Editorial note

The MSI GL72M 7RDX stands out for its high performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ processor that reaches a frequency of 3.8 GHz. This makes it an ideal choice for users looking for a laptop capable of handling demanding applications and modern games. Additionally, its 17.3-inch Full HD display offers immersive picture quality, while the combination of a 1000 GB hard drive and a 128 GB SSD ensures quick access to data and generous storage space. However, this model also has some drawbacks. Its weight of 2700 g can make it impractical for on-the-go use, especially compared to lighter models. The lack of an optical drive limits certain storage and sharing options, and while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card is adequate, it may not meet the demands of the latest games or intensive graphic applications. Furthermore, the lack of USB 3.2 Type A ports and Thunderbolt ports reduces connectivity options. In terms of user experience, the modern design and backlit keyboard make it easier to use in low-light conditions, while the 6-cell battery offers reasonable battery life. However, the weight may limit its practicality for travel. Finally, although the value for money is partly justified by the quality of the display and storage capacity, some graphic limitations could disappoint the most demanding users. Overall, the MSI GL72M 7RDX is a powerful and stylish laptop, but potential buyers are advised to consider its drawbacks based on their specific needs.
