Improvements
Even though on the outside, the GT83VR 7RF is identical to the GT83VR 6RE predecessor we tested in 2016, MSI made improvements in several places. Besides the upgrade from the Skylake to a similarly fast Kaby Lake CPU, mainly the mechanical keyboard which does not merely light up in red but now also masters RGB, should be mentioned. Compared to the gaming competition which became thinner and lighter in the last few years (Alienware 13 R3, Gigabyte Aero 14, etc.), this design with the 6.9 cm (~2.72 in) thick and 5.5 kg (~12 lb) heavy 18-inch case does not seem particularly contemporary anymore.

Yes, due to their single-GPU solution with GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, GTX 1060, or GTX 1070, smaller devices will offer considerably less performance, but it is debatable whether it is still necessary to be such a giant in 2017. After all, most demands will be satisfied by a single GTX 1080. The corresponding 17-inch notebooks such as the Acer Predator 17 X, Asus G701VIK, MSI GT73VR, and Schenker XMG U727 models listed in the article don't quite scream "tower PC" as loudly. The latter even needs only one power supply, instead of two. In short, the GT83VR is only suited as a desktop replacement that is operated stationary.

Note: Apparently our test unit was a dud. First, the card reader died during the SD-card test and only worked sporadically after that. Then during idle mode, there was an extremely annoying coil whine, which might however affect the whole model series. Because of those problems, the final grade of the GT83VR is lowered by 1% and the grade for the volume segment by 5%.

By the way, we took the pictures from the predecessor. Due to their similarity, we also did not evaluate the case, features, input devices, and speakers. You can find that information in the review of the GT83VR 6RE.

Software
As is customary for MSI laptops, the software offerings are ample. Dragon Center, which unites various features, is once again the hub. Gamers will be particularly happy about the System Tuner tab whose Turbo mode allows overclocking the GPU (Standard OC: +100 MHz @core, +200 MHz @VRAM).

All of our tests were done with the "Power Options" Shift setting, which uses the Windows settings. SLI was active, but the optional fan button (which increases the rpm to benefit the temperatures) was off. The sRGB preset mode was used as display setting (True Color), which noticeably lowers the maximum brightness of the panel.

One of the greatest weaknesses of the GT83VR is the Full HD display in our opinion. With that, we do not primarily mean that 1920x1080 pixels is not that much on the 18.4-inch display (120 ppi), but the fact that the two GTX-1080 GPUs are not challenged enough at all with this resolution. For this amount of pixels, even a single GTX-1080 is more than enough, as long as there is only a 60-Hz panel under the frame, as is the case for the GT83VR.
