MSI GT72 2QE wins Editor's Choice Award (PC Comparatif, France)

PC Comparatif, a media from France where lies the capital of fashion and lives users who are picky and have high quality standards, after comparing the G751 with MSI GT72, gave MSI GT72 2QE the Editor's Choice with a full score rating.
Quate in English (translated)
"Throughout the whole reviewing process, we had been asking ourselves whether we could find enough reasons, after our thorough examinations, to give this model a maximum score. The suspense lasted until the very end. We finally confirmed that it was indeed the latest model we had tested recently that had such a privilege to win this compliment. If the G751 makes us exciting (especially its silence and the aggressive price), GT72 possesses all those features and there is no denying that GT72 surpasses the G751, not necessarily in terms of power since both have equal components, but in terms of features/functionalities. MSI did not fail to make this model an ideal alternative for the desktop gaming environment...All those elements have already made GT72 a great choice. But in the end, the decisive variable is the product upgradability: MSI GT72 supports completely change of the GPU, the core component for gaming machine, so that you can keep your configurations the most update ones. Given the investment one has to make in a portable gaming machine, this option shouldn't be just a dream. "
Quate in original language (in French)
"Durant tout le temps de ce comparatif, nous nous sommes demande si un produit allait finalement trouver suffisamment grace a nos yeux pour que nous lui accordions la note ultime. Le suspense aura dure jusqu'au bout, puisqu'il s'est avere que c'est le dernier modele qui est passe entre nos mains qui a eu ce privilege.
Et si le G751 reste notre petit coup de coeur, eu egard a toutes ses qualites (son silence, notamment) et au tarif tres agressif qu'il arbore, on ne peut nier que le GT72 le surpasse, pas necessairement en termes de puissance, puisqu'a composants egaux, tous les modeles se valent, mais plutot sur le plan des fonctionnalites, MSI n'ayant veritablement rien omis pour faire de son poulain une alternative ideale a un environnement destop gaming...Autant d'elements qui font deha du GT72 une reference. Mais finalement, l'argument decisif aura ete l'evolutivite du produit : MSI supporte, en effet, pleinement sur les GT72 le changement du GPU, composant central s'agissant d'une machine gaming, en commercialisant des kits de mise a jour pour ce dernier. Compte tenu de l'investissement que represente un portable gaming, cette possibilite devrait en faire rever plus d'un"

  • MSI GT72 2QE screen and ram

    Hello,
    I bought a MSI GT72 2QE-476NL. Some sites say its a IPS screen and some say its a TN..
    Is there a way to check what screen i have?
    Also i want to add a extra 8GB ram, but i cant find what type i have now, the 1 slot that is in use is not visible from the back..

    the RAM is DDR3L 1.35v or less
    other than that is just DDR3L the L means low voltage
    the screens in almost every 17in MSI are TN based you do see some IPS at 15 and smaller
     but not as much as other mfgs
    i need to know how much ram you have then i can tell you how much you can add
    the GT72 2QD base has 4 sodimm DDR3L slots ratted for 1600mhz
    the 12GB models have 4GB+8GB in the slots under the keyboard leaving both bottom slots open
    the 16GB models have 8GB+8GB under the keyboard still leaving the slots under the keyboard open
    the 24GB models have 4GB+8GB under the keyboard and 4GB+8GB in the bottom meaning all slots full
    the 32GB models are full 8GB X 4 and this is max ram supported
    as far as i know they are all running at 1600mhz effective DDR3 my 12GB model 2QD 406 has 9-9-9-20 timings at 1600mhz 1.35v without your full model number or the first 8 char and number from the Serial number i can't say much more

    The dynamic contrast on my laptop is driving me crazy, and I can't seem to find a way to disable it.  I disabled both adaptive brightness in power settings, as well as dynamic contrast enhancement and color enhancement in nvidia control panel, to no avail.  Has anyone found a way to disable this?

  • MSI GT72 2QE Internet traag

    Hallo allemaal,
    Een week geleden heb ik mijn laptop binnen gekregen en over het algemeen ben ik zeer tevreden.
    Het enige waar ik niet tevreden op ben is de snelheid het internet. Download en upload snelheid is prima (bv bij het gebruik van een torrent) maar bij het openen van webpagina's gaat het enorm traag. Meestal zegt chrome dat de pagina niet gevonden is waarna hij bij het herladen de pagina in één keer laat zien.
    Websites waar ik al vaker ben geweest gaan meestal wel iets sneller.
    Als opsomming, down en uploaden gaat super snel, alleen het openen van websites is tergend traag.
    Wie helpt mij!

    i do apologise, when I logged in on the Dutch part of this forum I was redicted automatically.
    Problem has been solved anyway, many thanks

    ↑ Looks closer, it's actually very thin, slim and sexy.
    ↑ The GT72 design inspired by matte black racing cars.
    ↑ The full silver and glowing MSI Dragon Army logo emblem at the back matte black aluminum lid is incredibly sexy.
    ↑ The four side of it
    - A total six of USB 3.0
    - A SD card reader (which pretty useful for myself as a photographer that carry laptop around)
    - One Ethernal connection
    ↑ And the Matrix Display setup: a HDMI v1.4 output, two mini display port, which gives you four active displays gaming experience at once including the laptop itself, with up to 4K resolutions   .
    ↑ You will able to experience a personal home cinema kind of experience with the true 2.1 Dynaudio speaker system, that you will never heard in any other notebook.
    ↑ And the six major features which exclusively on MSI Gaming Series. Besides the laptop comes with a year international + one year local warranty.
    ↑ There are five express button at the left of the keyboard, which provide the fastest way to switch on/off some hardware/software features (From the top):
    - Power button
    - GPU (When not using it you may switch it off to get a longer battery life. It requires a system restart.)
    - Fans (Same as GPU, sometimes isn't really need it such as having web browsing)
    - XSplit GameCaster quick launch
    - Quick SteelSeries profile switching. (Between backlit setting, key customization and others)
    ↑ Exclusive keyboard positioning and golden triangle layout offers a better gaming experience.
    ↑ We can change the keyboard backlit into any color with the SteelSeries engine, especially on LAN party, I must say it's pretty eyes catching!
    ↑ It provide a few effects as well, such as WAVE, SOUNDS (It growing with the beats of a song) and more.
    ↑ On top of the 17.3 inches screen, it’s a Full HD (Up to 30fps in 1080p) webcam, which pretty useful for broadcasters who do streaming on Twitch, with the simple, easy to use XSplit Gamecaster feature.
    ↑ This “potable” power machines comes with a Delta Electronics 230W power brick. For your information the others MSI gaming laptop power supply physically doesn’t fit on GT72, as it require a little more power supply than usual to give it a full strength.
    ↑ Besides the GT72, there’re some goodies/freebie/useful stuff tag along:
    - A Keyboard cover protection
    - A SteelSeries Kinzu V2 Gaming Mice MSI Edition
    - A SteelSeries Siberia V2 Gaming headset MSI Limited Edition
    - A soft mousemat.
    ↑ There are MSI logos printed on the packaging
    ↑ As you can see there's none extra button to click like all the typical gaming mice out there on the SteelSeires Kinzu V2 Gaming Mice. Basically it's a very clean and basic gaming mice.
    ↑ Unfortunately it isn't the gold plated USB, but free gift, you know. It'll take it still!
    ↑ And not to forget it fit MAC as well.
    ↑ A sexy dragon printed on it, just love how they design the mouse mat!
    ↑ It’s easier to carry around, by putting it between the keyboard and the screen. Don’t worry, the thickness will definitely not an issue.
    ↑ A list of the drivers, instruction book, a set of collectable MSI dog tags and so-on.
    ↑ The Siberia V2 from SteelSeries
    ↑ The difference between Siberia MSI Limited Edition and a normal Siberia you seen in the market are the MSI Limited Edition comes with a nice and bright red surface done, and many cool logos on it.
    Let’s talk about performance and benchmark:
    A bunch of performance test on CPU-Z:
    ↑ From CPU-Z we can tell that GT72 Dominator Pro using a Intek Core i7-4710HQ 2.50GHz with four cores.
    ↑ GT72 using their own motherboard, which from MSI.
    ↑ The only different between a MYR9,999 and a MYR11,999 GT72 Dominator Pro is the capacity of the RAM: 16GB and 32GB.
    ↑ It getting 604 in CPUmark.
    ↑ GT72 equips with Super RAID 3 512GB SSD, which provide a 5 seconds start up time(From button to desktop). Average getting a 1,586 MB/s READING speed, and 1,325 MB/s WRITING speed on ATTO Disk Bench Mark.
    ↑ And the HDD getting an average 133 MB/s READING speed and an average 131 MB/s WRITING speed.
    ↑ Tested it with another software, and got a result of 1422 MB/s READING speed and 1081 MB/s WRITING speed on SSD, isn't that much differences from the test above.
    ↑ A 125 MB/s READING speed and 105 MB/s WRITING speed on HDD.
    ↑ Take a look on GTX980MB
    Benchmark by using 3DMark Professional Edition:
    3D Mark 11 Advanced Edition:
    ↑ On ENTRY level
    ↑ On PERFORMANCE level
    ↑ On XTREAME level
    Besides on gaming performance, it's very important to make sure it support casual works as well.
    ↑ On PCmark 8 HOME for some common home computing test: 4653
    ↑ On PCmark 8 CREATIVE for experts and proffesionals: 5445
    ↑ On PCmark 8 WORK for some simple office productivity test: 4401
    ↑ On PCmark 8 STORAGE to test SSD & HDD: 5017, and getting a average 330 MB/s Storage bandwidth.
    At last, we'll be doing CPU heat test:
    ↑ Before we run the test, the cores temperature is around 40 degrees, and 33 degrees on hard disk.
    ↑ After we had run for a 30 minutes maxed performance test, with full fans on, we're getting 75 - 80 degrees on CPU cores and unbelievable still 33 degrees on hard disk.
    To be honest, after tried on GT72 Dominator PRO, I just can't live without it anymore.
    The BattleField 4 running smoothly with photoshop on background, I can finally play some video games while taking a break on my photo editing and graphic design works, in the coffee shop of course.
    Although it looks pretty heavy, but it's actually much portable than I thought, in facts it's phenomenal thin for such a powerful performance beast.
    Carry around with the backpack it provided isn't a difficult task at all.
    Besides, one last thing to show:
    ↑ Sexiest design that let the heats never became an issue anymore.

    yeah.... with so much different angle and good quality, they are truly good photo shooting pieces!

  • Plextor PCIe M.2 2280 SSD to GT72 2qe

    I recently bought a MSI gt72 2qe dominator pro with the nvidia 980m graphic card 8gb - 1tb harddisk - Intel i7 2,5 ghz - 8gb memory.
    I want to upgrade this with an SSD disk. I bought Plextor PCIe M.2 2280 SSD (model: PX-G256M6e).
    I have tried follow your guide:
    The problem is that the computer never find or recognizes the ssd disk. This only makes me format the already installed harddrive.
    What is the problem? I have tried updating my Intel rapid technology. I have tried booting in legacy. I have tried switching the ssd to ssd2 port in the m2 sata rack.
    Have i bought the wrong m.2 sata disk? Why does the computer not recognize the m.2 sata disk, it fits correctly in the m.2. sata rack.
    Is "PCIe" compatible with M.2 SATA interface?? I dont know what this Means..

    Welcome to the club! I bought the wrong drive too! - Although I did so after phoning MSI and asking them if the drive was okay... they said yes, it wasn't. LoL.
