Our take on the MSI 17.3" Gaming Laptop

The MSI GL72M 7RDX-800 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core i7-7700HQ and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 2 GB of video memory. It pairs a 128 GB SATA SSD with a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive and 8 GB of DDR4 RAM that can be expanded to 32 GB. The large 1080p IPS-level screen runs at 60Hz, so it suits people who want desk space and screen size more than high-refresh competitive play. Against newer gaming laptops it is dated: the GTX 1050 handles older and lighter titles, not current demanding games at high settings.

Questions and answers

Can it run modern games?
Only at low settings and frame rates. The GTX 1050 with 2 GB VRAM is an entry-level card from its generation, so current demanding titles will need reduced settings, while older and lighter games run well.
Is the RAM and storage upgradeable?
Yes. Memory can go up to 32 GB, and the 128 GB SSD and 1 TB hard drive can be swapped or supplemented, which is the usual fix for the tight stock configuration.
Is the 60Hz screen a problem?
For competitive shooters, yes, since faster panels show smoother motion. For single-player games, media and general work the 1080p IPS-level panel is fine.
How does it compare with newer MSI gaming laptops?
Newer models move to newer CPUs and GPUs, higher refresh screens and NVMe storage. This one trades that performance for a large screen and dual-drive storage.
Is it good for work as well as gaming?
The quad-core i7-7700HQ with 8 threads and the large screen suit office work, browsing and light editing. Heavy video work will be limited by the 8 GB of stock RAM.
Where is the MSI 17.3" Gaming Laptop cheapest?
At SparkSatchel, for $52.82, as of our latest check.
