Editorial note

The MSI GL73 stands out for its powerful performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2060 graphics card. This combination ensures a smooth experience, ideal for gaming and resource-intensive applications. The 17.3-inch Full HD display, with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, provides immersive visuals and optimal display fluidity, while the keyboard backlighting enhances the user experience in low-light conditions. However, the weight of 2900 g makes this laptop less convenient to carry for frequent use on the go. Additionally, the lack of an optical drive and Thunderbolt 3 port limits certain connectivity options and access to specific media. Although the storage capacity is generous with a 1000 GB HDD and a 128 GB SSD, the base configuration with 16 GB of RAM may be insufficient for users with high multitasking needs. Finally, the NiMH hybrid battery technology may restrict battery life compared to modern alternatives, which could reduce usage time between charges. Despite these drawbacks, the MSI GL73 offers good value for money due to its combination of performance and features, although it is essential to consider the mentioned limitations for specific use.
