Great Laptop very well built
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Well built. Had to tweak a few of the settings at first, as it was running in a Turbo mode and causing the fans to run all the time and CPU to stay in 45 c range idle. Once I turned it to the ECO mode it stays around 32 c. Benchmarks only decreased by about 3 %. But I plan on having this awhile. 2060 graphics card holds above 75 frames per second with high settings in Destiny 2 and some other games that showed frames per second. It has a Kingston 512 SSD in it. One stick of 8 GB ram (S7C-S68C201-H23); I put in a PNY 16 GB stick 266 GHZ with it and it works great. Boots in about 12 seconds. Battery seems to last about 2 1/2 hours; would have like longer, but didn't really plan on using it somewhere I couldn't just plug up. Screen in 60 Hz, but I did not see any issues with that. If that is a hang up, just remember you can always upgrade the screen to a 120 Hz or 144 Hz later or have Best Buy do it. (About 60 or 70 dollars for the screen)

Worth When On Sale
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Powerful enough to run even the latest titles in high settings. With RTX 2060 below $900, that is a steal! Sure, it does not have a metal body or an impressive screen but if you are a gamer on the budget, this laptop is of high consideration

MSI GF65 15.6 review
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Great sale price for the specs. Ordered from Best Buy online and shipped quickly. Arrived on time. The laptop was packed well. This will be a Christmas gift for my daughter. The only drawback is the low Ram count. Had to order Ram upgrade separately from a different vendor.

Great gaming laptop
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I recommend this laptop, especially when it's on sale. It's pretty powerful. Every game I've played so far I was able to play at high or even max settings (including Witcher 3 and Monster Hunter World). Also, this laptop can get very loud and hot, so I would recommend buying a cooling pad or something.

Nice and powerful with no extra software
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I am using it for work and it is super fast. Yes the processor fans make noise but not unbearable. Sometimes it glitches on instal and uninstall - freezes up. Had to hard reboot twice by holding power down. Again hard to say if this is a software issue but most likely. Wish I had 16GB RAM though
