MSI GE62 (15.6-Inch, 2017)

4K IPS panel, Lots of storage space, Fast SSD, Good input devices, Two free M.2 slots, High performance

Display cover can be bent too easily, Modest brightness

The MSI GE62 is a powerful 15.6-inch gaming notebook. Most games run at high resolutions (Full HD) and high settings fluidly. The notebook is equipped with an SSD and an HDD, which offers users the advantages of both devices. The 4K IPS panel did not...

The GTX 1050 is a decent entry-level gaming laptop GPU, providing much better performance than integrated graphics. Kaby Lake brings a faster, leaner CPU than last-gen models. Functional design with great keyboard.

Terrible display. Cheaper GTX 1050 laptops exist; this model is approaching the price of GTX 1060 systems. Bulky design.

Starting with the build quality of the system we were fairly impressed with the GE62 2QD Apache. Brushed metal lids are fairly common but often manufacturers skimp on the palm areas (as an example) but that is not the case here. Although not as slim as...

If I had to sum up the MSI GE62 2QD Apache in a short sentence, it would include such words as manificent, blingy, premium and quality. Ok so that was a sentence too which featured all those words but I guess you get the idea right? The GE62 2QD...

Great value for money ; Excellent specification for the price ; Impressive keyboard backlighting options

Awful Battery Life ; No Blu-ray drive

Our first review of a sub £1000 gaming laptop has found the GE62 2QD Apache to come up trumps in several areas but it is not without its flaws. Overall we have an excellent specification including a Quad Core i7-4720HQ CPU with a turbo speed of 3.6Ghz,...

Ready to go, right out of the box! Quick set up for WiFi and internet.

after 5 months of using this every day now having issues with the laptop turning off and restarting at the most inopportune time.

For the price the laptop is decked out in great hardware. Looks cool and the keyboard is nice and love the custom colors that can be used to backlight the keys. New Egg gets 5 eggs for price and shipping.

Out of the box the laptop is so loaded with apps it takes forever to boot and shut down. Windows 10 is a joke.. first update that is forced completely borked the system. Take the load and shut down time that i mentioned earlier and add another 10%...

Plays Fallout 4 relatively smooth on Ultra. I haven't had much time to game with it though. Aside from some minor Windows 10 hiccups it runs flawlessly.

-Mainly the battery, even on power saver with barely anything running in the background I can only get an hour to an hour and a half tops.

-It runs great -videos and games look/sound amazing -even tho I couldn't spring for the added SSD it is still fast -very easy to do college work on it -it looks so good

-fans are a little loud -wider than i thought it would be but still portable -fed ex..... -can't keep my hands off of it :(

a lot lighter than i thought it was going to be. really fast handles a lot of games on a high an ultra graphics the xsplit software it comes with makes streaming a lot easier

when i got past the set up after using it the video driver force a blue screen but once it did the update I've restarted the computer about 5 times and have yet to have it happen again if you use the xsplit software to stream it changes your default...
