MSI PL60 7RD [PL60 7RD-002US]

New fashion

The MSI PL60 7RD is a prime example of how much modern gaming laptops have changed in appearance. Thickness (up to 2.9 cm) and weight (2.2 kg) are typical for 15-inch multimedia laptops. The design is extremely conservative: silver unpainted metal of the lid and palm surface, and black plastic of the bottom. Only two large ventilation grilles on the rear panel give out a powerful gaming filling. By the way, even under gaming load, the fans are relatively quiet.

The processor in the MSI PL60 7RD is the most powerful of the four-thread low-voltage - Intel Core i7-7500U, capable of overclocking right up to 3.5 GHz. Next door lives a discrete graphics card GeForce GTX 1050 (exactly the same as in desktop PCs). Despite the relatively small amount of video memory - only 2 GB, this representative of the latest NVIDIA 10-series allows you to play new games even at medium graphics settings at a resolution of 1080p. By the way, the MSI PL60 7RD screen is made using high-quality IPS technology: bright, contrasty and with wide viewing angles.

One disc is good, two is better

The disk subsystem is represented by two drives at once: a 1 TB SATA HDD and a 128 GB M.2 SSD. On the SSD, in addition to the pre-installed licensed Windows 10 OS, one or two more favorite games will fit. As a result, although the MSI PL60 7RD is not the most powerful gaming laptop on the market, it has no obvious flaws, looks neat and weighs relatively little. A possible lack of video memory in the future can be easily compensated for by 16 GB of RAM, but the power of the graphics chip may no longer be enough after a couple of years.
