Product Manuals

Q: I have the MSI GS43VR Phantom Pro-006 but it doesn't work with Samsung 960 Pro SSD. Does this model work with PCIe SSD?

A: Why wouldn't a 960 Pro work? I used one in mine. I put a 2TB Samsung 960 pro in mine and it worked! This model of MSI has a M.2 slot and a traditional 2.5 hard drive slot.

Q: How long is the battery life? And want games can you play on the laptop?

A: It takes about 4-5 hours for a fully-charged laptop to run out of battery, if you just browse the internet and type in a word doc; gaming, however, drains the battery in less than 2 hours. Any 3A games you can think of will have no problem running on this laptop. I just played Assassins Creed Origins with high graphics setting and everything ran smoothly. The only downside, thought, is that the computer gets really really hot when a game is running: it might be a good idea to get a cooler with it!

Q: Is there an option for memory upgrade to 32G from 16GB at Bestbuy? If so, how much and how do I do.

A: There is no option at bestbuy or most other stores. One of the only ones I'm aware of is XOTICPC.com. The ram is easily upgradeable, but in order to upgrade it you must void your warranty.

Q: Tell me the model presented on your website what type of panel? TN or IPS?

A: This model features a 14" Full HD Non Reflection eDP IPS Level display.
