NAOOWWW!, July 2, 2018 By Jason Kim (Minnesota USA) This review is from: MSI GV62 8RD-200 15.6" Full HD Performance Gaming Laptop PC i5-8300H, GTX 1050Ti 4G, 8GB RAM, 16GB Intel Optane Memory + 1TB HDD, Win 10 64 bit, Black, Steelseries Red Backlit Keys (Personal Computers) I love this laptop! So many functions for gamers. I got the 8th gen i5, but honestly it's still better than the 7th gen i7. I was a bit concerned about the 5400rpm 1TB drive, but the Optane totally takes care of the data transfer lag! Add in a heat flush button, awesome styling, and perfectly placed buttons and this thing rocks. I can play every game I've wanted to and almost all of them on full settings. It's light and durable and has enough inputs to go with anything. Best laptop I've had in a decade! 76 of 76 people found the following review helpful Great laptop, with just a couple of quirks!, August 3, 2018 This review is from: MSI GV62 8RD-200 15.6" Full HD Performance Gaming Laptop PC i5-8300H, GTX 1050Ti 4G, 8GB RAM, 16GB Intel Optane Memory + 1TB HDD, Win 10 64 bit, Black, Steelseries Red Backlit Keys (Personal Computers) So overall, this is a very solid laptop for the price, it offers a lot of bang for it's buck. If you're looking for a good mid-level laptop for on the go gaming, this is most definitely the choice for you. The laptop doesn't come with a lot of bloatware (actually there is virtually none, which was very refreshing to see), and you get a lot of power from easy overclocking of the CPU. The MSI Dragon Center is great for clocking your CPU speed to exactly what you need it at, so you can go from gaming to relaxing with a quick click of a button. What surprised me the most was how light it is, this laptop is not beefy at all and doesn't feel bulky when sitting on my lap. Having a gaming laptop that I can rest on the couch or even my lap is wonderful. There's only two cons that I have with this, the fact that the out of box partitioning is weird and that this laptop will act very differently when being run off of the battery and not plugged in. Let's start with the partitioning...

This is my first Amazon review. I bought this computer primarily for work, because I hate slow machines, and because I also occasionally play games. My 5/6 year old Lenovo Yoga couldn't run Ori and the Blind Forest and I had given up on enjoying any of my games. This laptop runs Ori and Okami and Hollow Knight and Skyrim and the Witcher 3 and pretty much everything I love to play. Now I will say, I came from console so I wasn't chasing 60fps. I am happy playing at 30 or higher. For it's cost I get great performance. If I felt it was important I would have bought the next thing up with a 1060 GTX to get better framerates on newer games (60+ on PUBG and Fortnite).
As far as using it for work, it's a blissful dream. It loads fast and launches fast. No more waiting as the computer mentally stalls. At any time I can open it up, jump into my work, and immediately finish what I'm doing and move on.
My favorite purchase so far. |
