Good laptop, minor issue
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this laptop a little over a year now because my job keeps me travelling so I didn't want a desktop and the performance is always great. I frequent FPS games like Overwatch, Fallout 4, and Skyrim and it runs them all without complaint (even with 20+ gb of mods). The only issue I've noticed is the audio port for microphones doesn't work... like at all. I read up online and apparently the piece that connects the microphone jack to the motherboard is very flimsy and if you travel a lot it's likely to break. No big deal though, I just bought the Razer Kraken which connects via USB and everything works.

Love this laptop
|Posted .No matter what I’m trying to do, I have no problems on this laptop. I would recommend a cooling fan, the bottom gets pretty warm sometimes and I have to put a blanket or something underneath to shield my thighs. The speed and response time are great. It’s very quiet. From a complete shut down, mine loads up within seconds. Also, I love the lights on the keyboard and all the different programs that I can sync them to. It pairs perfectly to all of my music! Not having a cd reader is a bit of an inconvenience but has been easy enough to work around. I typically load everything onto a flash drive and then copy what I need to the computer.

My first laptop
|Posted .Needed something to keep up with my life and so far this thing has performed well. I would consider myself a moderate gamer and this plays my games with no problems. looks are nice but finish does show hand prints and dust real easy. With the audio speakers being on the bottom they don't sound that bad and the audio sounds great through stage speakers. I enjoy the audio input as this opens up more options for me personally in my work. I do wish that the charge cable and Ethernet port were on the same side. Under stress the system does push a lot of heat out the back and sides, and some under areas get really hot. This is more a warning for the system does well at keeping its self cool. also know the fans can be loud so even tho you have headphones on, your wife cant sleep in the bed next to you while you game. The LED lights on the front are really bright and can be blinding in a dark room. the size also is a quarter of an inch to big for all of the back packs and carrying cases that I like. I also have a struggle with contrast on the screen in low light moments in games and movies.

Blazing Fast Laptop - Top Quality
|Posted .I was looking for a Laptop computer for my Grandson for School and Gaming. As an MBA Candidate, he needed a fast computer with lots of Memory and Storage. We looked at a number of Laptops and decided on the MSI GS Series Stealth Pro 15.6" since it exceeded all of the Specifications required by the School and still provided an entertainment platform. On the Gaming side the Intel Core i7, 16GB of Memory, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 delivered performance way beyond our expectation (Refresh rate of 240 frames / second). In addition, the 256GB Solid State Drive enables 6 second startup time. Programmable keyboard lighting is a nice extra. Summary -> Incredible Machine at a reasonable price. I would give this a 5 Star Rating for sure.

Great for gaming and video editing on the go
|Posted .With a kaby lake i7700HQ and a GTX 1060, the GS63vr is more than capable to run most games at high settings with no problems. Video capturing and editing is also quite good with rendering times remaining quit fast. Build quality is also very good with a brushed aluminum case, comfortable keyboard and decent track pad. The screen is also pretty good and has my Vanquish and Binary Domain looking silly smooth and awesome in 4K!!!! If you want a great laptop with the best bang for you buck this MSI GS63 vr is for you.

Awesome Device
|Posted .This is my 3 third MSI gaming laptop AND I got it with a great discount. Sweet! I simply love this one. As a gaming laptop, it is very light to me. The keyboard feeling is good. The speaker also. The MSI laptop design always look great to me. Also, I bring this one to work and it looks professional too. When I want a bigger screen to play games, I could connect it with a TV. I am happy with this purchase.

Powerful, fun and affordable laptop
|Posted .We are very happy with this laptop, it is the perfect combination of power and affordability - plus fun with the colored backlit keyboard and gaming features. No problems yet to report. The BestBuy sales associate was helpful in making sure we got the best deal, however we did see one at another location with a larger screen for the same price, so be sure to do your research if that is what you want.

Q: Questioncan someone explain me what is the diferencce between this best-buy version with the msi version ?
Asked by tonumi.
- A:Answer From the YouTube reviews, the Best Buy has a TN panel (Non-IPS) for it's screen (horrible viewing angles). I confirmed this by looking at their display model in store. Unless you are directly in square in front the colors and picture itself degrades

Q: Questionwould this be good computer for a Architect student? is this consider the MSI Pro "all in one" that can be used for business, ie, AutoCAD, Rhino, Adobe Creative suite, etc. does is the operating system 64 bit ? your website does not specify. Help.
Asked by sandrap.
- A:Answer I'm currently an Engineering student that bought this laptop to run programs like AutoCAD 2017 and also things like Vectorworks and Revit. It does have a 64-bit operating system, and runs all of those programs super well while also being really light and thin if you need to carry it around in a pack of some sort.

Q: Questionwhat's the battery's life in this laptop?
Asked by mrh88.
- A:Answer Not super great. When doing regular stuff I get 3-4 hours. When gaming, it's much less which is to be expected obviously. I haven't measured it but I'd gather around 1 hour of battery while gaming. Not a big deal for me as I got it for the power/gaming aspects and understand that battery is somewhat of a sacrifice especially with the smaller chassis.

Q: QuestionOne part of the description says "4K" and the other says "1080x1920". So which is it?
Asked by babaloo.
- A:Answer It's the latter, 1920x1080. There are models with a 4K screen and it appears they used that text here by accident. It is an excellent screen, though. While researching this laptop before purchase I did see quite a few reviewers talking about the difference between this and a 4K screen, and the general consensus was that the higher resolution didn't make much of a difference for a laptop.

Q: QuestionDo the individual keys light up by program or only zone lighting?
Asked by DrMorbius808.
- A:Answer By Zone....you can make all the zones the same color or different colors. There are 3 zones. There is a "gaming" option that only lights up the left side of the keyboard (I guess to emphasize those keys used in gaming...but it's the whole zone and not individual keys such as WASD.

Q: QuestionIs the screen an ips like the previous 34 version or the cheaper screen on the 01 version of last year's model?
Asked by Ttan.
- A:Answer It is the cheaper version screen, as stated previously. However, to correct the poster who said that the 230 version has the same specs, that is not true. The 230 version has the better ips screen, as well as a PCIE SSD (vs M.2 SATA for the 252) and a 2TB SATA HD (vs 1TB for 252). The 230 version also has an MSRP that is $250 more expensive.
