Cons

The GP76's performance is consistently strong in various games and tools.

The MSI GP76 is a budget-friendly gaming laptop that offers strong gaming performance, a good screen, and an option to disable optimus for better gaming performance. The design is reminiscent of the GE76, with a decent build quality, though it is a bit heavier at 2.8 kilos. The laptop features a 17.3-inch 1080p screen with good color gamut and brightness. The MSI Dragon Center allows for customizing performance settings, including overclocking. However, the laptop lacks a webcam with Windows Hello support and the keyboard has per-key RGB backlighting, but may feel a bit dim compared to older MSI laptops. The GP76 offers good connectivity options, but is missing an SD slot present in the more expensive GE model. The laptop's speakers are decent, but not outstanding, and the battery life is notably lower than other laptops tested. In terms of thermals, the laptop allows for performance customization, with different modes affecting the CPU and GPU clock speeds. When testing in various games and tools, the GP76 showed consistently strong performance. The pricing of the GP76 is lower than the GE76, making it a compelling budget-friendly option.

The GP76 is a budget-friendly option with good screen and gaming performance.
