What customers say about "Processor"
MSI GP63 Leopard 8RE-065UK Gaming Laptop
- I use this laptop daily, it's quick, has handled everything I've thrown at it so far from gaming, rendering and even running virtual machines.
- The screen is crystal clear and battery life is great. Also processor is amazing.
- Very powerful machine/excellent specs.
- Modern i7 processor, capable RAM capacity and dedicated graphics means that this can handle most current gen games on high graphic settings without suffering on frame rate.
- The i7-8750h is running frequency is quite low at 2.2Ghz, this means some games may crash when playing (during heavy gaming).

- This laptop has, at the time of this writing, the latest Intel Core i7 processor.
- Fast processors, great graphics, can play most games.
