Editorial note

The MSI CR720 is a laptop that stands out for its optimal performance thanks to its Intel® Celeron® P4500 processor, ensuring smooth use for everyday tasks. Its 17.3-inch screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels offers a pleasant visual experience, although some users may find this resolution insufficient for high-definition content. Its storage capacity of 320 GB allows for a large amount of data and applications to be kept, while the ergonomic keyboard with 103 keys ensures optimal typing comfort. The 6-cell battery provides good autonomy, which is an advantage for prolonged use. However, the processor, while sufficient for basic applications, may show its limits when running resource-intensive applications or for heavy multitasking. Additionally, the internal memory limited to 4 GB may restrict performance in these situations. The lack of modern ports, such as USB 3.0, may also limit connectivity with recent peripherals, which can be a drawback for some users. Finally, with a weight of 3000 g, the laptop may be less convenient to carry, making its mobile use more complex. Overall, the MSI CR720 offers a reasonable price-to-quality ratio, although it may not be suitable for all users due to certain limitations in performance and connectivity.
