Q: What is the refresh rate of the display?

A: I have not checked anything else, but mine is running at 3840 x 2160 pixels -- 60 Hz. There just might be a faster update rate when a lower resolution is selected, but as said, I have not checked. I'm happy with the high resolution and 60 Hz updates.

Q: Does this specific model offer per-key RGB Keyboard

A: Hello Theace. Thank you for your question. Based on the information provided by the manufacturer, this MSI Creator15 Gaming Laptop comes with a white backlight keyboard (84 Key). You can check more technical details for this MSI Creator15 Gaming Laptop here: ***https://us.msi.com/Content-Creation/Creator-15-A10SX/Specification*** Thank you for choosing Intel!

Q: IS this able to run a vr game like boneworks?

A: That would depend on which headset you are planning to pair with the Creator 15.

Q: Hi, is this laptop Windows 11 ready?

A: I have not had a reason to go and run the Microsoft test, but have all the reason to believe it is compatible, unlike my old Toshiba Satellite. My personal path was to update the new laptop into Professional version of Windows 10, so the IT guys could then update it further to Enterprise version. That way I can access the company server from my home. The company just a couple of years ago changed from Windows 7 to 10 and I must stick to their system. I am retired, but work occasionally (part time) for them. By the way, the keyboard and touch panel are too sensitive -- the cursor seems to jump often to odd locations just on "the shadow" of my palm over the touchpad and my typing appears in the wrong places. Similarly, I often get upper case toggled while typing "a", or an additional space when typing any character from "c" to "n". Otherwise the laptop is quite speedy device.

Q: Is this laptop an actual gaming laptop?

A: Hello Javi. Thank you so much for your question. Yes, based on the system configuration, this MSI-Creator15 is a gaming laptop. Thank you for choosing Intel!
