Pros and cons

  • You can play games like Fortnite or FIFA 23 at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD, thanks to the RTX 3050 video card, i5 processor, and 16GB RAM.
  • The 144Hz screen displays moving images fast and smoothly, which is especially useful for fast shooters.

Great laptop, software is a letdown.

  • Beautiful image
  • Nice and fast
  • Nice design
  • Many unwanted apps are installed and are difficult to remove.

In terms of design and ergonomics, it is a fantastic laptop, the quality of the screen is razor-sharp and even if you stand in a less favorable position you can see the image well. Keyboard lighting is dimmable and can be easily adjusted to your preference. Touchpad is very responsive. Sufficient memory and MSi has opted for the fast version of the i7 processor (h-type). The laptop looks nice and is nicely balanced when opened. Sufficient ports/connections. What is a bit annoying is that the battery does not reach 100 percent charge. Maybe that's because of the BMS, but I can't find it. What is really a letdown in my experience is more intended for the supplied Windows version than for the laptop. When you start up, you are presented with all kinds of incriminating nonsense, such as all kinds of media reports about current news, but also all kinds of apps are annoyingly intrusive. What I would expect would be: "right-click-delete" and voila, gone. But nothing is less true. To completely get rid of the annoying Ai-Bing and Cortana applications, I even had to disable them binary in the Registry editor. As far as I'm concerned, it's a real letdown. The Office365 applications including logo also keep showing up everywhere even though I have installed another Office version (once purchased), every time they try to refer you to a paid subscription. Still, I would buy this laptop again, based on the hardware. After the necessary annoyance with the software, it is simply a very nice device.

If these two points are okay for you, definitely buy it.

  • Battery management is very good.
  • The screen size provides a good gaming experience.
  • The keyboard lighting and keys are very nice to use.
  • The design collects dust.

Battery management is very good. While playing games, the power from the battery and charger is completely directed to the cpu and gpu. In this case, the performance does not decrease in any way while playing games. Of course, in this case, the charge level drops, but if it drops below 30%, it deactivates this feature and starts charging. This provides an excellent gaming experience. The design collects dust. Dust gets between the bezel around the bottom case and the bezel around the screen and I think it will be difficult for me to clean it for a long time. The touch pad makes noise. As you run your fingers over it, there is a very, very, very little sound. It bothered me when I was working in a quiet environment. This is not a defect, I think it is in the design of the device.
