Editorial note

The MSI Workstation WT72 is a powerful laptop, ideal for users with demanding performance needs, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 processor and NVIDIA® Quadro® K3100M graphics card. These features make it an excellent choice for tasks such as graphic design and video editing, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience. Its 17.3-inch Full HD display offers exceptional picture quality, making multimedia use enjoyable. The backlit keyboard is an asset for working in low-light environments, thus enhancing the user experience. However, the weight of 3780 g limits its portability, which can be a drawback for those seeking an easily transportable device. Additionally, the lack of a touchscreen may restrict interaction for some users. The battery life is also a weak point, as it is not specified, which could pose a problem during prolonged use without access to a power source. In terms of connectivity, the MSI Workstation WT72 offers good options with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth, but the lack of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports limits the possibilities for connecting to modern peripherals. Finally, although the price-to-value ratio is interesting due to its generous storage capacity of 1128 Go, the pre-installed operating system, Windows 7 Professional, is now outdated and may not benefit from the latest security updates. In summary, the MSI Workstation WT72 is a high-performing and well-designed laptop, suitable for demanding tasks, but it has some drawbacks in terms of portability and connectivity.
