Editorial note

The MSI Classic CX72 is a laptop that stands out with a 17.3-inch screen offering a HD+ resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels, ensuring an immersive visual experience, ideal for multimedia and multitasking. With 8 GB of DDR4 memory, expandable up to 32 GB, it ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks. Additionally, its 750 GB hard drive provides ample storage capacity for all your files and multimedia content. The NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card with 2 GB of dedicated memory allows for decent graphical performance for light gaming and multimedia processing. Finally, wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 4.0 ensures fast and reliable connections. However, the weight of 2800 g may make the laptop less convenient to carry, especially for frequent travel. Moreover, the screen resolution may seem insufficient for users seeking superior display quality, particularly for multimedia activities or graphic design. The lack of USB 3.2 ports and Thunderbolt connectivity limits fast data transfer options, and while the Intel® Core™ i3-6100H processor is adequate for basic tasks, it may show signs of weakness with demanding software or recent games. Finally, the absence of a touchscreen may disappoint some users who prefer direct interaction with their device. Overall, the MSI Classic CX72 offers good value for money, but the limitations in connectivity and screen resolution may deter some buyers. Performance is adequate for regular tasks, but users looking for more advanced graphical or processing capabilities may need to consider other options.
