5.0 out of 5 stars Super dope laptop imho!
By Millie S.
Pros:Decent battery lifeEasy to upgrade. Just unscrew the bottom screws pop open the bottom lid (but be careful not to break the side ports and internal components obviously) and wala! You have access to the ssd ram and a spot for a 2.5” ssd or hdd. M.2 ssd and ram are fully upgradable. Ram goes up to 64gb max so you can do a lot with thatIt has usb 3.1 and usb cIt’s fairly low power and lightweight tooThe onboard gpu isn’t too bad but the RTX 4050 is pretty good for what I use too. Both gpus perform well in Daz Studio Marvelous Designer and BlenderI’m not a gamer but I do play GameCube Wii Gameboy and DS emulators and occasionally simcity 5 and a TON of simcity 4. On simcity 5 the most graphics intensive game i play I can crank the settings up to maximum using the RTX and it plays very smoothly and looks great as well.WiFi is wifi 6 so not too bad either but I use Ethernet so that doesn’t matter to me really all that muchCPU is a 10 core 12th gen i7 with upper 4.ghz range boost clock so cpu rendering in blender and Daz is fairly painless. It’s not gpu rendering but still very good—definitely good enough for me and I make big complex scenes with lots of lights characters VDBs special effects and other intricate stuff also I do short animation clips as well so let that be your gauge.Cons: more like nitpicking—because ya know we ALL have nitpicks about everythingIt’s not 2.5gb EthernetIt has red led keyboard not RGBIt too lightweight for me but that’s probably because all the previous laptops I owned were giant bricks of gaming laptops from the mid 2000s back when everyone used first generation i7s (or back then the ONLY generation i7s) you should have seen the dinosaur dell gaming laptop I had before this. Oomph! My back (and wallet) hurts just thinking about that old laptop I had before I bought this one. This is by far a massive upgrade and improvement!It’s ddr4 not ddr5 which is really not the worst thing for me as my gpu rendering workstation desktop pc runs a Maxwell gpus and 2666ghz ddr4 ram and it’s pretty good at gpu rendering.The RTX dedicated gpu is only 6gb vram but really for me I use it primarily for CPU rendering anyway and barely ever use the RTX on it except for computations in my rendering software and every once in a while my emulators and simcity 5 for which the RTX 6gb is plenty of VRAM for meThis laptop is definitely worth getting if you’re looking for a really good entry level gaming enulator gaming or CPU based 3d graphics modeling and rendering laptop

5.0 out of 5 stars Great laptop for the price!
By William
Waiting on some things to download but so far the benchmarking is showing it is a worthwhile upgrade over my old laptop.Laptop was very easy to open up (careful of the pins in the back they are very easy to snap upon inspection)Came with hardware and a free spot to install a 2.5" SATA SSD so I've got a lot more storage now. 2 ram slots are in use so 8GB each from factory. I am a little curious how well the cooling will work with just the one fan, but the copper tubing is much more than my 2 fan laptop. Temperatures stay stable around 70C under full load gaming.So far main issues is power consumption. Gaming at 1080p ultra definitely results in a power drain that the 120w charger cannot keep up with. Edit: After some research this is actually a feature of the MSI laptops to increase the longevity of battery capacity over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Runs my Sims perfectly!

This computer is amazing. Definitely worth it. This is the first real gaming laptop I’ve had and it makes a huge difference. Zero lag on my sims and I have almost all the add ons. I played the sims for like 3 hours straight and it barely got warm. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gaming laptop

Excellent laptop. Runs much quieter and cooler then my Helios. Very fast. Works well for what I use it for mainly World of Warcraft but handles other games quite well. Very pleased with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's good, but it could be better

I've been using this computer for a while now, it works very well, but there are times when it stutters, the FPS drops to 0, which usually takes less than 1 second, but it's still very annoying. The screen's 165Hz refresh rate is spectacular, but I did an online test and I'm almost certain it has ghosting, which is also quite annoying. Also it's a bit slow when performing various tasks, such as opening the browser or simply changing categories on Steam.I'm going to add more RAM since the 8GB it has doesn't seem enough to me; I even think that might be the root of the problem I mentioned. So, I'll try to upgrade to 32GB of RAM.But despite all of the above, it's still a very good computer. I like that it comes with the Nitro Sense application and also with Intel's graphics software, since it allows for some customization. The camera looks good and works smoothly in good lighting, but the computer doesn't have anything to cover the camera.You have 3 fan options: silent, balanced, and performance. Expect a lot of noise from the fan in performance mode. Also, another bad thing is that when I connected my headphones with a built-in microphone, the computer only recognized it as audio output, not as both audio input and output, so I had a lot of problems with that. I even had to restart my PC in safe mode to reset everything because I had no sound anymore, so be careful with that, If you experience the same issue, simply open the Realtek Audio Console application, then go to advanced device settings and program it as an input and output.So I think it's a very good computer. You have to do a couple of things beforehand to be ready to use it for gaming or anything like that, but I don't think I'll be changing it for a long time. Just add more RAM and you'll probably be good to go. I'll update this review when I add more RAM to let you know if there are any changes to the stuttering.So my final thoughts on this laptop are that I wish it were more of a turn-on, ready-to-use thing, but I guess you can't expect that at this price. Despite that, I give it 5 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Best deal on a gaming laptop

Performance: This thing eases through all the games you practically throw at it UNLESS you want highest quality on the LATEST AAA game. You also get frame generation with the nice gpu inside there(4050).Quality, Speed, Brightness: The quality of a laptop at this price point is not something you find everyday, I also love the glossy look on the front panel. The brightness is really really high so no issues here. The speed , well you really need to upgrade this thing to 16gb for 100% usage. It’s absolutely worth it to do it yourself, you will feel incredible for the amount of money you save. Just buy another DDR5 8gb 5200MHZ and install it and you are set for everything really.Issues: Not so much of big issues, just new computer stuff like Driver issues where a usb might bug or something similar. Just update the laptop as soon as you get it.Battery: battery on a gaming laptop has never been good so always carry your charger.All in all, good investment for your gaming hobbies. Just install your ram and carry your charger when moving.
