Still, let's get real for a moment: MSI you need to upgrade the battery. The unit weighs just under 6lbs, which isn't light, but isn't awful either, and 6lbs is still light enough to be carried around for a day without any serious discomfort. Overall, the MSI GE72VR Apache Pro is a solid gaming notebook that works as a mid-range desktop replacement that can still be taken on the go. With a unit of this size, I would expect a bigger battery to be included to keep things going for longer. Watching a DVD, you will get just over 2 hours. Gaming will only get you just over 30 minutes. While I doubt it will be a problem, I would like to see that reinforced in later models. While the frame feels solid overall, the screen bezel has some flex to it, which is a bit concerning, even more so due to the unit's size. That said, I expect there to be readily available access points for user-changeable components on a 17'' notebook that has an MSRP of $1599.99. However, MSI seems to be letting that slide. Worse yet, gaining access to those components technically voids the warranty. The most pressing is the lack of access hatches for the HDD, RAM, and battery. No Superfish debacle to find here.Ī few issues do standout. The lack of miscellaneous bloatware is also a huge plus. Not necessary, they definitely make for a nice inclusion. Feature-wise, the MSI GE72VR is much like the GL62 in that the Dragon Center software offers a unique hub for the various hardware and software control panels users will access most, while the "Cooler Boost" feature allows users to manually max the fans out in order to improve cooling performance. The backlighting also offers a nice bit of flair for those who want it. The Steel Series keyboard is a chiclet keyboard, which, while common for laptops, is not awful compared to some I have used - it actually feels pretty good. The 1920x1080 display is actually an AH-IPS panel from LG, but it is sadly only a 6-bit panel, though its viewing angles are still good, so that's a plus. In fact, it will sit there yawning at you to find it some real work most of the time. The i7 6700HQ offers exceptional CPU performance and proves to be more than a match for daily tasks. It absolutely dominates today's games with ease, and the inclusions of an SSD and an HDD for storage means boot times and load times are good.
When it comes to the MSI Apache Pro GE72VR, gaming performance is its specialty.
