Pros:
Amazing Battery life. Got a total of 5-7 hours running in eco mode. Which is great when i need to be productive and mobile. All my other gaming laptops ( ASUS) could last on battery for maybe an hour if that it was like it could not throttle itself. after a while those batteries lost their overall health and they basically became desktops that always had to be plugged in.
Sleek clean looking design means you get a gaming laptop without a disco ball which is nice when you use this laptop for work. Other laptops look like some tweens mega gaming pc. cant stand that extra flash
Powerful- this thing packs a punch when playing a game or under load. It just seems to keep chugging along with power to spare.
Screen is nice and the extra refresh rate is great for when the pc can handle the game at a higher FPS( though i have not had many that it can) still decent fps though
great out of the box experience. Took it out and in moments i was working on installing my applications and games
I love the screen size. i do a lot of programming and being able to have more work space is always a plus. That goes for gaming too its just the perfect size for on the go gaming
Great bluetooth- i have had a few laptops with a shoddy Bluetooth and it always made my controller lag , mouse skips (Microsoft Sculpt mouse) and audio skipping from earbuds.
So far i have played a lot of snowrunner and State of Decay 2 with a controller and experienced no issues at all!
MSI had a great first time run program for the laptop final setup. It makes it easy for the system to set its power settings and other little things a snap. Such as Power usage on battery and power usage while plugged in to AC. i liked that it gave me the option for what kind of battery performance i would like. i never thought about a partial charge to improve the overall lifespan of the battery. VERY CLEVER and even at 75 % max charge i get about 5-7 hours on battery saver
Cons:
This laptop pumps out heat and i mean IT PUMPS OUT HEAT. No joke when im playing a game this laptop is hot to the touch. If its really working touching the keyboard is almost uncomfortable. Right now out of the box the laptop is clean and very little dust inside. I wonder how this laptop will work after a little dust has built up and reduces the overall cooling abilities
The fans are pretty loud but ill take loud fans over a laptop that's literally on fire.
I have not even bothered trying to play a game on this in battery mode. Like all the gaming laptops i have purchased no laptop can take that kind of stress for very long. I did play for a bit during a power outage and found the battery would have lasted according to the estimate for about 1 hour and 30 minuets. To me that's a joke of time not even enough to really get into anything serious. i would also like to help preserve the battery and not put such a power draw on it. If you wanna game plug it in...that simple
a few other small things i have noticed
Screen can be wobbly. Kinda sucks when you are on a train trying to work and its wiggling around but its really not that bad most of the time.
the case has a lot of finger smudges on it but what can you do about that humans are disgusting and make everything look worse when they touch it. My phone is no better.
the track pad does not always seem to want to cooperate with me. Ill try to scroll down a page and suddenly i'm minimizing my whole desktop or switching to another desktop all together. Not a major issue and i'm sure if i looked at the settings for scrolling and finger swipes i could fix it.
Overall Review:
Overall i would say that i am very pleased with the laptop. Its a simple look with a little flash and some custom RGB colors for the keyboard. The power is amazing and has handled everything i have tossed at it. In all the laptop just feels sturdy and well built. I LOVE THE METAL CASING it just makes it look so clean. I've taken it in to a few meetings feeling a little self conscious i would get some stares from the older people but it actually turned a few heads in a good way. I got a few comments about the metal case. then i tell them the specs and now a few guys are looking to buy one for themselves !
My biggest complement is to the battery. I have sat on this thing totally mobile working on projects on a decent work load with no power source and went on working for 5-6 hours. Its not like an ultra light pc that can last a day but ill take 5 hours for everything else i get.
The only reason i gave it 4/5 stars is because of the heat. I love the performance and would not give it up but man i have to take my hands away from the keyboard for a few minuets sometimes to cool off. Honestly if i could give it 4.5 i would but i cant.
Again I love this laptop. Its amazing. i can play games. i can work on battery for hours on end. its got decent speakers. it just works! I would recommend to to a colleague or a friend looking to game any day of the week
Pros:
I bought this primary for working remotely as I am a tech buff when it comes to these things. The display is big and bright which allows me to work outside on my patio and see what's on the screen easily. The lightup keyboard options are great and the overall appearance is awesome.
I REALLY like the fact that if I want I can't beef this bad boy up with 64GB RAM and add 2 more NVME M.2 drives which makes this thing very much future proof in my mind (That's hard to say for most laptops, even gaming one's).
All in all I upgraded from another MSI laptop which had a smaller screen but is still going strong (Repurposed). MSI laptops are pretty solid and I have yet to have an issue with any of their products.
Cons:
- Laptop does get HOT, recommend a cooler pad to go with.
- Wish it had 1 or 2 more USB ports.
- Wish it actually did my work for me.
- Lacks latest Wifi 6 adapter
Overall Review: Overall, this is a great laptop and MSI is always really solid. I don't often see Refurbished MSI laptops on the market but HP Omen's are always a dime a dozen for refurbished because they just can't seem to get it right. This is a great laptop and I'm sure it will make you feel as sexy as I do typing this review on it.
Pros: What is so special about it?
Cons: Its expensive
Overall Review: It runs
Pros:
Super clean design and the back lit keys are a really nice touch.
Keyboard is really nice to type and game on
the display is amazing, 144hz gives a smooth experience in gaming, editing and art
Software it comes with is easy to use
Cons:
Only thing that can be an issue is that it will get hot, like most gaming laptops
Overall the keys can get hot but having this on your lap is where you might get turned off. I bought an external cooling pad for cheap online so when I need to use it on campus or at home it can use it wherever. That might be a turn off for some but its a gaming laptop, so its going to get hot.
Overall Review: Amazingly smooth computer, great design and great display, only issue is that it can get hot when gaming. Not the end of the world when most of the time people game on a desk or table. Would recommend to others, but always check and make sure this has everything you want and need. There might be cheaper options with good enough specs, this one is for the ones wanting a high end, sleek, light and thin gaming laptop.
Pros:
Super fast
Extremely powerful
2 remaining slots for SSDs (one NVME and one regular SATA - both M2 interface)
Cons:
Kept doing "automatic repair" after Windows 10 updates (I had to do a clean Windows install to avoid)
Clean install caused issues with Thunderbolt port - had to enable upgrades in BIOS to be able to install the Thunderbolt driver
The touchpad placement isn't just bad for typing - it's also bad for just using the mouse since it's so easy to make an unintended click with your palm with even non-typing usage
Hinges don't seem strong - my MSI GE hinge broke, so going to be careful to open from the center going forward (going from one side puts too much stress on an MSI hinge apparently)
Overall Review:
I've overlooked this line intentionally in the past because I didn't think it was possible for a super slim and lightweight computer to be so powerful and yet run well (mainly cool well). An amazing sale made me take a closer look.
Everything that needs to be said has been said in other reviews, so I'm trying to keep this one to what matters. Overall, this is my new all-time favorite laptop. For someone who wants lots of ports, power, high portability, classy design, and a big 1080p screen on the go, this is the one.
Pros: Fast. Nice FPS. Smooth graphics for gaming.
Cons: Gets hot fast. Need to get used to the keyboard
Overall Review: Overall, worth the money
Pros: My son is very happy thus far! He absolutely love how he can change the color for keyboard background. It’s exceptional for his gaming.
Overall Review: Extremely satisfied so far!!
Loading...
Pros: -Comes as advertised
-Doesn't look like a gaming laptop
Cons: -The (k, ., 5, 7) keys will randomly not register
-Read that other people have had problems with faulty keys too so be ready to ship back for a replacement.
Overall Review: I would recommend buying this, but like I said, be ready to return it. Msi has disappointed me 2 times in a row with faulty keys on their keyboard. Will probably not buy any more laptops from them.
