MSI GT72 Dominator Pro G Review - G-Sync and Broadwell

Lisa Gade reviews the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro G-1666, the new version of MSI’s 17.3” desktop replacement - gaming laptop. The Pro G model runs on the Intel Broadwell 5th generation quad core i7-5700HQ 2.7 GHz CPU with Turbo Boost to 3.5 GHz. The “G” stands for NVIDIA G-Sync technology that syncs the graphics card and display refresh rates to reduce visual tearing. It has a 17.3” matte IPS 1920 x 1080 display with a 75Hz refresh rate.

The Dominator Pro G is available with the NVIDIA GTX 980M 4 GB DDR5 (our $2,099 model) or the GTX 970M 3 GB DDR5 in the $1,499 model (MXM cards). It has 16 gigs of RAM (32 max), M.2 SSDs (available in RAID0) and a 1 TB, 7200 RPM HDD. The laptop has a SteelSeries full color backlit keyboard, Killer WiFi 802.11ac and Ethernet, stereo Dyaudio 3 watt speakers and subwoofer, and a Blu-ray drive. The 8.3 lb. laptop has an aluminum lid and an easily removable plastic bottom panel for upgrades. It competes with the Asus ROG G751 and Alienware 17. If you're in the market for a full size gaming laptop that runs cool and quiet and doesn't throttle, this is worth a look.
