Gaming Powerhouse: Bang on the Buck
By Digit.inon
The MSI GV62VR 7RF is the latest entry level gaming laptop from MSI, which carries the same
DNA and hardware as its older GL and GP series. You get the same Intel Core i7-7700HQ
processor we have seen all other gaming laptops this year along with the best entry level
gaming GPU at the moment, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. While MSI here has adhered to
the standard gaming hardware specifications here, the whole exterior of the laptop looks
somewhat minimal. There is little to talk about the design, MSI has kept things relatively
understated compared to what we have seen from the company previously. A lot of this might
have to do with the fact that this is a relatively lightweight gaming laptop, which does restrict the
company from going all out on the design front.
At 2.2Kgs, the MSI GV62VR 7RF is a good 300-400 grams lighter than the category average.
However, this light gaming laptop is pretty heavy when it comes to gaming performance. The
machine can easily run games like Doom on ultra settings at around 75fps at an average.
Graphic intensive titles such as Battlefield 1 run steadily above 45 fps on the 1080p display at
ultra settings, that too with DX12 and HDR support on. While the performance is good, the 15.6-
inch 1080p display is not the best out there for content other than gaming. The machine is using
a wide view TN panel, which does have decent viewing angles horizontally, but has serious
colour shifting issue when seen vertically.
What is impressive though is the cooling, the laptop goes into turbo mode while gaming,
spinning the fans at almost 5700rpm. This keeps the CPU and GPU cool and we never saw any
major throttling issues during our testing period. However, with such top shelf hardware packed
in this laptop, the battery life is not great, as is the case with most gaming laptops today. We got
not more than 2 and half hours of battery life from this laptop as a best case scenario.
Overall, we think the MSI GV62VR 7RF adds another option for the gaming community who are
looking to buy an all-in- one laptop for gaming and other tasks alike.
Pros
Well built
Good gaming performance at 1080p resolution
Lighter than its competitors
Easy to open maintenance hatch for RAM and storage upgradability
Keyboard is good for typing and gaming alike
The red backlighting is cool
Good port selection
Good performance for the price
Cons
Quality of plastics could have been better
Screen is dim
TN display has limited viewing angles
Very Good
By Flipkart Customeron
Overall a very good product at this price range. Most of the GTX 1060 6GB are around or above 1 Lakh mark. I got it for 79.9k.
Pro:
GTX 1060 6GB is enough for any gaming needs.
Awesome keyboard and awesome red back-lit.
It's just 2.2kg which is an unusual thing for gaming laptop of such configuration.
Cooler boost 4 keeps it cool instantly in a decent 65-70 degree range on some benchmark.
Cons:
Even though the heat is handled decently, the touchpad and left region of it gets warmer and it feels a bit uncomfortable for prolonged gaming.
Not as solid as it looks, has some plastic finish unlike my predator.
Overall a decent purchase and decent for gaming, best for heavy duty work like AI research and photo editing.
PS:
I draw these conclusions based on my experience from comparison with my Predator Helios 300 and a lot of research before I bought the same.
Brilliant
