Whats the difference between the MSI GP62MVR and the GT62VR?

[JoelRU]

Their specs are almost identical. The MSI GT62 has 3GB more video memory and 128GB more SSD than the GP62MVR. But i really dont care about that. Is there something else to the GT62 that it worth paying 300$ more?

Here's the link to the specifications.

Hello,

if these are the ones you're talking about
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GP62MVR-Leopard-Pro-218-i7-6700HQ/dp/B01M0COXDI
http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt62vr-dominator-pro-087.html

aside fo the SSD difference which you already mentioned, the main ones i can see:

GPU: GP62MVR has 1060 while the GT62VR has 1070 (a superior GPU)

here are the performance benchmarks for both:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1070-Laptop.169549.0.html

RAM: GT62VR has faster memory (2400mMHz vs 2100MHz)

Thunderbolt 3: GT62VR has it while GP62MVR doesn't

cheers

I was actualy talking about the MSI GT Series GT62VR DOMINATOR-240 not the MSI GT62VR DOMINATOR PRO-087
SKU#13993. The dominator 240 has a gtx 1060. I gave a link og the comparison in the beggining of the thread, but for some reason its not showing so here it is, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=-1%7C34-154-471%5E34-154-471%2C34-154-491%5E34-154-491

okay, so in this case as you said there's not much of a difference. The points in DOMINATOR's favor are:
6GB 1060 vs 3 in Leopard
SSD with twice the cap (256 vs 128)
GSync supported display
Mem expandability (64 vs 32)
Bigger battery (8 vs 6 cell)

how about this one instead?
