MSI Titan GT77HX

Lets now review the MSI Titan GT77HX (series 13 VH / 13 VI).
The Gaming laptop has been realeased in the year 2023, which makes it 1 years old; it is offered in Core Black color and it is working with the operative system Win 10 Pro / Win 11 Home / Win 11 Pro. However, Win 10 versions should be freely upgradable to Win 11 The device has been evaluated by our users 5.00 ☆ stars out of 5 ☆; this score is very high, compared to the average rankings of 3.5 ☆.

• Dimensions and Weight 📐⚖️

When it comes to give an opinion about laptops' dimensions and weight, you should firstly take into account the size of the display which affects these physical characteristics (and also the price, as price differentiation is mainly made by display's dimension). MSI Titan GT77HX has a 17.3'' screen: it is 39.70 cm (~156.30 in) wide, 33.00 cm (~129.92 in) long and 2.30 cm (~9.06 in) thick; a volume (l*w*h) of 3013 cm³ or 3.01 dm³ (~183.88 in³) and a weight of 3.30 kg (~ 7.28 lbs).

This data lead to a division (density) of 1.10 kg/dm³ (~0.040 lbs/in³) which can be used as an indipendent variable to compare the producers effeciency in making lighter devices regardless of the screen size. Well built devices have, on average, a density of 1 kg/dm³ (~0.036 lbs/in³) which makes the Titan GT77HX performing similarly to the average, having a negative difference of ~10.00%.

• Battery 🔋

Several factors determine battery effectiveness (duration), like the extent of its nominal capacity but also the energy absorption done by the laptop components (mainly CPU, followed by GPU and Display). MSI Titan GT77HX has 4 battery cells and a voltage of 13 V; its declared capacity is 7684 mAh (99.9 Wh), which lead to a capacity per cell of 1921.00 mAh/cell that can be used as value for comparison. The expected duration range is 1.5 - 5.5 hours and the time spent for a 100% charge is 100 minutes; however, in addition to the SW and HW possibilities that influence these values, performance is also affected by ambient temperature, pressure etc.

Consider that Titan GT77HX is a Gaming Laptop and it is unlikely that you are going to use battery for gaming (high energy drain); battery capacity could be not priority in your case (keep in mind that Laptops powering by battery usually force a performance constraint bound to save energy!). Anyway, if we divide the offered (average) minutes on full charge by the ones required to restore it to the 100%, you can get an idea of the amount of minutes provided by each minute of charge; in this case this value is 3.30 minutes per charged one which can be used for comparison. Finally, the charger power consumption is 330 W which can be used (more or less) to compute the laptop power consumption when continuously kept connected to AC.

• Display 🖥️

The display size offered by MSI Titan GT77HX is 17.3'' in the format 16 : 9 and working with technology IPS Mini LED (Smaller LED chip to produce the same brightness as a large but granting more versatility). The refresh rate is 144 Hz (6.9ms) and being a Laptop intended to Play, it could be useful to have over-average rate, especially for intense games like FPS ones (at least 120 Hz or above). For indoor utilization, display should be at least 250 nits and have a contrast ratio of 1000:1; in this model you have 750 nits and 1070:1 contrast ratio (for outdoor usage we strongly suggest to have higher values). Display features are: AmLED ACR (Ambient Contrast Ratio), HDR 1000, 100% DCI-P3, Nvidia G-Sync,.
