MSI GV62 8RD-034 15.6" Thin and Light Gaming Laptop, GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4G, Intel i7-8750H (6 Cores), 8GB DDR4, 128GB SSD + 1TB, Windows 10 64 bit, Steelseries Red Backlit Keys

I bought this laptop for my brother since he is going off to college, but he is also a gamer who plays PC games. He has given me all the information for this review. He says the keys felt very weird to actually use for everyday use like typing. Seemed to have a lot of resistance, but he is used to a mechanical keyboard. The ram is very average, especially when you have multiple programs or tabs open in a browser. Can't go crazy in the tabs or else the ram will reach max capacity quickly. At least the ram can be upgraded, but doing it yourself will violate the manufacturer warranty. He says 16GB of ram would be preferred over the 8. In terms of gaming, it will definitely not be able to run the newest games AAA titles at very high or ultra quality with the GTX 1050ti, but it will allow you play at medium maybe. My brother ran a program called 3DMark which is used for benchmarking computers by running simulations testing the CPU and GPU. He said the computer got an overall score of 1910 after updating the GeForce drivers. In the GPU tests, it got an average FPS of 10.84 and the CPU got 12.16 FPS. He found this to be very weird as usually the GPU is better than the CPU in higher end computers. Also, the overall score is pretty low. A GTX 1080 would score on an average FPS of 44.69. As a quick note, these values are not values taken from actual games. FPS will generally be higher as a GTX 1080 can easily run 60 FPS and higher if not limited by a game. None of the components were overclocked either. USB port count at 3 is lacking for some gamers. If you have a USB headset, a two USB keyboard, and a USB mouse, you will not have enough ports. As well as if you want to charge your phone or attach USB printer cords. The speakers on this laptop are located at the end of your computer underneath where your wrist are when typing. They're not really good in quality or loud. As a gamer, you should get headphones anyway to have a better experience. When the laptop came in, it was not updated to the newest version of Windows 10 Home. My brother had to update the OS and drivers for the trackpad. Could not scroll up or down on a webpage using two fingers on the track pad. He doesn't consider this a big deal as updating is normal. When he got a desktop from iBuyPower, the computer came fully installed and updated with Nvidia GeForce Experience and also removed annoying programs like Norton so you didn't get notifications. Speaking of Norton, you get a 60 day free trial with Norton once the computer is activated. Battery life is short when you are playing video games and running at 50% brightness. About two-three hours. The cooling system is decent, but it is a bit loud if you are doing quiet work or in a quiet area. If you have noise cancelling headphones, you will be fine. Overall, the computer for the price is good. I may have written a lot of negatives, but this was to tell other consumers what they should expect. When it comes to gaming, you pay for what you get. Laptops seem to be more expensive over desktops. Most brands are the same price except for those extremely overpriced like Alienware or Razer for the same specs. For the price, the computer will do its job. Run video games while also being used for college work.

This laptop is lightning fast! After being with my laptop since 2012, it was time for an upgrade. This MSI laptop was the perfect match for me. A price that wouldn't break the bank but it would also fulfill all my needs. I needed something with an SSD, a good graphics card and a powerful processor so this one turned out to be perfect. It boots up in like 3-4 seconds, which is awesome. Windows doesn't lag and most important of all, they don't install a unnecessary programs that slow down your computer and occupy hard drive space. I've been playing Overwatch quite a bit lately and this laptop can handle it with ease. You can also have a 4k monitor or TV hooked up to it which is another bonus. Another cool feature was the button that allows you to turn on the backup fan and also open the "Dragon Center" where you can customize lots of different things. The laptop feels solid (quality build) and it looks sleek and modern. So far I am loving it. If you buy it don't forget to redeem your free copy of the new Call of Duty!

Bought this laptop for my son for college-- he's a gamer and an engineering student, and needs to run CPU-intensive programs. "It's really fast and runs really smoothly." It does seem to pick up oil marks from fingers easily, but it's cleanable and ultimately doesn't subtract from the laptop's performance or quality. His only knock on the computer is battery life-- it lasts an hour and a half. Granted, that is dependent on brightness, airplane mode, etc, and he normally uses it when around a wall outlet, but it nonetheless limits where you can take it. Great laptop if you won't be away from an outlet for long periods of time and are just looking for easy portability and tons of power from location to location.

Straight out of the box the laptop worked perfectly. Looks and feels great, I bought this laptop for $800 on Black Friday, and I can tell you right now, very good for $800. The laptop is very good overall, weight, key board, lighting, screen, design and it runs really well. I could list more positives but I haven't used the computer that much so i'll wait a bit, the only negative aspect I've noticed so far is that the track pad seems to die every once in a while and you have to click to "wake it up", not terrible but it gets annoying. I'll update my review later once I use it more, how it good is it for gaming, where does it peak, where it's limits are, etc. Overall great laptop for $800.

Muy buen equipo calidad precio, despues de 6 meses sigue funcionando perfectamente sin ningun problema, yo la compre en 18000MXN pesos y es una buena inversion, Juegos en calidad alta: Tomb Raider Overwatch LOL Heroes of the Storm

Buena inversion en una laptop de gama gaming, corre sin ningun problemas los juegos mas recientes que hay en el mercado actual

Increíble calidad precio con la única desventaja de la duración de la batería aunque esto es normal en laptops de este tipo

Una excelente computadora, aún estoy en periodo de prueba pero los materiales y rendimientos excelentes.
