MSI GE72VR 6RF Apache Pro Notebook Review

[Redaktion]

Apache is approaching! The well-known gaming notebook manufacturer MSI brings us an interesting combination. A fast quad core processor of the Skylake family and a Pascal-based GPU are the core of the latest model. Learn how well the components fit to each other in our in-depth review.

[more 120Hz screens pls]

I like how this laptop has a 120Hz screen, in my opinion pretty much all gaming laptops should come with high refresh rate screens (e.g. 120Hz/144Hz).  I recently built a desktop with a 144Hz screen, and the enjoyment & my competence in fast online games has increased greatly - it's amazing the difference between 60fps/60Hz and 144fps/144Hz in terms of how much detail is displayed in fast moving scenes - this is what gaming is all about - future laptops must have high refresh rate screens - people don't know what they're missing until they've tried it - seriously!

I hope it comes with Apache HTTP server preinstalled.

Another nice review.

Note that not all people buys this kind of laptops for gaming, many buy them for 3D editing, video editing etc...so 120hz screens are not necessary for those persons.

A nice review for a laptop that isn't all the popular. I picked this one up during the cyber Monday sales. One thing of note, It seems depending on where you buy it, it comes with either USB-C 3.1 gen 2.. or thunderbolt 3. I purchased mine from new egg and it has thunderbolt 3 in its branded graphic description. Yet jumping to amazon shows the same model with USB gen 2. Also Newegg only offers a base 1080p 60hz version. A quality TN display but imo is just shy of the color and viewing accuracy of a good IPS.
