    • Great laptop for the price
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
Review Image by Angela Angela
This laptop arrived brand new in its manufacturer’s box with no damage to either the packaging or the device itself. It has a high-quality matte finish that feels smooth to the touch and doesn’t easily attract fingerprints or dirt. The size is great. While it lacks a numpad, which I use pretty religiously, I’m fine with that tradeoff given the overall functionality and power. Battery life is on the shorter side, though that’s expected for a gaming laptop. On energy-saving mode, mine lasts about two hours. I’d prefer a bit more, but since I mainly use it at home or occasionally take it when visiting others, I don’t mind keeping it plugged in. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who needs reliable battery life on the go. The screen is excellent for its class: bright, crisp, and true to color. HD videos and games look great with no dullness or wash-out. The RTX 4050 GPU delivers sharp rendering and vivid contrast, and the display complements it perfectly. Some laptop screens can ruin a good GPU’s output and this one definitely doesn’t. Performance has been consistently smooth. The system is highly responsive with no noticeable latency during installations, updates, or while running demanding programs. I tested Monster Hunter Wilds today, and it ran beautifully with medium settings and fluid performance, though the laptop did get quite hot under load. It could potentially run it at higher settings, too, considering I noticed no performance loss. I’d recommend using a cooling pad for extended gaming sessions. I’ve also run large, multilayered Photoshop projects with no slowdown at all. It handled both creative and gaming workloads effortlessly. Overall, this laptop offers excellent performance for the price, a gorgeous display, and strong build quality. Just be ready to keep it plugged in and cooled if you’re pushing it hard. ... show more

    • Great laptop

I was initially disappointed with how cheap the laptop felt when handling it, but it's performance is amazing. It has no trouble playing any of my games.

    • Good budget gaming laptop
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
I got this laptop for my son. He had been using an older surface pro and was irritated because it only had 8gb of ram. I browsed for several hours before I settled on this laptop. He has only had it a couple of days, but so far he absolutely loves it. It has a decent sized screen. The 16gb of ram has treated him well as he has been able to play minecraft with loads of mods (which was most of the reason he wanted a new laptop in the first place.). The only complaints he has so far is the battery life. (He got around two hours of time unplugged before it died on him. That is pretty short for a brand new product, given that my Macbook can go multiple hours on a single charge.). The other complain is the fan. He loves the fact that you can control the fan speed via keyboard shortcuts, but the fan is extremely loud. It legitimately sounds like a desk fan blowing. While I'm sure this probably keeps it nice and cool, this is something to be aware of. All things considered, for the price I bought it at, it seems to be a very good and capable machine. Other people in my family have used MSI products and not had issues with them. ... show more

    • Great for the price and a little bonus surprise!
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H Style: 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD
Bought this for my kid to have something capable of playing his games. Cost half the price of my gaming laptop and I have been very impressed. Not a huge fan of the MSI Center, and found that we needed to use Nvidia control panel to tell windows to "prefer the nvidia for 3d apps"...but now he can play all his games in high/ultra settings. One thing we found out later, was that the Intel version of this laptop has a spare slot/ compartment inside for a normal SSD drive! So you can save some money and get the 512 NVME drive, and pick up a 1Tb normal SSD drive and be golden ... show more

3 días después de haberlo comprado, sufrió una especie de sobre carga, se supone que este tipo de maquinas soportan varios devices conectado a la vez pero no fue así, espero que el reembolso no tarde tanto

Absolutely met my expectations. All I wanted to do was play L4D2 and Roblox and it runs both of those perfectly/smoothly. It’s fast enough for its price, trust me! IT ALSO DOESNT OVERHEAT, EVEN WHEN I LEAVE THE CHARGER IN!

Extremely good laptop, I highly recommend. The battery life isn't the best-of-the-best, so I'd recommend using it on the charger.
