Perfect for all games!
I had this laptop for about 2 to 3 weeks now and love it. It is a bit heavy (as expected and the weight is displayed) but this laptop is worth the price and not as heavy as some of the alienwares and other gaming laptops I have looked at with heavy duty fans. The fans work great and never had an issue with it overheating. I still use my laptop fan just in case though but even when I forgot it, never had an issue. Playing Skyrim, ESO, and other games play very well on the highest settings. The keyboard is not a mechanical one but the keys still feel very nice. You can adjust how dim or bright you want the keys which I love. The touchpad is smooth and nice and I love that it has the two mouse buttons rather than it included in the touchpad surface. The screen is amazing as well and has pretty good anti glare as well. I would highly suggest this laptop if you want to invest in a laptop that will last you a good amount of years.

GE72VR Smokin' Machine
This is by far the best Laptop I have ever owned. I had an Asus ROG gaming computer before this but it wouldn't come close to the speed and ease of use this unit has. MSI has outdone themselves with this, not to mention how you can personalize it to your style of use and gaming! My wife is about to abandon her new computer and steal mine!

Solid machine, with software issues.
I did a lot of research before I purchased this computer. I had been leaning towards a 17" Alienware, but after feeling how heavy that monster was, I opted for something a little lighter. My current laptop is a monster 17" Gateway FX edition, 8 years old, and shows no sign of slowing down, but computers are fickle, and I wanted to have a great computer on standby, rather than rush out and buy one out of necessity. After deciding against the Alienware (I didn't realize most laptops these days don't come with CD/DVD-ROM drives, due to Steam and other services that allow downloads) I looked into MSi. The Apache Pro is a gorgeous machine, significantly lighter than the Alienware, and the specs can blow a Mac out of the water. The backlit keyboard is a must, the screen is perfectly crisp, and the actual construction is sturdy and solid. However. Everything went smoothly upon first boot, but I had a sinking feeling when the MSi dashboard came up to walk me through the registration and customization process. I was extremely disappointed to see misspellings ("Pervious" instead of "Previous"?) and the instructions read like a horrible translation from Chinese. Other messages in dialog boxes were butted up against borders. This may seem like a nitpick, and it very well might be, BUT, if I'm spending nearly 2k on a laptop, I want EVERYTHING to be perfect. What sort of confidence does it instill in your consumer, if attention to detail in your software is neglected? One review I read prior to purchase advised against buying this version, because MSi rushed production to cash in on the holiday buying season. Unfortunately, I think that reviewer is right. Another aspect that gave me an uneasy feeling was how feeble the disc drive felt. When popping it out, the tray sounds like it's going to shatter. Every single time. It wobbles with the touch of a finger, and honestly feels like an afterthought, in comparison to the rest of the body, which as I said, is sleek and sturdy. I wanted to like this laptop. I wanted to LOVE it, I really did. But in the end, I returned it, and the reps at my local Best Buy made it painless.
