MSI GS63 VR 7RF design and specifications
The MSI GS63 VR 7RF is impressive, being a gaming laptop the size / dimensions are just too unbelievable. Do note that gaming laptops are different from other laptops that might be using the same 7th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, but what makes the gaming laptops different is the cooling technology that it incorporates. The MSI GS63 VR 7RF is also using liquid cooling technology they call it cooler boost that helps keep the GPU / CPU temperature under control.
The cooling technology actually increases the size / weight of the laptop, surprisingly MSI managed to keep both under limited space.

MSI GS63 VR 7RF performance
The performance was smooth, no lags and heat-up was under control. The 3D Mark 11 benchmark score that I got was 12249. I played FarCry 4 and it did very well. I played the game for couple of hours and the CPU temperature was hovering around 60 degrees.
Verdict
Gaming laptops are not that cheap, if you are a hardcore gaming user you will understand, for normal gaming users this is not the laptop you should be looking for. MSI GS63 VR 7RF is a very good buy for those who are looking for a powerful gaming device that is light weight and does come with all the feature one would want. This laptop however comes with GTX 1060 GPU, there are better and more powerful GPU’s available.
