MSI GP62 2QE Notebook Review

Gaming on a tight budget. The MSI GE series is already the manufacturer's entry-level gaming series. Now, the GP series is taking that extra step to make gaming even more affordable. What exactly has been cut along the way?

Strong base, Removable optical drive, Relatively quiet fan when gaming, M.2 slot and 2.5-inch SATA III slot, No CPU or GPU throttling under Unigine Heaven, Comfortable keyboard with deep travel, Accessible internals, Standard two-year warranty

Pulsating system fan under light loads, No keyboard backlight, Average lid quality, Very warm keyboard when gaming, TN panel needs calibration, No Thunderbolt or external GPU support, No subwoofer, No RAID, Low battery life

The MSI GP62 is simply a GE62 with cut corners. Users are losing the brushed aluminum surfaces, subwoofer, backlit keyboard, and IPS panel. Worst of all, GPU performance from the GTX 950M is simply no match against the GTX 965M on the GE62.

Performance is very underwelming

First and last MSI laptop I ever purchase, never ever again and would recommend anyone considering this brand to stay as far away as possible

Price was right

Easily the worst laptop I have ever purchased.. Machine locks up constantly or just fails to boot.. Performance out of the box was worse than my 5 year old machine so we took out the IDE drive and put in an SSD with a fresh install and performance...

Good Laptop for the price

For 799$ it is an amazing laptop, except the speaker part. And unlike most people writing the reviews, i didn't have any major problems setting it up. But, I'm sure most problems of first use can be fixed by connecting to the internet and letting...

It can handle almost all games at an ultra level The 1080p screen is just amazing The keyboard is great, but it takes time to get used to The cooler boost feature really helps when you are playing demanding games Price to power ratio is the best

Build quality is just lower than I expected. The screen part of the laptop is almost bendable by two fingers. The speakers were great at first but after 2-3 weeks of used, they started outputting distorted sound, First it was the right speaker, then...

Expected a lot Better

This was a Christmas present and unfortunately has been disappointing. I did a lot of research before settling on this laptop and this manufacturer so I thought we would have good customer service and a good product without a lot of effort. I will edit...

None yet.

This laptop is slow right out of the box. After contacting customer service all they can offer is restoring it - even though all that was done to it since owning it was copying over photos and documents and installing a game. And again it was slow out...

MSI GP62 Leopard Pro-042

For the price it is hard to beat the performance of this laptop. First and foremost though, the screen resolution is 1920x1080 not 1920x1028. That is a misprint, and you can verify this on the MSI website. Second, you will receive your laptop with...

Non-functional system, horrible customer service from both MSI and Newegg

Customer service was very unhelpful. Said they have thousands of RMA's to go through and apparently mine is not a priority. They are willing to keep my money for over a month though. I realize that I'm one customer, and apparently not a very important...

looked like a good deal on the website; should be rated a 0 egg out of 5, but wasn't able to select a 0

Received the product, tried to set up. Machine setup worked until I was asked to reboot the system. System gave a hardware error and would not restart. Was able to power the system down and restart from scratch. Called the MSI service number. Was told...

Simple and Nice Product

- Get a Laptop cooler...(or build yourself a Desktop gaming rig for the amount you are buying this laptop for.) - Plugging in my wired 360 controller was easy as 1, 2....click click click click~ - I hope when that when I give this to my friend, that...

- It's a gaming laptop that can run games like "Lord of the Fallen, Farcry3, Dragon Age Inquisition, (on high, medium, low graphics) - Didn't notice the "huge" amount of bloatware. Just had to uninstall Northon Anti-Virus (no one loves you Northon...

- The setup startup for the Windows 10 O.S. (operating system) gave uneasy messages during install like "This is taking longer then expected" (startup time was probably around 20mins max) - When play-testing Lord of the Fallen, the screen started to...

Good price for what you get

I followed Todd B. review since I had the same issues. FIrst off the laptop comes with windows 10 installed, not windows 8. To stop the issue with the graphics card driver, I recommend once you get into windows 10 the first time, download the latest...

For the price, the specs are good Good build quality

Buy it, then clean install

Should come with a windows CD that says "clean install- without all the useless slowing garbage".

Powerful for the price

Only powerful after you fix EVERYTHING, the software destroys performance on this computer. Outdated drivers can cripple it before you even start. After that boot time and lag will drive you insane, this has only become useable after I had it crippled...
