Editorial note

The MSI GE72VR Apache Pro-418 is a laptop that stands out for its optimal performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 processor and 16 GB DDR4 memory. These features ensure smooth usage, whether for gaming or demanding applications. The 17.3-inch Full HD screen offers exceptional image quality, ideal for an immersive experience during gaming or movie watching. Additionally, the advanced audio system with four speakers and a built-in subwoofer enhances this sound immersion. However, the model has some drawbacks. Its weight of 2700 g makes it less practical to carry, which can be a hindrance for mobile use. Furthermore, the lack of Thunderbolt and DVI ports limits connectivity and expansion options for modern peripherals. The NiMH battery technology may also provide lower battery life compared to newer lithium-ion batteries, affecting prolonged use without recharging. In terms of value for money, the MSI GE72VR Apache Pro-418 offers good performance and features, but the absence of certain advanced technologies like NVIDIA G-SYNC and CUDA may limit graphical performance in some cases. Finally, the lack of a numeric keypad could be a disadvantage for users who need to regularly input numbers, and the front camera resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may not meet the expectations of those seeking high image quality for video calls.
