Great Value
Product arrived on time. The build is quite sleek, much thinner lighter than I expected. The computer handles heavy graphics loads well; definitely keep it plugged in to have battery last.It does run VERY hot, but thatâs expected ; all in all itâs a great product.

Good laptop after some tweaking
I got this laptop a few days ago and have tested it for nearly 48h.Some things to consider⢠Pretty good screen for a laptop. 144hz and good looking out of the box⢠Laptop frame feels solid but isnt overly heavy.⢠The 6gb RTX 3060 runs games really well. Division 2 averaged over 120 fps at max settings at 1080p. I tested war thunder, escape from tarkov and mordhau as well and both were extremely smooth (both hit 144hz reliably at ultra 1080p). No noticable input or screen lag in mordhau so fast shooters will benefit as well.⢠No noticeable micro stutters when switching from⢠The laptop top doesnât feel hot under pressure but I wouldnât play this on my lap.⢠I added a 1tb WD Blue NVMe stick to this laptop, its easy to do and there are videos of how to do it.⢠The GPU runs cool for a laptop (avg 78 under pressure) but the CPU doesnât. You can fix this by limiting the max power in power settings for the CPU or undervolting it. The cpu has initial spikes in temp but usually ends up in the mid 80s which is a little hot but expected.⢠Use dragon center to tune the performance. Donât run extreme performance without cooler boost.⢠Buy a cooling pad and watch temps for the CPU, the CPU is the only thing that holds this beast back because it tends to hit high temps (95c max from what I saw) if left at max settings.⢠It has 2x USB3.2and 2x USB-C so you might need to buy an usb dongle. It has a single jack for a headset so you might need to buy a splitter depending on your headset.⢠One HDMI only. No displayport at all which is something to consider. The HDMI is capable of 4k 60hz but at the end of the day its HDMI. Should be compatible with g sync or g sync supported monitors.

Good PC but not for gaming. Dies quickly with battery.
Heats up really fast without another fan outside of unit. Batter life isn’t great as it dies while gaming quickly. Graphics card is nice and has a quick refresh rate. Good midlevel PC for gaming, may work for regular computer.

Ok, why is this as cheap as it is?
Been using this for a few months now and I’m trying to figure out how this thing has a 4090 and a really good processor, yet is priced this cheap. Its superb for gaming.A few things to note:- This doesn’t come with a built in HDD (the system drive is a 512gb model), but it has an SATA space for a drive about 2tb is size or smaller. A 5tb internal won’t fit.- Removing the case can be tricky in this model, but not impossible. Namely remove all three sides that are NOT where the audio jacks are first, then remove that side. Otherwise you risk breaking the internal components. Might want to look up a video to be safe on this one.- RAM can be changed out, as usual for laptops.

My best purchase of 2021.
I’m a huge fan of MSI. This notebook is probably the best purchase I made late last year. The performance isn’t bad whatsoever. Playing games like Rogue Company, Destiny 2 Rainbow Six Siege at over 100 to 200 fps makes it a better option than that of most home console. But at 1080p at high or medium settings of course. Some cons that I have to address though. 1. The battery dies fast even while playing small, less demanding games and can clock in at less than 2 hours before needing a charge again. 2. Unplugging the notebook from the power cable can cut performance in half or more. 3. Not much USB connectors so you’re limited to what you can use unless you shell out for a usb hub. It’s worth IMO. 4. Storage is murder if you want to install some if the best AAA games since it in only has 512gb out of the box plus the 16gb Ram is enough for gaming but editing needs more though. The best solution is upgrading to more storage and adding more ram once you feel you really need it. Check YouTube for any good tutorial videos once ready for upgrade. Finally 5. Temperature and noise levels. This notebook can get exceedingly hot and loud during sessions, I use a Tecknet cooler to help but it just manages to keep it a better temperature than reliying on the notebooks loud fans. Using headphones is only way bypass this annoyance, cause the “jet engine” like sound will put you off in just about an hour. Even with all these cons, I can’t recommend this laptop enough. The performance is just too good and it’s probably the best way to enter pc gaming at a decent price due to the ongoing GPU drought thanks to the chip shortage.

Decent gaming computer at a great price / battery life a bit short
I’ve ran Cyberpunk 2077 with graphic at high setting and it kept up at 30~35 FPS, and I am currently playing it with medium graphic setting without any issue. So I’m pretty satisfied, considering this is a laptop, not a desktop. The design of the laptop is a bit crude and the battery life is pretty short, but considering the price of this laptop, everything just can be forgiven. It’s a choice between spending +$1000 for pretty looking longer lasting batteried gaming laptop VS spending $600 for a bit ugly, short batteried but still a decent gaming laptop, and I chose the latter option which I’m not regretting.

Que puedo decir, una computadora excelenteEso sà tienes que tener en cuenta que son computadoras que requieren muchas actualizaciones que en ocasiones no se hacen en automático, se tienen que hacer manualMSI te proporciona todos esos materiales en su portal, proporciona videos y asistenciaPero a veces el soporte técnico es tardado y aveces no contestan, y obvio es un producto que requiere de mantenimiento para asegurar la durabilidad.Pero si es una computadora que recomendarÃa

Hasta hoy ha tenido un excelente rendimiento. La he utilizado con programas de impresión 3D, diseño, juegos y producción musical (FL Studio) sin problema. Lo único que mejorarÃa serÃa la duración de la baterÃa y el que se calienta al correr procesos grandes (juegos sobre todo). Para esto hay una opción en msi center que baja la temperatura al terminar dichos procesos. Con esto y un buen ventilador pues se mitiga un poco ese “inconveniente”.

Excelente para trabajar y jugar

Compre esta laptop porque necesitaba mas poder y portabilidad de en mi trabajo (soy diseñador y escritor)La laptop cumple con lo que promete y fue un gran salto de una Macbook Pro 2015.Rendimiento: PROS- Al tener una grafica dedicada, puedes jugar practicamente cualquier juego desde fall guys hasta juegos pesados como GOW en graficos bajos medios.- En programas como PS, el rendimiento es exepcional y muy fluido.- El SSD M.2 es de poca capacidad pero veloz, lo cambiaré para tener mayor espacio. (Ojo solo tiene un slot para M.2)RENDIMIENTO: CONTRAS- Nunca habÃa comprado una laptop gamer, y mi sorpresa fue que cuando tienes poca baterÃa el rendimiento (más en juegos) se ve muy afectado, limitando la potencia al grado de no poder jugar fluidamente.- Los 8 GB de RAM son suficientes unica y exclusivamente si no la usaras mas que para tareas de ofimatica, para cualquier uso diferente si o si necesitaras 16 GB.CALIDAD – PROS- Los materiales son en su mayoria plastico, por lo que el peso es muy bajo.CALIDAD – CONTRAS- Tiende a ensuciarse DEMASIADO, si eres una persona que le sudan mucho las manos se notara aún más.Tips adicionales:En mi PC de escritorio cuento con un Ryzen 5 5600X y una RTX 3070Ti, el rendimiento de la de escritorio claramente es muy superior, pero aún y cuando comparto archivos para continuar el trabajo fuera de casa, la laptop se comporta bastante bien y a la altura.Desde el dÃa 1 opte por colocar 32 GB RAM, no hace falta decir que el rendimiento mejoro MUCHISIMO. (Tiene 2 modulos y soporta hasta 64 GB)El panel es IPS, por lo que si ya tienes una PC de escritorio con un panel VA o TN, notarás que los colores son mas frÃos pero a su vez más reales.

 La laptop es un monstruo delgado, tiene muy buen rendimiento, hasta ahora la he probado en 3 juegos, Doom Eternal (lo corre de maravilla en gráficos altos) Just Cause (unos 40 a 60 fps en altos, pero eso ya es cosa de la optimización) y Control (30 fps a gráficos medios), quizás los corra mucho mejor haciendo Overclock. El teclado no es iluminado, pero en lo personal la prefiero asÃ, le da un toque más discreto a la hora de trabajar con ella, aún asà durante la noche si se logran distinguir bien cada tecla (adjunté foto), ya que el brillo de la pantalla refleja en la letra blanca que tiene cada tecla. No es tan ruidosa comparándolas con otras, en el video parece que es ruidosa, pero en persona muy apenas la escuchas, vengo de una asus, esa parecÃa avión a punto de despegar… Sin duda alguna Vale la pena cada centavo.Obs: no tiene la tecla ñ, pero funciona, poniendo tu mapeado del teclado en español, asà podrás escribir sin ningún problema (siempre y cuando te sepas el teclado de memoria)Edito: después de actualizar los drivers de nvidia y Windows, el juego control lo corre a. 60fps en mediosGears of war lo corre a 60fps en ultra y starwars JFO lo corre a. 60fps en altos
