MSI GT73VR 7RF Titan Pro 4K

Whenever someone asks me whether they should be investing in gaming laptops or a desktop, I tell them to invest in a desktop if they play only at home. But, there are many who want to game on the move, or do not want to undertake the hassle of building and maintaining a gaming PC. For these people gaming laptops are the solution. They offer portability (to some extent) and are usually plug-and-play, which is tougher for desktops. However, when I saw this giant MSI GT73VR 7RF Titan Pro for the first time, the concept of a laptop being portable was immediately out the window. There’s also the price tag. At Rs. 3,34,990, costs almost as much as a new car, so one must determine whether it’s worth the premium.

Looks and aesthetics

Gaming PCs or laptops are expected not only to perform well, but to have its extreme appearances. They should either look understated or should go all out with wild angular accents, fins, large heat vents, LED stips, you get the drift. The GT73 Titan Pro does the latter. It has all the right angles, paint schemes, design aesthetics, and screams gaming. You get red metal inlays on the lid, the dragon logo is backlit, the power button sits underneath an angular cut-out on the keyboard deck, the vents have red accents and the bottom has a red perforated grille. The MSI GT73VR 7RF Titan looks dramatic, which will appeal to the gamer.

Build quality and I/O : Like the design, the build quality leaves little room for complaints. The lid and the keyboard deck are metallic, laid over a plastic sub-frame. The machine feels quite sturdy and there is minimal flex in the body. There’s some flex in the display, but it is not a really deal-breaker. Since this is a gaming laptop, there are plenty of grilles and vents. The keyboard is well laid out and the keyboard deck offers plenty of space to rest your palms on. The base of the laptop is plastic and has more perforated grilles for air flow. 

The display hinge is one of the smoothest I have seen in awhile and opens to about 140 degrees, leaving enough room for third party cooling pads. While the base of the laptop is removable and some things, like the RAM and storage, can be user replaced, warranty will be voided if you do so.

Synology DiskStation DS716+II

Highlights The NAS comes with support for 4K transcoding It also includes hardware encryption support Synology DiskStation DS716+II is priced at Rs. 49,500 By now, most of our readers should be familiar with the name Synology. While the first Synology NAS unit we reviewed, the DiskStation DS215j, was a member of the J series targeted at home users, the unit we have today is part of the Plus series, with offerings for small and medium-sized businesses. This means the DS716+II comes at a premium compared to the DS215j, and this is justified not only in terms of beefed-up hardware, but the build quality as well. While the DS215j felt a little flimsy when opened, that's definitely not the case with DS716+II. The unit 1 looks really slick in black and has a metallic finish worthy of its positioning in the Synology lineup. Anyone familiar with the Synology naming scheme will recognise that the DS716+II comes with a support for a total of 7 drive bays, but...
