MSI GS73VR 7RG (i7-7700HQ, GTX 1070 Max-Q, FHD) Laptop Review

Finally, a GS notebook with quieter fans. The MSI GS family has always been popular for its attractively thin design and enthusiast-level horsepower. Incorporating a Max-Q GPU is perhaps the best thing to happen to the series as it directly addresses...

excellent 120 Hz TN panel with fast 3 ms and 5 ms response time options ; faster than GTX 1060 without consuming significantly more power ; respectable CPU and GPU temperatures when gaming ; quieter than most "standard" GTX gaming notebooks ;...

The MSI GS73VR 7RF is less an upgrade and more a refinement. Where the 6RF was an overhaul of MSI's 17.3-inch thin-and-light line, the 7RF is the completion of that idea. As such, it improves upon the positives of its predecessor but keeps the cons as...
