Editorial note

The MSI Gaming GT72VR is a laptop that impresses with its exceptional performance, thanks to the Intel® Core™ i7 processor and the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 graphics card. This ensures optimal smoothness in games and an enriching user experience, particularly with its 17.3-inch screen and Full HD resolution, providing a pleasant visual immersion for multimedia content. However, this model has some notable drawbacks. Weighing 3780 g, it can be impractical for those looking for a lightweight and easily portable laptop. Additionally, the lack of USB 2.0 ports and VGA ports limits connectivity with some older peripherals. While the storage capacity of 1256 Go is generous, the Full HD resolution may not satisfy demanding users in search of 4K screens. From an ergonomic perspective, the modern design is somewhat marred by the high weight. The absence of a numeric keypad may also pose difficulties for users who need to input data quickly. Despite these limitations, the value for money remains attractive, especially considering the advanced features and impressive storage capacity. In summary, the MSI Gaming GT72VR is a solid choice for gamers and demanding users, but its weight and certain connectivity shortcomings may not suit everyone.
