MSI GE620 Gaming Laptop Review (Core i7/Nvidia)

HQV Benchmark 2.0 is an updated version of the original tool and it consists of various video clips and test patterns which are designed to evaluate motion correction, de-interlacing, decoding, noise reduction, detail enhancement and film cadence detection.

There are two versions of the program, standard definition on DVD and high definition on BluRay. As our audience will be concentrating on HD content, so will we.

This has a total of 39 video tests which is increased from 23 in the original and the scoring is also up from a total of 130 to 210. As hardware and software gets more complicated, the software has been tuned to make sure we can thoroughly maximise our analysis.

We connected the MSI GE620 to an external LaCie 730 monitor for image quality testing.

  1. Great Buy for a gaming laptop

  2. That is a fantastic price. I bought an ACER a few months ago with a core i5 for not much less than that. im gutted 🙁

  3. I saw this in a local store and was impressed. the most annoying thing I found was the reflections. its very very reflective. in the store, the lights made it hard to even see the screen it was that bad.

    The keyboard is ok, its some great bits shoved into a mid range chassis. I like the price however. amazon are selling it for £100 less than our local store.

  4. I actually like the appearance, but it is rather ‘samey’. the hardware inside is impressive, must be one of the lowest prices online for those specs.

  5. Its worth it for the processor and graphics alone.

    It looks fine to me, and I like the USB ports on both sides. do they offer one at more money with 1080p screen?

  6. Just ordered one for myself. excited !

  7. I already have this product and i think the review is fair. I dont really rate the screen either, but I think you can buy a better 1080p version for a little extra. dont see it listed anywhere however.

    Its very fast though and I do some rendering on it in 3dstudio max. its very good value for money. recommended from a happy customer

  8. Good price indeed. I bought the new Asus high end 17 inch which cost me £1700. It has 1.5tb of storage and 560 m onboard, but the CPU is the same.

    I think MSI have managed to release a good laptop fro the price. some aspects will suffer a little, but I doubt most people would even notice some of the poiints raised in the review

  9. Dude, 3D Mark score without comparison figure blows! What would a GTX460m score in this set up? around 1,500?

  10. I’ve always used this site http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

    Can’t be certain the results will match every other mag, but it looks fairly complete.

    We allowed to post links to other sites here, or will the thought police shoot us?

  11. This seams like a good deal at best buy with the i7 and 1920 x 1080 display and 555 gpx
