Our take on the GE Series GE72 Apache Pro-029 17.3 laptop

The MSI GE72 Apache Pro-029 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop built around a quad-core Intel Core i7-6700HQ and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 2 GB of video memory. It pairs 16 GB of DDR4 RAM with a 128 GB SSD for the system and a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive for games and files, and it runs Windows 10. The big screen and full-size chassis suit desk use and multimedia more than travel. Against newer gaming laptops its graphics chip is dated and the battery is small for the size, but the processor, memory and dual-drive setup still handle everyday work and older or lighter games well.

Questions and answers

Is the GTX 960M still good for gaming?
It handles older and lighter titles at 1080p, but current demanding games need lower settings or won't run well. Treat it as an entry-level card by today's standards.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
RAM is expandable to 32 GB, and the 1 TB hard drive can be swapped or supplemented. The 128 GB SSD is small, so adding a larger drive is a common upgrade.
How does it compare with newer MSI gaming laptops?
Newer models bring much faster graphics, higher refresh screens and longer battery life. This one wins mainly on its large screen, strong CPU and dual-drive storage.
Is it too heavy to carry daily?
At about 29 mm thick and a 17.3-inch footprint, it is a desk-first machine. Occasional travel is fine; daily commuting is not its strength.
What comes in the box?
The laptop, its 6-cell battery and a power adapter. Check the listing for any extras before buying.
Does it run Windows 10?
Yes, it ships with Windows 10. Support for that version has ended, so plan for an upgrade.
