The MSI GP72X Leopard-667 17.3-inch gaming laptop has received positive reviews for its customizable RGB keyboard lighting, its ease in handling demanding tasks and its overall responsiveness thanks to the seventh generation Intel Core i7-7700HQ and 16GB of RAM, along with the mid-tier NVIDIA GTX 1050 4G GDDR5. It comes with ample 1TB of storage thanks to the 7200RPM HDD, and MSI have included a 128GB SSD in this particular model. Furthermore, most liked its price and the fact that it is portable. However, while most thought its 120Hz 1080p display is beautiful, they did point out that it is a TN display, meaning the viewing angles are average at best. Some noted that the speakers are not the best and the battery life is poor. Lastly, others found that the fans can get quite loud. All-in-all, the MSI GP72X Leopard-667 has an up to date CPU and GPU and offers decent overall gaming abilities, but its battery life is poor and the TN display panel can make colors looked washed out depending on the viewing angles.
