MSI GT62VR Dominator Pro Gaming Laptop
Reviewer: Teh Wi-Liam
The Force is Strong with this One
Powered by the Pascal GPU from NVIDIA, the MSI GT62 is the closest thing to a proper gaming setup, minus the large footprint. Although nothing compared to the GeForce GTX 1080, the 1070 within the GT62 is a gem in its own way. Putting Overwatch, Dota 2 and even Skyrim to the test, it passed with flying colours with over 100 frames per second on all three games even on ultra settings.
VR Ready for Gaming
Thanks to NVIDIA and VIVE, the GT62 is certified to bring you a truly immersive virtual reality (VR) experience like no other. Sadly, I never got a chance to test it out as we don’t own our own VR headset as I suffer from motion sickness so VR is a no-go for me. However, MSI promises an exceptionally smooth VR gaming experience like no other and looking at their track record, I’d take their word for it.
In-built MSI Technology
What I enjoy most about MSI’s gaming laptops are the in-built features and technology they provide. From the exclusive MSI ‘SHIFT Technology where you can switch between different profiles to suit your needs to the Cooler Boost 4 design for better and more efficient airflow and even the ‘X Boost’ function, which supports faster storage access speed. Another great feature comes from Nahimic 2 and its Sound Tracker. You can now track your opponents movements anywhere in-game and stay one step ahead of them.
1 – Designed to Please
Inspired by matte black supercars, the GT62 comes with a brushed-metal lid alongside aesthetic line designs to give it a sleek and superior outlook.
2 – Powered by SteelSeries
Famous for its premium gaming peripherals, SteelSeries also has a hand in the usability of the GT62 as the keyboard was designed exclusively by SteelSeries themselves.
3 – Never Blame Your Tools Ever Again
As the old saying goes, MSI ensures you will neve have to blame your tools for poor performances as the GT62 comes with the Killer DoubleShot Pro so you can protect and prioritise your Internet connection while preventing any lag spikes.
