== ***Background*** ==

The MSI GP72 2QE is part of the GP72 series that was released last March 7, 2016 by its manufacturer, MSI. This laptop was a cheaper alternative for other pricier gaming laptops that offered almost similar performance in image and video graphics. Nowadays, this laptop model has become older and outdated, so there are definitely better alternatives or replacements that are more up-to-date and efficient in handling heavy graphical computing activities.

This laptop is mainly used for high-quality video gaming with the convenience of portability. However, its optimal use can be extended to graphical animation and design rendering applications.

Due to its outdated status, the production of the laptop’s components and the laptop itself has been discontinued. This laptop model has subsequently been replaced with newer models within the latter GP series of MSI such as [link|https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GP73-Leopard-8RE/Specification|GP73|new_window=true] and [link|https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GP75-Leopard-9SX/Specification|GP75|new_window=true]. Replacement parts (components) can still be purchased either brand new or second-hand through online selling platforms such as [link|https://www.amazon.ca/?tag=hydcaabkg-20&hvadid=677743576483&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6969382528054383620&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9191581&hvtargid=kwd-360364908397&ref=pd_sl_2g3jlg2slz_e&hydadcr=20061_13508848&gad_source=1|Amazon|new_window=true] and [link|https://www.ebay.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA5Ka9BhB5EiwA1ZVtvFQeb3vMRgFl5KOQpj-95q4IXZTTR3g0mSJYQI9XzpK03NIR5smbdRoC-ykQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds|eBay|new_window=true].
