Awesome laptop for gamers
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H
Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
For gamers this laptop is awesome. Not a fan of the i5 processor but it's been getting the job done. So far it's handled all my games with no problem. I pushed Fortnite to the max with epic graphic settings and it ran with no problem. The fan can get loud when turning it to the max but you can easily turn it off or on. Very pleased with my purchase

Great laptop for the price Great laptop for the price
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H
Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
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.

Runs all games I play at 16gb memory, easy to upgrade memory
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H
Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
Runs all games I play (ARPG's like D4, PoE, D2R, Last Epoch, and loads of single player games like Guardians of the Galaxy and other RPG's). This is great laptop. Easy to upgrade to 32gb memory and more if you want to do some other things like video editing. Feels like it operates a bit warm so make sure you have empty space and don't block the fan.

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.

Not happy
Capacity: Intel i5-13420H
Style: 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD
Ordered this for my son. He set it up and about half hour later the screen blacked out. A brand new laptop just blacked out on us. We couldn’t do much to it so returned it. The seller charged me a restocking fee on it as he said the computer was locked. Yes it was as we had set it up before it blacked out. The seller reached out for the passwords but had already charged the restocking fee. I sent the passwords to them right away but I had to go thru Amazon A to Z claim to get the restocking fee refunded which took a few calls.
