Editorial note

The MSI GF62 8RE is a laptop that stands out for its impressive performance, thanks to its Intel Core i7-8750H processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card. These features ensure a smooth experience for both gaming and multitasking applications, making this device an attractive choice for demanding users. The 15.6-inch Full HD display with LED backlighting offers exceptional picture quality, while the backlit keyboard makes it easier to use in low-light conditions. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The lack of USB Type A and C ports limits connectivity options for modern peripherals, which can be frustrating for some users. Additionally, the front camera resolution is limited to 720p, which may not meet the needs of users looking for superior image quality for video conferencing. The weight of 2200 g can also make the laptop less convenient to carry for those who are often on the go. Regarding battery life, while it is acceptable, it may prove insufficient for extended sessions without access to a power source. In terms of sound quality, the four built-in speakers provide an immersive experience for gaming and movies, thus compensating for some limitations of the device. Overall, with a combined storage capacity of 1128 Go, the MSI GF62 8RE offers good value for those seeking solid performance.
