Manual of product Gaming Apache Pro
Editorial note
The MSI Gaming Apache Pro is a laptop that offers solid performance, primarily thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 4th generation processor, capable of efficiently handling demanding tasks with a Turbo frequency reaching 3.5 GHz. The 15.6-inch Full HD screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, ensures exceptional display quality, ideal for an immersive visual experience. Additionally, its hybrid storage capacity, consisting of a 1000 GB HDD and a 256 GB SSD, allows for quick data access while providing ample storage capacity. The design of the device is modern and sleek, with a black finish that catches the eye. The backlit keyboard enhances the user experience, especially in low-light environments. The complete connectivity, including advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, facilitates wireless connections with other devices. However, the MSI Gaming Apache Pro has some drawbacks. Its weight of 2600 g can make it less portable, which could be a hindrance for users on the go. The lack of a dedicated graphics card limits graphical performance, particularly in recent games or intensive applications. Furthermore, the maximum internal memory of 16 GB may not be sufficient for very demanding tasks. Finally, the Windows 8.1 operating system, while functional, is relatively old and may not offer the latest features and security updates. The absence of USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and Thunderbolt connectivity may also restrict options for expansion and fast data transfer. In summary, the MSI Gaming Apache Pro is a good choice for those looking for a high-performance laptop with an attractive design, but it may not be suitable for users with high graphical needs or those who prioritize portability.Score details
