June 18, 2016 This review is from: MSI GL62 6QF-893 15.6" GAMING LAPTOP NOTEBOOK GTX 960M i7-6700HQ 12GB 128GB + 1TB WINDOWS 10 USB TYPE-C (Personal Computers)
I've had a Retina Macbook Pro for the past 4 years and I needed a new computer since it's nearing the end of its lifespan. I wanted a Windows machine this time around to save on expenses and wanted a computer in the ~$1000 price range. This fit the bill and is overall a really great machine for the price.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Two hard drives (128GB SSD & 1TB HDD) leave you with TONS of space. My Macbook only had a 256GB SSD (granted, in 2012, that was great), but having a lot more space now is really nice. I store all of my software on the SSD and keep all of my data on the HDD.
- Great graphics card, processor, and RAM for the price. For under $1000 you really can't beat it. I play both League of Legends and Overwatch on this machine and they both not only run really smoothly but look GREAT, and also use various Adobe applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) as well with no issues. Also, if you need to ever add more RAM, I believe this model supports up to 32GB...

Great Gaming Laptop at a Great Price,
March 1, 2016 Just received the computer in the mail, and for the amount you spend it is fantastic thus far. Primarily use the computer for Skype and league of legends. Computer runs smoothly, and had an average of 150-200 fps while gaming on very high settings. Fantastic laptop from the little I know about it, but will update as time goes on. Screen is fantastic, coming from a 15" laptop. I certainly recommend the MSI GL72. Amazon screwed me over with shipping, however. As a prime member it took me nearly two weeks to finally recieve the computer, because they shipped it UPS ground. Very unhappy initially, but customer support pulled through in the end and made it worth the delay. Certainly bang for the buck with this laptop, coming from a similarly priced Asus (complete garbage). From what I have seen its a great, affordable laptop for gaming.

works amazing easily one of my best buys
pros:
-runs everything in ultra settings
-hasn't had any over heating problems (can monitor internal heat and has a button for faster fans and has dual exhaust vents)
-has not crashed or stuttered on me
-has the appearance of a badass computer
-pre installed software is useful and not very annoying for the most part (looking at you norton)
cons:
-norton trial period
-battery life is 2 to 3 hours depending on intensity of use (but if plugged in no worrys)
-keyboard looks a bit... strange the keyboard is short and a very rigid rectangle but you'll get used to it quickly
