MSI - 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 1TB Hard Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive - Aluminum Black

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was going between this model and an ASUS and I am glad that I went with this one. I upgraded from a Lenovo that I purchased a few years ago now, and this one is so much better. This laptop is almost as fast as my desktop, which is also running the I7-8700K. I case is sturdy enough that I don't feel it will break or squish the inside. The screen is bright and viewable even with the sun behind me. The battery lasts about 3-4hrs depending on how easy I am with the battery usage. If you do anything that requires the use of the GTX 1060 card, you need to plug it in, as the battery doesn't last as long as your game will. Overall I really like it, and I am glad I finally bought a gaming laptop.

I had never heard of MSI laptops before. I knew about their other products (mainly the computer components) and I knew a little about their quality. I went to Best Buy and got to take a look at this computer and was surprised by the weight (super light for a gaming laptop) and the price. I usually buy ASUS laptops and was about to get another one until I looked at this MSI model. The price difference was negligible and for a little more cash I could get a lighter, faster, and highly reviewed laptop from MSI. So far I have had no issue playing my games or running any type of office program for my school work. I would definitely recommend looking into this laptop if you can spare a little extra cash over the other brands.

I am an IT Field Tech an use this for work and home use. I am in the field 85% of the time and the GS63 has been great for my day to day work with the battery life lasting most of the day but using command prompt and putty doesn't take that much resources. Then when I get home I crank up the gaming on it. The 1060 works flawlessly for me. I play Destiny 2 and CSGO most of the time with high graphics turned on. Occasionally I will play some Warcraft with my kids. I am extremely happy with this laptop. I do love the fact that I can change the keyboard lighting to fit any game I play or just give it different colors to be different.

I got this computer as a desktop alternative during hurricane Michael. I had no lights. It was an adjust going from a my desktop 4k display to a 15" 1080p; be that as it may, I also have a surface book 1 and it has a 4k display. I was a little disappointed that this laptop did not carry that screen at $1500+ price point. The battery life clocks in at about 5 hours with moderate use. I typically do some photo editing or graphic design with illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign and sometime office. I wish the battery could hold up for about 7ish hours. And for the life of me I am not sure why the power jack is in the middle of the base!! And the power adapter is literally a big rectangular brick. However, it looks and feel like a million dollars. When you pick it up it feels like its made from steel. the keyboard is hella responsive. the back lighting of the keyboard is gorgeous . The full keyboard is much appreciated. The webcam is at top where it should be. The trackpads work and is nicely placed, so I am not accidentally hitting it. the core i7 is a beast and I cannot say enough about the graphic card. It even has a Ethernet port!!! If you are hybrid programmer/designer like me, I would recommend this laptop. If you do more drawing and sketch this is not for you.
