MSI GL62M 7RDX gaming laptop review

This JB HiFi Exclusive costs more, does less and weighs less than other MSI low-end gaming models

Fully featured ; Powerful 2D performance

Limited to older, competitive games

This JB HiFi exclusive is a lighter and a bit more expensive than similar MSI gaming laptops. But the 1050 chip is only suited to older, competitive games.
