BEST SELLERS

In Laptop / Notebook

Bought during Black Friday. $2k for a 3080 Ti, i9 12th gen, 32 mb of ddr5, and a 165hz 1440p monitor is literally the best deal on the market for a gaming laptop. This is, with the exception of another 32gb of ddr5 being added, and instead a 240 hz 1440p monitor... the most powerful laptop commercially available. That said, 32 gb of ddr5 and 165hz of 1440p is still amazing. This laptop beats a lot of the other ones out there for $3k-4k range. The youtubers that benchmarked this laptop in comparison charts showed that whatever MSI did with this motherboard and the way they clock this machine put it pretty consistently above the competitor laptops from alienware, Acer, or asus or whatever, even if they had the same specs. And they were also well performing at cooling the machine too! The things that are super crucial in a gaming laptops are performance, power wattage generated, monitor, and ability to cool itself properly to extend lifetime. 1) Performance is as good as you can get as of this date. 12/2/2022. Until Nvidia, AMD, and Intel drop better laptop GPUs and CPUs, there is nothing better on the market. 2) Power wattage - You have to be able to power this tiny thing without attaching a 750w-900w giant power supply that a desktop gets. A lot of gaming laptops do around 150w- 210W. I haven't tested it, but MSI says this one does 190W. 3) Monitor is fantastic, way better than I expected. 240hz 1440p would be ideal, but I understand that would have made this thing an extra $1k likely. I plan to buy Samsungs 32 inch 240hz 1440p monitor in like a 6 months to a year or something to squeeze every last bit of juice out of this thing. 4) The cooling has always kept my GPU under 87c and my CPU under like 83C. Even when playing cyberpunk at ultra with raytracing, I wasn't expecting this to be this good. What some people in the comments are complaining about is like battery, and potentially size... which I think are crazy things to be complaining about, because this thing is purpose-built to be power hog, again you want as much power as possible? An extra hour of battery would probably weigh like an extra pound or two pounds. You should always have this thing connected to the power supply, as when you run off the battery, you diminish the lifespan of the battery within the laptop. Until intel, AMD, and Nvidia make ARM-based components like apple's silicon, these things will continue to be power hungry and warmer. Furthermore, I was expecting the laptop to feel way cheaper in the keyboard, trackpad, and monitor areas due to the price being so low and the internal components being so good. but the keyboard is perfectly solid, and the trackpad is solid, and the screen is great. The laptop worked right out of the box no problems and hasn't so much as stuttered at any game I have thrown at it yet. Again, this thing is meant for GAMING. It's not a workstation type laptop. I move and travel a lot for work, so it made sense to have a portable gaming station for some extra fun on the side, but you shouldn't ever plan to run this thing on battery other than for small 1-2 hr windows of time. That would be like driving an F1 car on your local commute and complaining about the gas mileage... Its literally built to put out power and performance. This goes for the noise levels as well. You should expect it to make some noise, my friend just made a desktop with the exact same components in it, but I think his is way louder. The fans are barely noticeable when you are doing browsing, video, or simple computing tasks, but when you kick on cyberpunk it gets a little noisier. I notice it, but I always have on a pair of over-the-ear gaming headphones on anyways and it never bothers me at all. Gaming noise completely covers the noise and you won't ever not hear a footstep or something like that. Again, its an F1 car, meant for performance, you want max cooling on this thing so it can last for as long as possible, you don't want your GPU or CPU to be running above 90C ever imo. Last note, size. I would say it is moderately sized, I was again expecting something bigger but it can fit into my 16 inch laptop bag.

This replaced my i7 RTX3070 that I built during COVID! Solid frames with options to overclock if needed.

My daughter likes her new laptop, she likes the touchscreen and fingerprint passcode and big screen and light.

not that loud as far as labtops go temps are decent under a load can run everything ive tried so far on high settings no issues

Everything so far.

32g of ram and decent processing, handles whatever I've thrown at it so far.

- Feature packed for the price. - Not flashy (some may or may not like this). - Upgradable storage. - High performance cooling solution. - Good video card for just about all games out currently. - Good "day to day" performance. - Durable construction with a sleek design. - Very nice feeling keyboard with a large touch pad. - Made by an excellent manufacture. - Internal structure of the laptop is well thought out and designed. - MUX switch is good for performance (switching from on-board to nVidia). - Capable for over-clocking. - Not too heavy considering all the power packed into it. - Battery life is quite good.
