MSI GL62 6QF Notebook Review

 

Problems with the competition. The MSI GL62 is supposed to be an attractively priced entry-level gaming device. Customers get a quad-core processor and a decent Nvidia GPU for 1100 Euros (~$1218). The 15-inch notebook still has a hard time against the...

high application performance ; compact dimensions ; switchable graphics ; low weight ; subtle design ; good touchpad

unnecessary system noise while idling ; SSD with performance fluctuations ; no keyboard illumination ; no USB 3.1 Gen. 2 ; wobbly lid ; weak battery ; only 2 GB VRAM ; mediocre sound ; TN display

At a first glance, the GL62-6QFi781H11 might appear to be a cheaper alternative to MSI's more expensive gaming notebooks. And there is actually not much to criticize in terms of performance. Quad-core CPU, GTX 960M and solid-state disk: Quite a lot for...

MSI GL62-6QC 065UK review

 

The MSI GL62 is a low-cost 15.6-inch gaming laptop. From looks alone you could assume it costs over £1000, but at its entry-level spec is less than £600. Is it a bargain or false economy? Read our MSI GL62-6QC 065UK review to find out.

The MSI GL62 looks like a pretty plain entry-level gaming laptop at first, but it has a few neat tricks up its sleeve. Not everyone’s going to love the SteelSeries keyboard, but its mechanical key-inspired feel is something different, and its display...

Great Laptop, has some cons

 

The largest letdown for me is the NVME "support", everything else is great. The fingerprints may irritate you a bit, I recommend just don't look at it in the sun.

Pros are pretty good, -The keyboard looks great, -Gaming performance is nice with a 970m and skylake I7 inside, can play most games on ultra/high. -The Cooler Boost 3 keeps my computer nice and cool when gaming (although the dual fans are so loud it...

The cons are pretty simple. -The laptop attracts fingerprints like it is its job. -The NVME drive support is pretty terrible, couldn't find an adequate guide anywhere and BIOS does not actually show that I have a samsung 950 Pro plugged in, even though...

Interesing Change in Design

 

I agree with others that the screen is super flimsy by far the worst of all the MSI laptops I have owned, but I have yet to have any issues with it. Anyone who is looking at an MSI laptop is usually going for the easy of access to the back panel for...

Lightweight, Fast, Supports NVMe M.2 2280 SSD which is amazingly fast! Nice to have the ability to turn on fans to 100%

I can feel the heat through the keyboard when playing high intense games (Blade & Soul, Paragon) I am forced to turn on turbo fan mode. Turbo fan mode is LOUD (like you better have a headset and loud music playing) - Though its nice to have this...

Good specs and performance for the price

 

Overall this isn't the nicest looking or nicest feeling laptop but the specs are pretty good for the price range if you're hoping for an affordable laptop to play newer games on. I definitely wouldn't buy this model if I was hoping to upgrade it...

- Able to run most modern games on medium-high settings - Fans are great, the laptop stays relatively cool even after playing for hours at a time, plus there's also the Cooler Booster feature (I haven't had to use this yet) - Nice bright 1920x1080...

- Screen feels flimsy compared to other laptops I've had - The black matte finish on the machine is horrible, it's a fingerprint magnet and always looks dirty - The plastic on the bottom is sharp so it's painful to rest your wrist/arm over the WASD...
