This review is from: MSI GE Series GE72 Apache Pro-003 Gaming Laptop 6th Generation Intel Core i7 6700HQ (2.60 GHz) 16 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 2 GB GDDR5 17.3" Windows 10 Home
Pros:
Fast, thin, great display. No issues with wireless, that seems to work well.
Cons:
Gets somewhat warm with use, which you'll notice on the left side. The textured trackpad has its issues, and tweaking the Synaptics settings will help, but if you're hardcore-gaming, go with a mouse. Some, but not alot of, bloatware. If you're coming from an SSD, if you don't get the SSD option with this, get used to some wait-time, especially with boot-up, which takes 45s to a minute or so. The included drive is reliable for me so far, but I'd say it's a little slow for a 7200.
Overall Review:
Got this to replace an older MSI I had, that had issues at the end of it's 5-year life. I loved that laptop, and this one is very good, but a sticking point for me (a rather big one) is the trackpad. At times it's unresponsive, period, it requires a good deal of force sometimes to 'click' much less 'click-and-drag', and double-clicking (on the pad itself, not using the buttons) may move the mouse position, which to me is more than a little unforgivable. It does get warm on the left side with use, but not hot.
