Other than that the laptop’s performance is top notch as it rocks a whooping Nvidia Geforce GTX 10 series GPU (GTX 1060 6GB).

Impressions

If you want to compare MSI GE62 6VR Apache Pro with its competitor’s laptop like Dell 7577 and Acer Predator Helios 300, the specification is little different among the mentioned laptops. Starting off with their hardware choices, both Dell and Acer Predator run on 7th GEN Intel processor whereas the Apache pro sports a 6th Generation Intel processor. Memory wise the specification is similar to all three gaming laptops. However, if we look into the Graphics card the Dell 7577 rocks a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 Max-Q which is slightly less powerful than Acer and MSI Apache Pro which rocks the full Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 but the trade-off does a very nice reduction in power usage.

In terms of display, all three laptops accommodate 15.6″ Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution but Dell 7577 also comes with a UHD 4K display (3840 x 2160) resolution. Also, the MSI apache and Dell 7577 both have a USB 3.1 Type-C that supports Thunderbolt 3 which is lacking in the Acer Predator Helios 300.

Well, the laptop falls on the budget category but considering if you buy the laptop in Nepal most people still struggle with the price. The price range of over 1 lakh will still be a tough decision to most of the people. But if you are really thinking of buying a gaming laptop in Nepal this laptop should be on your list.

Apart from a below-average trackpad which you can replace it with a gaming mouse (by replacing I meant opting for external mouse) and an average build which should not be a big deal, this laptop stands out to be the best in terms of performance and definitely a go-for-the price.
