Excellent Laptop for Programmer
I wanted a laptop that would be light weight but powerful enough to perform work and quotidian tasks. then, I bought MSI GS 63 from Best Buy. This has been the best laptop I have owned so far. the case is beautiful made up of aluminium and is thin. The built in Steel series RGB keyboard is absolutely beautiful and fully customized and squeezing in the number pad and is a plus for me in a 15.4 form factor. Screen is standard 1080p, is best for Nvidia GTX 1060. I can project on a 4K monitor for better resolution if needed, but it does not affect frame rate when used above low settings. As a developer, it can used to code as well. The battery life is awesome for daily use. The laptop comes with 256 GB SSD. But the best part is it can be replaced one with higher storage capacity. Also, it has a 16 GB RAM and can be upgraded with 32 GB. There is no optical drive. I would love to have an optical drive but it is fine. Overall, the laptop is very powerful and beautiful. I feel at the given price I would take it any day.

A laptop worth buying
I just bought this laptop and had no problems with it. It was on sale and it also has the latest processor. It is fast and plays most the games I want like DOTA 2 and PUBG. I've been using it for hours of playing and no problems with the heat. the frame is solid. design is sleek. good for work and gaming. the keyboard colors or good and vibrant. it doesn't have that bright irritating glow underneath. speakers are loud. fan noise is minimal. all in all it is a great laptop worth buying. If you want something that is kinda above your budget and this would be worth it.

Best gaming laptop for portability
I would strongly recommend this laptop for any gamer who takes portability and battery life into consideration. As a casual gamer I bought this laptop to be able to bring to school without looking like a fool carrying around a 10lb brick. The power adapter is very portable as well and is very thin and the length is a little less than 6 inches. The battery life is great, for casual use I am getting about 5 hours without making any adjustments to the settings yet. Playing any modern game on ultra settings is a breeze with good internet connection. The sound is extremely crisp with Dynaudio and I'm very impressed with how smooth the Steelseries keyboard is and how responsive and smooth it feels typing with it. The fan usually kicks on when I am updating the computer or playing a game but it is honestly the quietest fan I have heard and the computer doesn't get too hot either, I just wouldn't recommend keeping it on your lap either way. My only gripe is the sensitivity of the trackpad when you're typing can get annoying so I usually turn off the trackpad when I am typing up documents.

Amazing specs for the price point
This gaming laptop is a beast! The specs are among the best with Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU, 16GB ram with intel core i7 8th gen, 1TB HDD, 256GB SSD. With all these specs the laptop weighs just 1.9-2 kgs, which is fantastic! The laptop isn’t too bulky too in terms or it’s dimension. Makes it compact for a 15 inch laptop and easy to carry. Graphic intensive run very smoothly. I got this to train deep learning models and I’ve have read great reviews about MSI GS63 ability to train with great speeds. I would definitely recommend to go with this one if you can stretch your budget a bit. It won’t disappoint!

Best laptop of its kind with one small setback
When I was originally comparing laptops online, I did not know much about MSI laptops other than that they were higher end for the purpose of gaming. I myself am a casual gamer, but not enough to consider this higher-end laptop. So when I made up my mind what I wanted, I went into the store to pick it out. I saw this one on the shelf and looked at it for the fun of it, even though I wasn't planning on buying it. Everything about it begun to draw me in. Starting with the display, then the robust keyboard, and the superior build quality... I was in love with it. But it was out of my price range and I put it out of my mind and found the one I originally had in mind. It... disappointed, lets leave it at that. In my mind, I knew what I really wanted to walk out of the store with that day. And I did. And in the past 2 weeks that I have owned it, I have not been let down. Its super powerful, yet super quiet. I almost never hear the fan kick on although it really doesn't need to because it does an excellent job of redistributing the heat it generates. I have had no performance issues with it whatsoever. My one major complaint I'd have to say is I am not crazy about the track pad buttons which are integrated into said track pad, rather than just below it. I often have difficulties finding them as they are very precise in their location. They also don't register in the lower corners of the track pad which is where I have a habit of going to when I click on things. So I'll probably have to get a mouse to use when I'm working/playing on a flat surface-which is a minor annoyance that I can live with. My final thought would have to be, if this laptop is in your price range then buy it. It is a great product with no defects or issues that I have experienced.
