyboard lighting—to the category, while being more portable than most of its 17.3-inch cousins.

MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

2.6 kg:

70%: 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.
