MSI GL72 6QF Xotic PC Edition Notebook Review

 

Big screen, affordable price. The MSI GT72 may be the flagship model, but there are plenty of mainstream options from the same manufacturer. We check out the new GL72 starting for just under $1000 USD with GTX 960M graphics to see how it compares in...

low core temperatures under load ; strong CPU and GPU performance ; affordable for the hardware ; relatively easy accessibility ; USB 3.1 Type-C Gen. 1 ; modular optical drive ; wide sRGB coverage ; NVMe SSD

poor bass reproduction; no dedicated subwoofer ; overly cool color temperature out-of-the-box ; no native Thunderbolt 3 support ; warm touchpad and keyboard ; low display brightness ; no keyboard backlight ; poor battery life ; no IPS options ; loud...

The key advantage of the MSI GL72 lies in its starting price of just $1000 USD. Given this price, users get a powerful Core i7-6700HQ CPU, GTX 960M GPU, NVMe SSD, modular optical drive, and generally accessible internals for troubleshooting or basic...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Really pleased with it overall

 

Recommended for anyone that wants a great, portable gaming rig but not an AMAZING one. It's definitely worth the price, but there are better machines at higher prices. If you want a mix of cost and performance consider this laptop.

It's a great upper-mid level gaming machine, has flawlessly run everything so far at "High" or better settings.

They key sizes leave something to be desired in a few places but a-z are all fine The built in speakers are woefully inadequate, and this is exacerbated by them being mounted on the bottom of the case. Expect to wear headphones or attach external...

Great laptop

 

It is a pretty good laptop for the entry gamer. With its high performance of Core i7 and graphic card- 960 M, and enough for office works and gamings. Besides, there is no overheating issue, which surprised me.

From now, .... No issue I have met.

New MSI owner and loving it

 

First MSI laptop. Have owned Alienware and I actually prefer this. I would highly recommend this laptop.

Handles office productivity as well as gaming. Fast I5 processor. Not one problem. Fast delivery. Win 10 runs great, boots in about 20 seconds, 17.3" screen, discrete graphics

wish this model had the backlit keyboard. Had to turn down the touch pad sensitivity for typing purposes. Its large and my big hands would brush against it.

Dead pixel

 

I just received the laptop today, started it up, and noticed a dead pixel on the right center of the screen. Never even set up windows, called newegg, got Rma, and sent it out the same day. Disappointed needless to say. Msi has a great reputation,...

Decent price Great entry level gaming laptop. Neweggs great customer service.

Dead pixels on screen, right out of box

Monitor died

 

I cannot recommend this computer at this time. I may update this review with additional feedback once the RMA process has completed.

Computer was stylish looking and came with three gifts, a backpack for storing the computer (the most useful thing), a mousepad, and a toy (??? I'm 50, do I really need this?). I bought this computer primarily to use in my effort to finish college...

Lack of reliability. The monitor died after only one week of usage.

Everything I wanted and more!!!!!

 

If you are a gamer it is awesome. If you simply want a laptop for entertainment and surfing the web....it is equally as awesome.

I am not a gamer but, this is the perfect computer for Entertainment. The picture is extremely clear and it is fast.

I love it so I can't say anything negative.

Way more than I expected. But, that's not a problem!

 

I'd both recommend this to friends and if my wife wants one I'd buy this MSI Notebook again.

I have worked with PC's all my computing life. This is MY 1st notebook. Ya, I've used work laptops and friends laptops, Owning one is way better! More than I knew I was getting reading the specs. For example, the USB-C port. I didn't know til today...

I have not had any issues that I can list.
