I bought this laptop as a student who wanted a powerful gaming machine for on the go during train commutes, but also something sleek and clean for classroom work
Overall the design of this beautiful machine is superior to any gaming laptop iv'e seen
Thank you MSI for delivering a magnificent gaming machine!
and I have what I consider to be a perfect machine for gaming on the go
This is a wonderful laptop that I would recommend to anyone looking for a more portable and powerful gaming machine without the aesthetics that scream "GAMER FUEL"
Other than that, the look is beautiful and I love the big display
I was impressed with the build quality and love the overall look
The steel series keyboard feels clicky and amazing, looks "gamey" with its RGB lighting, and still keeps a premium/stylish look that is able to pass for a more expensive, work based laptop
The exterior build allows a luxurious look, extremely slim, and feels well built
Love the clean look of the keyboard without having a cramped numpad
Fans get decently loud while gaming but cannot hear it with my headphones on
But very light considering that it is a powerful gaming laptop
This laptop has great quality and very good gaming stuff
Can't recommend everyone to get this laptop enough if you are looking for a good gaming laptop.
Battery life while gaming is mediocre at best, terrible at worst, it lasts for me at least 2 hours, but most of the time only around an hour and a half
The sleek exterior design perfectly fits my aesthetic, along with the quiet fans and great versatility I would definitely say it was a worthwhile purchase
It's a great keyboard, great design, great performance.
Looks great and does not have an overly aggressive "gaming laptop" design aside from the MSI logo.- Thin and light
The other thing I love about this laptop is that the exterior is very muted as opposed to most other "gaming" laptops with their red highlights and harsh angles and design.
Very glad to see more manufacturers abandoning the obnoxious "gamer" design with aggressive lights, branding, and sharp angles
Battery life is also good enough, though not incredible.
Great build quality, battery life, cooling and performance for the price
I stated my opinion of the pricing in the shorter version, right now I'm just having a blast with this laptop, way better than rog zephyrus, I'm glad I returned that laptop, the battery life is pathetic
And I figured if gamers are raving about it, and the battery life is good, and it's not too
But it was a beast at over 7lbs and the battery life was not good
Great performance / fastCons:- Computer gets very hot which causes loud fans
Bought this laptop primarily for studies as well as to be able to use it when I go home for the weekends
Gets hot to the touch while under load and the fans get pretty loud
And when they're "idle" there is an annoying whirring/clicking/humming coming from the right fan.
The keyboard gets warm and if you accidentally venture above the function row, especially by the escape button or above the delete button where the right fan buzzes constantly, be sure you're wearing your Nomex gloves or you may get burned.
