Msi gt72vr review in Spanish (full analysis)

Technical Features MSI GT72VR 6RE

Unboxing and design

The laptop arrives in a large cardboard box with a cover full of information. Specifically, this model incorporates the game The Division from ubisoft for free (these details are always appreciated).

Once we remove this cover we find a red box that incorporates the laptop inside.

Once we open and extract all the accessories we find the following bundle:

MSI GT72VR portable gamer .Instruction manual and quick guide. Power supply and cable.

The MSI GT72VR is a fairly large model with 17.3 inches and FullHD resolution . The screen is made of a TN (LED) panel that improves response time and speed in games. It incorporates the AntiGlare technology that improves the angles and brightness that often fail to design these screens.

The laptop is well designed and is a somewhat thick model, something logical for everything inside with a thickness of just 5.8 cm, which demonstrates the great work that the people of MSI have done with this unit in the back, but at I change the air vents are generous and the number of ports very generous Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, headphone output, microphone input, six USB 3.0 connections, a USB 3.1 Type-C connection and RJ45 LAN. And the card reader? Also includes it?

The lower part exhibits all of it in black and we can see various grids through which the cooling system takes the necessary air to dissipate all the heat generated during its operation.

We look at the keyboard and we are in front of a high quality membrane unit, the touch and the path of the keys is very pleasant so it will be quite comfortable to use. Includes an attractive high quality LED lighting system signed by Steelseries. Just below is the usual trackpad so that we can use the equipment without the need for a mouse.

Above the keyboard we find the audio output, the 4 + 1 speakers are made by Nahimic Dynaudio to achieve remarkable sound quality for what is common in notebooks.

As for the processor we find an i7 6700HQ, with 4 cores and 8 threads based on the Skylake architecture at a frequency of 2.6 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz with a TDP of 45W.

For the most curious, that the processor ends in -HQ means that it is a socket FCBGA 1440 processor, which indicates that it is soldered to the board and not on the socket, a decision that unfortunately prevents us from changing it for a higher model.

In RAM they have opted for a 16 GB kit in dual channel, a very generous amount to go over several years and nothing out of the ordinary in these ranges. They are DDR4L (1.2V) modules as required by Skylake for greater energy efficiency and superb performance.

On the storage MSI has opted for a SATA M2 drive this time, specifically with 256 GB enough to install the operating system and all your applications. As extra storage it incorporates a data hard disk it is a mechanical unit of 1 TB and 7200 rpm. Although if you buy it, we recommend that you replace it with a 500GB or higher SSD so that current games always run at maximum speed, the equipment generates less heat and above all we do not have vibrations.

The graphics section is quite remarkable with the presence of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card with a total of 2048 CUDA Cores accompanied by 8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface and a bandwidth of 256 GB / s. With these specifications we can play any game (the processor is equivalent in itself to an i5-6600K) in Ultra and without messing with the attached resolution. It also allows us to get the most out of it, in case you plan to buy them in the near future, the new HTC Vive virtual reality glasses or the Oculus Rift.

We would also like to highlight the Eye Tracking Tobii technology that thanks to its infrared follows our gaze and allows us to move with the game camera. That is to say, imagine that we are playing Doom 4 and we want to observe any corner, the sensor picks up our gaze and the event is streamlined. Do you need configuration? The Tobii software must be calibrated with our interface and with it it will be automatically operative.

Now we leave you some nice photos of the equipment on.

And finally, the quality of the screen from various angles. What does an IPS look like?

Test of performance

MSI Dragon Center allows us to personalize, monitor, take control from your smartphone with various applications. The first contact with her has been quite good and we have seen a good evolution with respect to previous generations.

Between tests we have passed normal 3DMARk Fire Strike, its Ultra 4K version and Unigine Heaven. The magnificent results, at the level of a desktop computer.

We have also been able to verify that the read and write rates of the Crystal Disk Mark of the M2 SATA SSD that it incorporates complies with what is established by the manufacturer: 470 and 445 MB / s.

WE RECOMMEND YOU MSI GTX 1660 SUPER: a look at the Gaming X and Ventus XS versions

And here the performance tests with several very demanding titles and the most played of the moment.

The temperatures at rest are magnificent thanks to its excellent refrigeration, when we put a lot of cane it reaches the graphic card up to 81ºC, quite contained temperatures since it is a Gamer laptop.

Final words and conclusion about MSI GT72VR 6RE

MSI has been a favorite brand in Gamer notebooks in Spain for a few years and is that the launch of its new series of MSI GT72VR notebook compatible with virtual glasses, playing all the games in Ultra and a spectacular design make it the most popular model. recommended from the market in a scale of 2000 euros.

Going into more details on its technical characteristics, we recommend that it incorporates an i7-6700HQ processor, 16 GB of RAM memory, an Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card, Killer wireless network card, backlit steelseries keyboard, a 256 GB SSD hard drive together to a 1 TB HDD for data and 4 speakers plus Dynaudio subwoofer.

We would also like to highlight the Eye Tracking viewer with Tobii software that allows us to move through the games following our gaze.

In our game tests we have seen that in Full HD we have moved titles like Doom 4, Battlefield 4, Mirror's Edge and Deus EX Mankind Divided without any complications with filters in Ultra. We have also done tests with the HTC Vive virtual glasses and the result has been excellent, we have not missed a desktop computer to move all the power that this technology requires.

About its autonomy we can say that it is not the strong point even if it incorporates 9 cells, since it is not what it intends. It is a team to play and work which requires being almost always connected. " At least playing he drinks it " in less than 1 hour.

This specific model is currently available in the main ones for a small price of 2, 000 euros. Reviewing other superior models, we value the price of the current equipment and its excellent performance. Every euro you invest in it is worth it, making it a 100% recommended purchase for those users who need to take their laptop everywhere and do not want a desktop as a laptop.
