It sports a relatively simple design although it adopts the gamer codes with its black color and touches of red.
It has a cooling system with a double fan and 6 heatpipes using the Cooler Boost 4 technology, as well as Dynaudio technology offering good sound quality, and Matrix Display, which enables content to be displayed on 2 external screens (at the same time). maximum).
The SHIFT function is also part of switching between different modes of operation alternating performance and reduced energy consumption: Sport, Comfort and Green.
The MSI GL72M 7REX is a versatile 17-inch performance-oriented, gaming-oriented notebook.
However, take into account the fact that to take full advantage of the power of this computer, it is necessary to install on a complete system such as a Linux or Windows distribution.
For example, NVIDIA Optimus technology can be used to evaluate the graphical needs in real time according to the tasks requested by the user. If necessary, Optimus switches automatically and in real time between the processor-integrated Intel HD 630 and the dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.
Optimus favors as much as possible the Intel HD 630 despite its modest benefits because it is energy efficient and promotes autonomy compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti more greedy and powerful.
The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti here in 4 GB version is in practice able to rotate a maximum of games as long as you agree to the settings under titles demanding graphics resources to get good playability. Whether with the Intel HD 630 or the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, it is of course possible to view photos and videos.
The screen adopts specifications that lend themselves well to this use with its 16 / 9th format and its Full HD definition ideal for displaying High Definition content. Anti-reflective coating, the screen also offers better visibility than a bright slab in bright environment.
Connectivity side, this laptop architecture around an Intel HM175 chipset is there also equipped with USB 3.1 Type-C, mini video outputs DisplayPort and HDMI convenient for easily connect to a TV for example, its wireless modules Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.2 for remote connections and communications, its Ethernet and audio ports, not to mention its 3 USBs including 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
Storage side, this computer has a hard drive with a large capacity of 1000 GB which remains to know the speed. In any case, an M.2 slot is free to add a dedicated SSD to gain capacity and responsiveness.
However, this computer is quite responsive to use since it incorporates a Kaby Lake Quad Core processor i5-7300HQ associated with 8 GB of RAM. It delivers strong overall performance.
Such components guarantee much faster operation than a dual core processor and 4 GB DDR3 / 4, the difference being particularly noticeable in the CPU and RAM resource-intensive areas taking advantage of multicore architecture such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.
As for the chiclet keyboard, it has a key backlight system very convenient to distinguish correctly when the ambient light is low.
