A Super-Slim VR-Ready Notebook! MSI GS63VR Review (GTX 1060)

Nvidia's Pascal Mobile GPUs have apparently enabled gaming notebooks to become quite deceptive in their appearance. Where does this thing get off, being so slim yet having such fantastic gaming performance? Quite rude.

I spent $1700 on an rog laptop with a 970m. Damnit.

128GB OS Drive should die, there is absolutely no fucking reason for manufacturers to still stuff such small drives into these expensive machines, it's a freaking 20usd/eur difference for the 240 gig for the consumer so it's even less for the manufacturers

Still waiting for the 2017 Dell XPS 15

That laptop is thinner than my HP pro book and X10 more powerful...

[ivanallenenns]

That power button is so you can power it on while closed and use it with a backpack or something like that for VR dummy

How does 4k even work on a 15" screen? I sometimes have to squint a little on my 1080p laptop already lol

Seriously. How much have the laptops in the gaming department developed over the last year??

Just last year we had to spend a fortune for laptop twice it's size and one with a 980. And

This laptop might not hit the mark, but god damn does it make me excited for the future

Not only power button, but the power cable too on the right side. Do they think people game on laptops using trackpad?

[ALphcro]

Didn't Oculus lower the minimum VR specs to like GTX 960 not long ago??

USD1699, that a bargain price for high its far cheaper than surface book/pro 4 or macbook pro. I just bought a

An amazing piece of tech, it wrecks my desktop.

I thought the power button on the right side could be useful for people who always hook up their laptop to external monitor for video editing etc. n maybe good gaming experience as well when hook up to external monitor. dont need to open lid everytime to turn on the laptop?

[electricmiragemedia]

For the love of god MSI, please get rid of the gaming logo and get some decent battery life in those things. I'd be all over them.

4:18 Actually the trackpad is in the center. In the center of the keyboard area we use most of the time.
A numpad is really handy when you need it but most of the time we use the letter keys. So if they would include the numpad for centering the trackpad, it would be optically centered but it wouldn't feel centered.

[GZSM]

Lots of people use own laptop as a pc (extended monitor, keyboard, etc.), that's whay the power button is on the left. You don't need to open up the screen to turn on your laptop.

1700usd for x60 nvidia card equipped notebook? are they crazy?

[ares]

Probably going to get full of dust in 6 months.

[swiftlaker]

If you are crying at those CAD prices, the 1080p version $2130 USD in Australia....

Hey guys,
I wanted to share my experience:
1) Track Pad is okay but the click sensation sucks
2) Battery life is better than expected, under daily use.
3) Mobile gaming sucks (Battery) While using power brick well every game max or near max on many titles. If you have desktop you can game for 3hrs plus using steam streaming
4) The 1080p display is good but not very bright
5) Ports are awesome using HTC Vive (no issues with cord length)
6) Internal SSD leaves some to be desired with 500mbps. Considering some would be 1+GB/s
7) HDD is 5400RPM are you kidding me? Swapped for SSD and works fine
8) Processor well its great!
