70% MSI WT73VR Review and Ratings
Source: Computer Shopper Archive.org version
The MSI WT73VR is a powerful system with performance that ranks among the top contenders in the class of 17-inch mobile workstations. For those with flashy, type-A personalities, its sci-fi race car design will be appealing. Low-key types may prefer more of an understated, elegant look, such as the two-tone slab of HP's ZBook 17 G4. The MSI is also a large machine, as are most 17-inch laptop workstations. Still, we found the WT to be a little thicker than others.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation.
