MSI GS73VR 7RF Stealth Pro (15.6-Inch, 2017)

Smooth 1080p gaming performance. 4K display. Roomy 2TB hard drive and 512GB SSD. Lots of ports.

Expensive for its components. Flimsy build. Graphics card can't make use of 4K-resolution display for gaming.

Ultimately, I cannot recommend the MSI GS73VR 7RF Stealth Pro based on its pricing and build quality. Perhaps another configuration, particularly one without a 4K screen, would be a better value, but my misgivings regarding the construction would...

Powerful hardware in a super slim package. Processor, hard drive, keyboard and audio all come from the top shelf.

Geforce GTX 1060 card only. You may well find faster computers for the same price, but then they become bigger and heavier.

Making a laptop that can be used both for gaming and every day use is a balancing act. MSi GS73VR manages it, even though we think professional gamers will look down at having to settle with the third fastest graphics card on the market. You can easily...

One of the slimmest and lightest gaming devices of this size;Responsive 120 Hz screen with vibrant colors;RGB backlit tactile keyboard;No aggressive PWM-adjustment;Color accuracy is on point with our Gaming and Web design profile

Loud even at low levels of load;Tends to get really hot on the outside, especially on the bottom;Poor viewing angles;Super hard for a non-pro to upgrade and disassemble

Great display and performance. Love the keyboard.

The keyboard lights don't stay the same colour when you want them to. The ssd drive is a bit small.

great laptop can handle any game

extended warranty only 3 months

This is a beautiful machine with excellent design and build-quality. It booted up quickly and after waiting through a ridiculously long Windows update (I chalk this up as a Microsoft issue), it was just a simple case of uninstalling all the bloatware...

The amount of bloatware (but this can be fixed using a batch uninstaller like Revo or PC Decrapifier) The battery life is terrible. Mine typically lasts about 1-2 hrs on normal to heavy use. If you are thinking of using this for long periods off of the...

The laptop is amazing has good performance. Fast light thin perfect. Super cooler for what I use it. I love it.

Needs a clean format after you get it, due to the bloatware apps or system configs it brings gets laggy. Keyboard lightning required a Piano effect for more coolness when typing! You can't set up specific colours key by key.

Performance is amazing!

Expensive - but then you get extremely strong performance and good looks in one

Great design. Very speedy as expected due to pcie ssd. Excellent screen. Overall a fantastic purchase.

May run hot when gaming due to thin design but not a huge deal. Opt for the 256gb pcie ssd if its within your budget as 128gb is way too small due do predownloaded software being up to 50gb.
