Bottom Line

The MSI GV62 8RD-200 has a stylish design and a great lightweight build, though its gaming performance will struggle to compete with GTX 1060 equipped laptops.

The MSI GV62 8RD-200 is mid-range gaming laptop that received positive reviews for an 8th generation Intel CPU, a lightweight build, good performance for the money, and a stylish design. Reviewers were critical of its short battery life, non-metal finish, and noisy fans. All in all the GV62 offers some good performance for the money, although there are some better performing laptops for the price.

MSI brings Coffee Lake to their entry-level GV62 line. While the new Intel CPU is a breath of fresh air, it is the only real change to the machine since last year. Buggy system behavior and a cheap plastic case keep the GV62 8RE from being little more than white noise.
