Question 1

is there any slot for internal hard disk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I installed an SSD shortly after receiving this product. The installation was easy and straight forward. Opening the bottom however was challenging. You must be patient so you do not damage the case.

Question 2

I really wanted the backpack and headset deal, but it looks like they are out of stock for both. Modern warfare doesn't even cover the same price as those two freebies! Can anyone confirm if the headset deal will be back or not? I made a mistake by waiting till Friday it seems!

Accepted Answer

I have noticed that a few weeks before they had just backpack as a gift and then it switched to the game and then it was back to backpack and a headset and now the game again. This may be speculation at this point but I think there is a decent chance it will be back but not foo long if I were to guess. Hope this helps.

Question 3

What is the difference between this GL65 9SEK-065 and the GL 9SEK-024?

Accepted Answer

There are a few of them but they are not super significant in nature (all things considered).
Screen refresh rate on 65 is 144 and 120 on 24.
The keyboard is single backlight on 24 versus per-key on 65.
Speakers are 3W on 24 and 2W on 65.
The version of USB and a Type - C Port is 3.2 on 24 and 3.1 on 65.
Looks like 24 has MDP port and 65 does not have it listed.
Last one is the weight, 7.53 lbs on 24 versus 5.07 lbs on 65.

Hope this helps.

Question 4

battery life?

Accepted Answer

I have owned this computer for about a month, its the longest lasting battery in a laptop i have ever had.  I go out on presentations and they last an hour and a half , so I would always bring my charger.  This one went down 5%, could not believe it.  So yes Great battery life.

Question 5

Does it have a slot for adding a 2.5' HDD?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that seems to be the case. This article on Notebook Check (MSI GL65 9SEK Laptop Review: Much More Portable than the GL63) provides an in-depth look into all aspects of this laptop. Look for the section titled Storage.

Question 6

what is the configuration of the SSD in this laptop and is it upgradeable to 1 or 2 TB? Can I order it with Win10 Pro 64 bit as I need domain access?

Accepted Answer

This one has 512 GB SSD it comes with and has an empty slot for another one. I didn't see anything that says you can not upgrade to a 1 or 2TB ones if you wanted to. There was no option for Win10 Pro 64 and as a customer service rep told me they are aimed at entertainment and so do not come with the pro version.

Question 7

In the MSI site says the screen is 120Hz but the item description, listed here says 144Hz. Can someone clarify that for me?

Accepted Answer

Looking at their website for the 2 GL models they have, this one specifically, has 144Hz refresh rate. The other one, however, has 120.

Question 8

Does this have G Sync capability? If so, is it only when using an external monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pascal and Turing cards do have G-Sync support at this point but you do need a G-Sync compatible monitor to utilize it.

Question 9

Can someone please help!
I am looking a laptop upgrade that can handle video editing from adobe premiere pro
Will this model handle drone footage from my mavic pro preferably in 4k?
Thank you

Accepted Answer

I shoot 4k from a drone and yes it handles editing well.
