Viewing angles are great though colour drop-off does become a factor when viewing at angles more than 45-degrees. It lacks the supreme refresh rate of, and the G-Sync that is available on, the MSI GT73VR that we’ve reviewed but it still holds up well. The MSI GE62VR 7RF Apache Pro features a 15.6-inch Full HD 1920 x 1080p panel that has a refresh rate of 60Hz. However, the left and right click buttons are quite good, they aren’t too noisy and require just the right amount of actuation force. Meanwhile, there is no friction swiping up and down. However, this provides friction when swiping left and right. Instead, the trackpad has a rough texture that is meant to match the brushed aluminium. Yes, MSI provides a SteelSeries mouse with the laptop, but you would think that the trackpad would at the least be as good as a normal laptop’s would be. Sitting below the keyboard is one of the most confusing trackpads I’ve ever tested. You can light the keyboard with a variety of colours, however, the colouring is in zones and not per key. When it comes to typewriting, the keyboard performs exemplary. The result is a very comfortable and quick gaming experience. The ergonomically designed keys have a travel distance of 1.9 mm which allows for quick actuation speeds. Instead, this gaming laptop (and others in the MSI brand) features a keyboard by SteelSeries and by far it has to be one of the best laptop keyboards I’ve come across. But this isn’t an ordinary laptop keyboard. Meanwhile, on the right-hand side of the laptop, you have an SD card reader, a USB 2.0 port and a DVD super multi-drive tray.Īs I mentioned above, the MSI GE62VR 7RF Apache Pro comes with backlit keys. On the left-hand side, you have a smattering selection of I/O ports including a microphone jack, headphone jack, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port, an HDMI port and a mini-display port. The lid is also a bit stiff, and as a result is a bit difficult to open one-handed. This won’t be an issue when you have it placed firmly on a desk but expect a bit of rattling when moving around. Meanwhile, the bottom plastic chassis feels and sounds as if a few screws are missing. The top monitor lid is very flexible so you’d want to be careful about putting too much weight on it for fear of bending it and destroying the structural integrity. However, the overall build quality isn’t the sturdiest. Black speaker grills at the front of the laptop cement the idea of looking at a nuclear powerhouse. Barring the LED lighting and a thin red bit of plastic on the front, it’s mostly a dominant black all around, which quietly exudes power. The jet black brushed aluminium lid and black plastic chassis combined with the red LED backlit keys are beautifully eye-popping, especially with the “breathing” effect on the LED keys. The MSI Dragon Logo burns brightly on the front lid of the laptop thanks to some LED lighting but it’s not till you lift the lid up do you appreciate the appearance of the laptop.
