It seems in the pursuit to make a great machine for a low price, compromises are continuing to be made. A high spec machine with a low price is just hard to find.
While PC pricing is fairly transparent its not always obvious where a notebook manufacturer can cut costs, especially when looking at the specs you see the same, Intel I7 processor, SSD drives, GTX graphics cards, the devil is in the detail.
The easiest way is to throw as many high end sounding parts into one machine and then hit it with a lot of air and hope to cool it down.
According to a recent review by PCGamer the Flagship MSI GT72 Dominator Pro is yet again plagued by noisy fans.
“The feature took our GTX 980M from 63 °C to 61 °C under the Sport profile in Metro Last Light. It’s really, really loud, though. The GT72 doesn’t get so hot that it would be uncomfortable resting in your lap, but it’s too bulky for comfortable lap use, anyway. The plastic feet that elevate the back of the laptop dig into your legs, so we prefer to keep the system on a desk.”
“A powerful gaming notebook built for a desk, not the road, with a loud fan under load and 8.6 pound heft.”
