  • What an amazing machine to replace my desktop unit
Style: GTX 1050 | 16GB 256GB SSD Color: Aluminum Silver
The MSI P65 8DR is fast, quiet, and nice to the touch. The screen image quality is a delight and I have always been picky about screen resolution, contrast and color. Setting up the laptop was straight forward: I plugged it in (power and internet) then pressed the power switch. In a few seconds, I heard a greeting, and I followed the verbal/written instructions to set up the system. After the basic setup, I pressed WIN+ I, which opens the Windows settings, then clicked on "Update and Security" and began updating my system, which did it all by itself. Warning: my MSI P65 came with a Norton Security 30-day trial. They offered me to begin my trial subscription but refused it. So, in the settings, I typed the word Uninstall and selected "Apps & Features" from the results. From there I uninstalled Norton Security and Norton Studio. That only took a few seconds. Once Norton was out of the way, I restarted the system and Windows Security automatically took control of my security needs. As a computer programmer, instructor, and screen caster, the purpose of this laptop is to eventually replace my 12-year old Desktop. I will update my review when I begin working with this system. Right now, I'm waiting for a 64gb UBS flash drive to create a recovery drive in case of a catastrophic event. The system recommends a dedicated flash drive of at least 18gb capacity. Update: Periodically you will see a reminder to back up your system. If you click on it, it will take you to a utility program called MSI BurnRecovery. I used that app to create a recovery USB file of my initial setup. The process was straight forward, and it took me about 40 minutes. Hard drive space: The Solid-State Drive (SSD) consists of two partitions: C and D. So far, after Windows 10 Pro update, my C drive has 85.7GB free, and the D drive offers 74.7GB free, I wish I had more space, but I already knew about it before ordering this laptop. The thing is that, with today's cloud services like Amazon, and Office 365, I don't see a problem with such low capacity (and I can always install an additional SSD drive later), but if you are planning to save all your data on this computer, you will eventually run out of space. Since I don't play games, I will remove all the clutter from mine to give me room for my own software and current data. I'll be using this system for professional work. By default, everything is saved in the C drive, but that can be changed. I have instructed Windows to save applications on C, and data on D. This will make it easy for me to maintain my data. To do that, go to settings (WIN + i), and search for "Change where new content is saved". Then change the settings at will. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase so far (no buyer's remorse). Month later: I have finally replaced my old desktop. The MSI P65 8DR continues to amaze me. I love the screen resolution and now watch all my Netflix and Amazon movies with this laptop. I’m impressed with how long the battery lasts. Even in those long nights watching three to four episodes the battery does not go below 50%. As to the screen size for movie watching, I was afraid of downsizing from a 22” monitor to a 15.6” unit, but this screen is so pleasant to the eye that I do not think about the real estate loss, I’m really happy about it, especially when I no longer need to stay in one place throughout the whole movie. Portability has its advantages. No fan noise: The MSI P65 8DR is practically silent. Even in those rare moments when the fan kicks in, I would have to place my ear on the machine to hear it. However, it does get a bit warmer after a while when watching movies. If you have the computer on your lap you may want to place a pillow between the laptop and your body for comfort. Still, that is not a deal breaker as I continue to enjoy this purchase and haven't found any regrets. May 2020 Fan noise (resolved) Suddenly the fan of my MSI P65 8DR began clicking like if dust was in its way. I'm still under warranty so I could not open the unit to inspect what was going on. After investigation, it turned out that I had fallen asleep listening to music on battery mode and on the next morning the laptop was dead. That must have reset the fan settings somewhat and the fan was now running on a basic level, which seems to be a constant run. Here's how I fixed it: First, I opened "Dragon Center" and turned on "Cooler boost" for a second (then take it back to its original setting). Be careful since a puff of dust will be expelled from the computer (that will diminish some of the noise). Then, I set the fan speed to "advanced" and the noise ended because the fans are better regulated, working only when necessary and at a better speed. Weeks later the computer remains quiet. Wrap up: It has been almost a year since I purchased this unit and I use it for work and pleasure about 12 hours a day. I'm still very happy about my choice of computer with no regrets at all. ... show more

  • Great laptop, but upgrade it when you can.
Style: GTX 1050 | 16GB 256GB SSD Color: Aluminum Silver
Don’t get me wrong, this laptop is great for light current gen gaming AND content creation as well. But you can do more to bring out it’s full potential if you’ve had it for a while already. NOTEWORTHY THINGS: The 128gb nvme that comes with the gtx 1050ti model IS partitioned. This means that with the software MSI provides, you won’t get much of any storage space at all. It’s better to just upgrade this from the get-go if you plan on storing anything. This shouldn’t be a problem since the 8rd has two nvme bays. The 16gb of RAM you get is only single channel. This isn’t really a problem, but it can be better with dual channel. The i7 8750H in this thing is good for last gen, don’t get me wrong, but there’s only so much heat you can output in such a thin case without throttling the poor thing. Doesn’t mean it affects the performance very much. You can still do stuff like rendering and games like Far Cry 5 on it without too much impact. As for the gtx 1050ti, it’s just that: a decent last gen chip still good for current gen gaming. To put it into perspective: this specific machine meets recommended for 87% of the games listed on CYRI. Again, not bad for a last gen chipset. I haven’t tested battery life myself, but other reviewers say it well enough. The advertised life is more for when it’s being used lightly instead of under load. Maybe MSI should advertise the life under load with the max life too. All in all, this thing is decent for what you pay for. It’s still a good gaming rig with the right upgrades too. So keep this in mind if you decide to buy one. That’s about all I have to say. Thanks for reading. ... show more

  • Great laptop for college and light gaming
Style: GTX 1050 | 16GB 256GB SSD Color: Aluminum Silver
I use this laptop primarily when I'm on campus since I am a commuter. THe battery life is much better than my Surface Book 1 with a dGPU. I can get 4.5 to 5 hours of usage (non gaming) when compared to the 3 to 3.5 hours of my Surface Book 1. My Surface Book would also thermal throttle in the most basic of tasks at times and have the fans blasting like a jet engine. In contrast, the P65 8RD is quieter and does not thermal throttle when doing basic tasks or having multiple tabs open. With a 8750H and 1050ti, you'll be able to run esport titles such as CSGO and League of Legends without issues. If you're going to play more demanding games, get the 1060 model or look at newer P65 models with the Turing architecture gpus. The build quality is amazing and feels solid. The speakers are great IF you're using it on top of a table. If using it on your lap, it will sound like garbage. ... show more

  • Not a big fan
Style: GTX 1050 | 16GB 256GB SSD Color: Aluminum Silver
This laptop seems to have it all - good specs, lightweight design, high resolution screen - but the fans have always been a problem for me. Even when I first bought this laptop, the fans got quite loud and the laptop got pretty hot. A year later, I'm working from home every day, like most people, and the fans have drastically worsened. It's like someone is digging into your laptop with a mini jackhammer, even after cleaning. This shouldn't be happening after a little over one year. Not worth the money. ... show more

  • Decent Purchase
I purchased the laptop with the 1060 6G. I found it to fit my needs perfectly. I am a student getting ready to go to college, and I needed a laptop that I could use for gaming as well as day to day tasks. The laptop is definitely gaming ready, and I am able to hit 60 fps on virtually anything. The only complaint I have is the battery life. It has an 8 hour advertised battery, but I am finding that it only gets about 4. ... show more

  • Bang for the buck! But there is a catch
It is light weight, has powerful hardware specs and a reasonable battery life. After using it for about 2 months, it's fan started making weird rattling noises. Turns out it was a manufacturing defect. The good part is that their customer support is really good. My laptop's fan got replaced free of cost since it was still in warranty and I received it back from them within 12 days. ... show more
