MSI WT72 6QI-654US Overview

The 17.3" WT72 Mobile Workstation from MSI delivers increased efficiency to the mobile platform by way of workflow performance, multiple application data processing, and 4K video transcoding. The system is powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ Quad-Core processor which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. The processor also features a burst speed of up to 3.5 GHz and the built-in 16GB of 2133 MHz DDR4 ECC RAM allows the computer to quickly access frequently-used files and programs.

The 17.3" IPS Wide View Angle Anti-Glare display has a native Full HD 1920 x 1080 screen resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and is built on True Color technology. The system's display is powered by a dedicated NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics card and 2GB of GDDR5 RAM, and you can output video to an external display using its HDMI 1.4 or Mini DisplayPort outputs. Additionally, the system's Thunderbolt 3 port also supports the DisplayPort 1.2 output protocol. The WT72 will support up to three simultaneous external displays.

For long term storage of your files, the WT72 has a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD and a 1TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive. While the 128GB SSD does not have the larger capacity of the 1TB hard drive, it contains no moving parts and is able to operate with faster data transfer speeds. Having no moving parts also helps the SSD be better-protected against damage from drops and bumps. Additionally, the drive will receive less wear and tear, as there are no read or write heads for the drive media to come into contact with.

If you want to add external storage drives, external optical drives, media card readers, or other external peripherals, the WT72 features six USB 3.0 Type-A ports and one USB 3.1 Type-C port. The system also has a 3-in-1 SD card reader that supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, a 1080p webcam, dual integrated mics, and dual integrated 3W speakers with a subwoofer, both powered by Nahimic audio.

So you can get started right out of the box, a 230W AC adapter and a power cord are included. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro (64-bit). Protection is provided by a limited 2-year warranty, which also includes a limited 1-year global warranty.
