MSI GE60 Apache Pro-003 review

We're seeing an influx of new and updated gaming laptops, thanks to the March release of the new 800M-series graphics cards from Nvidia . Most of these cards are going into massive 17-inch desktop replacement systems, but it's nice that even some of...

Nvidia's new GTX 860M GPU is the real highlight of the MSI GE60 Apache Pro-003 notebook, along with a high-end CPU and a great keyboard. The Pro-003 is smaller and lighter than most gaming laptops, and it doesn't have the usual overly glossy screen.

This is still a thick, chunky box that's out of step with modern laptop design. The screen isn't a touch screen and tops out at 1080p.

The MSI GE60 combines one of Nvidia's new 800-series GPUs and other high-end components, in a gaming rig that's not the desk-hogging backbreaker some others are.

MSI GE60 (GTX 960M) Notebook Review

Solid gamer. The MSI GE60 is a powerful, yet affordable, gaming notebook. The laptop performs well but suffers from high noise and temperature emissions.

Matte FHD IPS screen, Decent performance, Free mSATA slot, Lots of storage space, Maintenance flap

Cover too easy to deform, Modest brightness

The MSI GE60-2QEWi781 offers sufficient performance to run any game fluidly. However, the laptop gets quite loud and hot. On the bright side, the laptop is equipped with decent input devices and an HDD with lots of space. The user can even install an...

Review MSI GE60-i789W7H Notebook

Gamers' choice? MSI hopes to attract mobile gaming fans with the

Matt screen with good contrast and brightness; 2x USB 3.0; High application and gaming performance; Attractive price-performance ratio; Powerful speakers

Moderate case quality; Noise and heat development during load; Sensitive high-gloss surfaces; Improvement worthy interface positioning; No SSD

We already mentioned one of the GE60’s toughest competitors, but there are a lot of other alternatives with an almost identical configuration. Among these, you will find the Asus N56VZ and Schenker’s XMG A502, as well as 17-inch devices like the Acer...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Had this since January 2014 and it's still going great!

- Runs games at medium to high (which is fine considering I only use it o game when I am away from home). - Can do all my design/editing work just fine (video rendering , photos, graphic design, etc.)

- Battery life sucks, and the only reason I did not take off eggs is because I always have it plugged in for heavy use. There is always a plug to use somewhere. - Should of been cheaper for the fact that the battery life is poor, but it gets the job...

Would be great except one major flaw

I really wanted to like this laptop. I really did. This was the first "expensive" laptop I've ever had and it has been a complete waste of money. I got to where I don't really go anywhere much that would necessitate me taking a laptop since I have...

Strong processor, decent but not great GPU, feels solid, 1080p screen, easy to replace HDD with SSD...... easy to remove heatsink.

Yeah, about that easy to remove heatsink. It is WOEFULLY inadequate to cool this processor. At even the slightest of loads, I'd hear the fan spin up, way up. In fact, this may be the only laptop I've ever owned that is incapable of being even remotely...
