MSI provides a good alternative to the established competition with its W72 workstation. The high and load-stable performance of the 17-inch workstation is particularly compelling. The diversity of interfaces, screen quality, and maintenance options...

very good overall and CAD/3D performance, outstanding temperature management, USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 3), easy to maintain with lots of slots and interfaces, decent IPS display

rather expensive, large and heavy, GPU switching requires a reboot, performance heavily throttled on battery, color space coverage could be better, based on gaming platform

With the WT72-6QME workstation, MSI delivers a solid update to an already very decent product. While the performance of the Xeon E3-1505M CPU isn't groundbreaking, it does offer support for ECC RAM, which in turn increases reliability. Speaking of...

The MSI WT72 also incorporates Intel's high-end i7-4720HQ mobile CPU, which runs at 2.6 GHz with Intel's Turbo Boost technology overclocking the system as high as 3.6 GHz on a single core, which works well for AutoCAD. This CPU competes favorably with...

Powerful performance ; Quadro M5500 GPU ; Plenty of ports and connectivity options ; Impressive display

A hefty device ; Expensive ; Poor warranty for a workstation ; This laptop's gaming roots are noticeable

This is a compelling VR-ready performer thanks to the powerful Quadro M5500 GPU, and there's plenty to like, but it doesn't come cheap, and the relatively flimsy warranty is a worry.

-Fast -Lots of data storage -Very reputable brand name

-The boot drive (128GB ssd) is too small - MSI added a second "\" key next to the spacebar, which pushes everything to the right one key. To make up for the space, they put the right arrow key where the left of the of "0" key is on the numpad. I always...

-Fast -Lots of data storage -Very reputable brand name

-The boot drive (128GB ssd) is too small

Purchased for one of my engineers who works out in the field. Yes, it is huge but provides mobile computing with CAD and exceptionally large spreadsheets.

AutoCAD complains that it doesn't contain a certified video card despite MSI saying it's a certified laptop. Not sure who to believe but so far no performance issues.

This was a gift to someone who is not a gamer. For clear font display, video, fast floating calcs in complex spreadsheets, performance is excellent.

Delivery was slower than the 4-7 days indicated. Battery life is very short. A more capable battery would drive up the cost somewhat, so MSI gambles that most users will use such a large laptop plugged in.

Top of the line components, upgradable, good keyboard feel, and nice screen. Seemed peppy for the little bit of time I spent on it, never installed any software.

Poor quality control. The red LED's on the right keyboard section were stuck on and the CD door required me to tap the case to get it to pop open. Size, this thing very thick. The keyboard is small, like they stuffed a 15" keyboard on a 17" laptop....
