MSI - Vector 16 HX AI 16" 144Hz FHD+ WUXGA Gaming Laptop - Intel Ultra 7-255HX - GeForce RTX 5070Ti -16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Cosmo Gray - Open Box - Fair

I recently purchased this MSI computer and, honestly, I'm very happy with it. It's an excellent choice. It has high-quality internal components, a powerful processor, plenty of RAM, and a graphics card that easily handles everything I need. The materials used also pleasantly surprised me. It's sturdy, well-built, and has an attractive design. There's nothing cheap or flimsy about it. As for performance, games run incredibly well. I've tried several demanding games, and they all run smoothly, without stuttering or frame rate drops. This is a computer that truly offers excellent value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, reliable, and affordable system.

Very nice computer, PLUS the workers are always a great help, not to mention professional. I am so so happy with my laptop. It runs smoothly, I’m in love with the keyboards, etc etc.

This is an excellent mid level laptop. Our son is enjoying it a lot. The usb c display port is very convenient for connecting 2 monitors using daisy chain option. Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased this laptop because of the GPU and its price point. Look and feel is satisfactory. The raised bumps on the bottom keep it up and breathing when on a table. Metal cover on display makes the screen stiff and not flex when opening thr laptop. Good feel and rigity. I like the placement of the ports. HDMI, ethernet and power on the back. USB and 3.5mm audio jack on the sides. Wish it has a couple USBs on the back as well. Over all I use it for CS2 and other titles that can use a "good" bit of resources. Things this laptop lacks is 1 - RAM (64GB 5200Mhz $150), 2 - storage (it has 2 slots so good to get another stick), and 3 - screen (lack luster but does a fair job, 16" NE160QDM-NM4 is a possible upgrade, do your own research). In all, I am going to update all 3 which will cost $390 over time. No issues with performance at this point. I dont like MSI's AI cobtrol panel and keyboard lighting control is very limited. Conclusion: good laptop for the price and is upgradable for better performance. Would like better asthetics/gamer controls. Would recommend to others that want good HW longevity and have ability to make upgrades for enhanced performance/user experience.

I picked this up open box at my local store. The condition was "Open Box Good". The laptop was in excellent condition. It was marked "Good" and not excellent because there was no documentation. Missing documentation didn't bother me at all, as this machine still had the original box and the charger. I added a second NVME SSD, upgraded the RAM to 32 GB and upgraded to Windows 11 Pro. At retail price, I would not recommend, because even though it's still lower in cost than comparable laptops, it's still expensive. However, if available as "Open Box" at a local store and you're able to go and see the machine, boot it and make sure it works as intended, it is an absolute value in an open box state. The reason for this is there are variants of this machine with similar specs that are equipped with a 240 Hz OLED display. I use this laptop for web browsing, online training courses and light gaming. Recommendation: if possible, elevate the rear of the laptop, so the fans can get the proper amount of air. Otherwise, the fans will make a strange humming noise. It annoyed me at first, but once I elevated the rear of the machine, the humming of the fans when gaming stopped.
