Top Amazon Reviews
This will be a detailed review for those looking to know some things about the laptop. Firstly, this computer comes with Windows 10, so you will be running on the latest Windows Operating System (OS) once you've set it up. The version I purchased was the i7-6700HQ 12 GB RAM version, for $779 which was a great deal. $1000 still isn't that bad for the performance, SSD, and extra RAM you get (12 is enough for most people, unless you are a really heavy multitasker), but I would make sure to check for any other cheaper laptops that offer similar performance for a cheaper price as prices change all the time. PLEASE NOTE: You must perform system updates to make sure your computer is up to date (which it won't be as it's been sitting in a box for some time) and check through all of your drivers in the "Device Manager" to make sure those are up to date as well. Reportedly some people have had trouble with the Wi-Fi at first, so you may have to plug in an Ethernet cable from your router into the RJ-45 Ethernet port and then update the Wi-Fi and other drivers. ONE THING YOU MUST NOTE: Your audio drivers may not function properly and the laptop audio quality may sound horrendous. This was what happened to me, so you have to go to MSI's site and download their audio drivers directly from the site. Here is the link: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GL62-6QF.html#down-driver&Win10 64 Simply find the "Audio" driver (roughly 360 MB) and download it. Other drivers are also available if need be. Gaming and Rendering/Content Creation | Processor: I have not purchased this laptop for gaming, at least for now, but the GTX 960M graphics card does provide some good 1080p performance on every game at Medium detail or better. Many games can run on High detail though and some on Ultra detail. The 960M has 2 GB of RAM, which is pretty much enough to run all current games at 1080p, so no need to worry about the vRAM (virtual RAM, term used for graphic card RAM). This laptop is also nice for 3D Rendering and content creation/streaming. The processor is an i7-6700HQ which is pretty powerful so streaming to Twitch and other services will not be an issue. It has a clock speed of 2.6 GHz (powerful enough for streaming right then and there) with a turbo boost to about 3.5 GHz (usually only needs to go up to about 3.1 GHz though). The processor has 4 cores and 8 threads, which is great for multitasking and heavy tasks. Battery Life: Not the greatest, but it is to be expected of a mid-level gaming laptop. You will get roughly 3-3 1/2 hours of battery life from normal tasks, such as browsing the web and watching videos. You may get close to 4 hours if you're lucky. Any extensive tasks (e.g. gaming, rendering, streaming, etc.) will definitely eat at the battery pretty quickly in about an hour or less, so be sure to have a charger handy. Keyboard: It's a pretty nice keyboard that is somewhat softer than cheaper laptop keyboards, even though it still isn't the best. It's definitely doable though. The keyboard does not come with RGB lighting to my knowledge. Storage: The version I have purchased comes with 12 GB of RAM, a 128 GB SSD (solid-state drive, wicked fast boot performance and program load times. Windows 10 will be running on the SSD), and a 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (hard drive, which is a lot slower than an SSD but it is a bit faster than your typical HDD). Store your favorite programs on the SSD for fast loading times and performance, while storing documents and videos and other big files on your HDD. The C: drive is always the drive with Windows on it, so in this case, the SSD is the C: drive. The D: drive is the HDD. If you get confused, simply look at the space and you will see it is relatively close to the 128 GB SSD or 1000 GB HDD. The RAM is enough to run all current games and open many programs. It is DDR4 RAM as well, which is faster than DDR3 RAM. Screen/Weight: The screen I have is a 15.6" Full HD laptop, which means the resolution is 1920x1080p. The display is an LCD IPS (in-plane switching) Matte display, which is great because the viewing angles are nice and Matte means it is not reflective. It weighs about 5.3 lbs, which is not light but it is not super heavy. Cooling: The cooling is pretty good. You have two fans ready to go if need be, with only one working during normal tasks and the other one sitting idle. There is also a button on the computer (right above the "INSERT" key and to the left of the "G" button) that turns on both fans at full speed if you ever needed it to run that high. This is most certainly not a quiet fan though, as the fan always seems to be working at around 3200-3300 rpm during normal tasks, which is definitely noticeable to the ears but you can get used to it. I have used Sony Vegas Pro 13 and it runs at about 170 degrees Fahrenheit (76.67 degrees Celsius). That is very warm, but definitely not super hot. This laptop cools properly. My older one with Sony went above 200 degrees Fahrenheit and even needed to have an external fan cooling it in order to prevent overheating. This computer generally always runs below 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38-39 degrees Celsius) with normal tasks running, which is pretty cool. Side things to note: - This comes with a Norton trial period. Once that is done, please do not purchase it. Instead, make sure Windows Defender is on. It will get the job done. - "MSI Dragon Gaming Center" can be used to monitor your computer, although the Task Manager is definitely much more handy and recommended. The Dragon one is pretty much for quick stats, such as CPU % usage and fan speed. I will add to this review over time if new things arise. Overall, this laptop is definitely a good mid-upper level laptop with good performance all-around.

I'm rating the machine for others to make a purchase decision, therefore, 5 stars. Very happy with the machine. WARNING: If Amazon advertises "Next Day Delivery", DON'T BELIEVE IT. I ordered the machine on a Thursday morning, paid extra for next day delivery on Friday. My previous 6 yr-old laptop died and I needed it Friday and through the weekend for a critical assignment due on Monday. Received an email at the end of the day on Thursday notifying me that the machine would "as I ordered it": "Two Day Delivery - Will Arrive on Monday". WTF????!!! After several calls to rectify the situation, I was stuck because the machine was already picked up by UPS and could not be expedited once it had been picked up by the carrier. Amazon claims it was ordered as "Next Day". UPS says it was ordered by Amazon as "Two Day". NOTE: When you order on Thursday, "Two Day" at UPS means "Four Day" 'cause it ain't coming until MONDAY. I was forced to find another laptop and finally located a friend that was gracious enough to let me borrow his, download a bunch of software (that he didn't want or need on his machine) so I could get my project done for the class by Monday. Thanks Amazon. That was awesome. Maybe I'm beating a dead horse here, but when you advertise something,... DELIVER on the promise. Most of the time, when I order online, if it comes in 3,5,7 days, it's irrelevant. But I ordered THIS MACHINE specifically because it was advertised to be delivered NEXT DAY. "Order in the Next 5 hrs and 17 minutes for delivery on Friday, May 6th". Hey Amazon, WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS???? Now back to the machine: Everything works just as I expect it would. Windows 10 is a little weird (but that's no surprise right?). I guess there is actually one flaw that's bugging me: The numeric keys on the right end of the keyboard tend to bind in their slots. Rather than the smooth downward stroke, they bind and then "snap" as if you had to break the plastic loose from the molding web. I've been just pounding the keys when the machine if off trying to loosen them or wear them out a little so they'll stop sticking. This machine is advertised as a "gaming" laptop, so it must be configured for heavy use and high heat. I'm using it for college courses and for work (lots of spreadsheet work), therefore my issue with the numeric keys. But since I'm not working it to death as a "gamer", that must be the reason why the machine rarely turns on a cooling fan. If the screen wasn't on, you'd swear the thing isn't running; it's that quiet. My previous laptop had a fan running all the time. All in all, I'd recommend it. Just don't expect to get it when Amazon tells you they "can" deliver it.

I bought this computer because I had a very specific list of specs and this ended up being the best one I could find within my price range. I took note of some of the negative reviews but I have a lot of friends who recommended MSI, and I really wanted a laptop with the option to upgrade certain parts later on. Now onto the review: PROS: *I like to play games with very high settings and this laptop has no problem running them. I've had some lag a couple of times, and those mostly ended up being my fault (not correctly installing mods) but for the most part everything runs smoothly *The screen is HUGE. At first this was kind of annoying to me, as my last laptop was 13 inches and I had gotten used to a smaller screen. But after a while I got over it and really the large screen is great. The only negative on that is if you're the kind of person who needs your laptop to be truly portable. There's no way I can lug this thing around campus all day (luckily I have another smaller laptop just for that but keep this in mind if you plan on carrying your laptop around a lot). *The screen is also very high quality. The color range is great. You don't have to do too much adjusting to see the entire screen: everything is clear at pretty much any angle *Cooler boost! I didn't think it would ever be useful but I use it a lot while gaming. I've never had an issue with this laptop getting so hot it affected performance, but I love that I can cool it down when I have it sitting on my lap. And it has to be great for your laptop that you can cool it down that much. Overheating is what killed my last computer. *It has a number pad, which some people hate but personally I prefer having one. Sure the keyboard is off center but it always takes some getting used to when using a different sized keyboard than you were. CONS: *The speakers are waaaaay too quiet. Like if I'm watching a movie and no one else is home and it's completely silent I still have to put my face next to the speakers to hear it. I usually end up using headphones, and I always have subtitles on when I play games, but that can be pretty annoying (like when I'm playing Skyrim I never hear the dragons coming). If good sound is important to you and you don't want to have to get external speakers, look elsewhere. *Within two days of buying it Windows 10 updated and the computer kept randomly shutting off. I know this is probably a Windows issue but just be wary of when you update. All it took was a system restore to get things working again. As you can see I love this laptop, and have had minimal problems. To address some things I've seen others complaining about: *The programs that come pre-installed aren't junk!! They're performance tools and can be used to adjust the computer's settings to optimize usage, specifically during gameplay. I can't imagine they take up that much space, considering how much memory the computer has. And the laptop always has the option to upgrade the memory so there's that. *I saw a few people complaining that the laptop is flimsy. My laptop doesn't feel flimsy at all. I did notice a bit of give in the bottom of the laptop but that was only when I decided to hold it by placing one hand underneath, which isn't the best way to hold a laptop anyway. It is made from plastic, so I get that it's not as sturdy as metal, but unless you plan on dropping it a lot you should be fine.

Some tips if you don't want to read the long review. If audio system go weird/ microphone weird, echo Turn off Nahimic2. I got weird echo, did the research, turned it off, problem solved. Wireless driver, and general driver problem. I didn't have any issue with wireless driver. If you are considering updating the driver, left bottom search for device manager. View the list, if you see a exclamation mark, update the driver. Otherwise I wouldn't suggest that. The newest version might means incompatibility. MSI help desk problem Anyone has that? It's equipped, MSI software designed to let you know the status of the laptop. But every time I click on FAQ it crashes. I don't remember the problem but if you have seen the same problem, you can find the description in event viewer/ application. Tried uninstall/reinstall/find the newest version in MSI website. Not solved. Event ID 10016 This is a problem that has appeared sometime (a few months) ago, maybe win10 related. I got it a lot. Tried to fix it. Seemed fixed. If you see it happens in event viewer for many times and it causes reboot/blue screen/etc for you, leave a comment. I don't think I've seen a general reason causing that? I am trying to write my experience down before I totally forget about it... %--------------------------------------------- Update in feb 18 I guess no one is reading... Anyway, now I've returned the item. I didn't request a replacement, since it's been a while and I realized I've spent too much time on it. Not worth it and I don't want to risk. %--------------------------------------------- Updated after 10 days of receiving it I was considering: yea, maybe because I did too much trouble shooting and did something wrong (though I did ran a system file checker from microsoft and nothing was wrong). So I did a factory reset. Deleted everything. It looked... normal. Then I tried to find device manager to see if drivers are good. Then it started go wrong!!!!! Super slow! No response!!! And then I checked event viewer, lots of errors. And then, I opened the help desk from MSI, WOW. Checked the fourth photo. I mean what the hell, I haven't done anything that could be wrong??? While I am typing on my mac now, the screen either black screen or flash. Yep, I am not touching it and only task manager, event viewer and help desk running, the screen is still flashing at times. I am not gonna guess what's the problem. That's my title. Not for my schedule I would return it now. No %--------------------------------------------- Updated after a week I am getting my replacement later (can't do it now but will do in Feb, have already talked to amazon rep. Btw amazon rep is really trying to help, thank you). I saw people saying that you should update your drivers... Well. My main issue for this laptop come exactly from driver. Both the Intel one and the NVIDIA one. Things started go wrong when I started playing Assassin's Creed 3 (FREE on uplay now!), everything was SHAKING. I don't know how to describe it, and thought may be it's because the game was designed that way? But then it just got worse even after I finished the tutorial. I decided to check, spent a night, realized that if I shut down the 'battery boost' in that updated, newest version of NVIDIA setting, it went back to normal. OH MY. Well I thought this was a relief. I was wrong. Some time later it came back, and game started crashing. I checked the event viewer, it was the NVIDIA driver. I went to MSI website, try to download it (359.00 at the time which is outdated), uninstalled the one I had, installed this one, got several reboot and freezing in the way. It didn't solve the problem... ( Did the same with intel driver, use several versions of driver. This isn't the whole story, probably only 10% cause I have had many other blue screen issue which I don't know if it's driver or what. Always happen in game. I am giving up on this (maybe I should do earlier). I don't know what to suggest... Maybe not updating and see if it works out? I started by updating all the driver, got things weird, roll back, still weird, in the end a total mess. I'll...give a second try.... But that's it, if the replacement doesn't work out, I'll just leave the 1 star here. We'll see. Envy you who get everything works out smoothly... Attach the blue and yellow screen I had last night when doing the trouble shooting with driver. Not hard to see cause eventually upon entering the game it crashed. Sometimes in event viewer it is from the thing called 'nvl' (forgot the full name but did the search, it's nvidia driver related). First time ever seeing yellow screen. Every time it's different stop code though. Spent over half the nights debugging... Wish everybody good luck. %---------------------------------------------- Updated after another day I shouldn't say that the drivers work well... Or shouldn't I be so confident. I tried to uninstall the intel proset wireless whatever driver and could not get it reinstalled or uninstalled, no connection now.... Remember, if everything works, don't mess around with it. %---------------------------------------------- Used for two days I am not a hard core game player and I am feeling ok with it. Have been macbook user for over two years. Before that used win laptop but feels a long time ago. Still trying to get used of win 10. screen 2.5/5 Switching from mac to win, I am feeling very disappointed. Not sure if it's just me or it's general issue, the resolution seems worse than 1080p. Again, I am no hard core so not gonna return for that. Especially for some apps, the reso is sooooo low, like steam in mac. Have no idea what's wrong. keyboard 3/5 It's... ok. I am not having too much issue with: 1. no backlit 2. uneven design. But the touch is somewhat... too hard? Maybe I am just not very used of it. *driver I am NOT having any issue with my drivers, it connected to wifi with no problem. I am not sure what happen with other people's laptop. I did use some software to update all my drivers but before that everything is fine. fan 4/5 well it's cool, at most warm sometime but it's fine. The only problem I have is that no matter when, even if youre not running game, the fan is still running like at full speed so could be a little bit noisy? I don't know how to change the setting but am ok with noise. others 4.5/5 so far so good. Forgot to mention that it died once and I checked the activity log, and update a driver (intel rapid something). Now it's ok. and case is kinda fancy.

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. UPDATE: Still absolutely love this computer. Lots of people say they are having sounds issues. Found the root. Delete the nahimic enhancer that comes stock and reinstall from nahimic website the Nahimic 2 app. It will allow you to adjust the actual spesker output. Since doing this, computer can be almost uncomfortably loud. It will definitely change your outlook on this laptop.

Style: GTX 960M i7-6700HQ 8GB
4/26/2016: One of the best laptops that you can get for only $1,000. Though it does have some bloatware, easily can be removed. Playing all of my games in high quality, no problem. Though, this laptop seem to have disk issues. 5/4/2020: It has been 4 years since i have had this laptop and i can say for a fact that it has gone through a lot of abuse with me. The storage of 1tb is all you need unless you are doing some heavier tasks such as video editing. For gaming, the laptop is ok considering it's been 4 years and games have gotten more graphically intense. If you're looking to play games which aren't heavy on the graphics such as League, then you'll be fine. Please note that for some reason, some of the MSI laptops have been having start up issues. The one i'm currently experiencing is that it's stuck on the MSI logo and won't boot. Please note that it has been 4 years and i could have either fried something or my laptop is just dying from old age. Still a great laptop overall and i can't say i regret my purchase.

It's okey in term of performance I had 2 problems with it: 1st: Intel's GPU stops working when I browse sites with full of images and GIF. Solved by downloading Intel(R) Driver Update Utility 2.6 and updating the Intel's GPU. 2nd: The hardware makes buzzing sound and I believe it's the GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M. It always makes this annoying noise even when I don't play games.
