Customers frequently mention the THIN GF63's strong performance and its suitability for gaming, highlighting its speed and ability to run many popular titles. Positive feedback also focuses on the keyboard and the value for the price. However, a common concern is the relatively short battery life and the tendency for the laptop to become warm during use.

Exceeded my expectations!
It was time to retire my 2017 HP 17 laptop since it wouldn’t meet today’s tech and apps And became very slow. I was looking for a budget good entry level gaming pc with fast startup and app navigation. Let me tell you this GF63 exceeded my expectations . Plenty of storage and quick startup and apps with the SSD. The red lit keyboard is awesome. Huge upgrade from my old 17’ HP. Very simple to use and MSI center app is awesome to change pc setting and monitor its health. Plays Warzone and forza perfect. I totally recommend this laptop for someone looking for an entry level gaming budget laptop.

Excellent value and portability
Gaming laptops are generally bulky and heavy laptops but NOT this one. This is a very portable (not the lightest but still good) laptop offering balanced CPU / GPU power. Sure it's not the latest or have the greatest graphics but then you're paying less than $500. For that price, this is a very good value laptop that can handle all average daily tasks, many games and some basic graphics or media work. The keyboard is nice and properly sized for my large fingers. It's much easier and a pleasure typing. I do wish the trackpad was slightly larger but it works well. I most often use external mouse anyway. 720p camera is acceptable. It has plenty of built-in USB ports for connectivity, wifi/BT works well. Overall a very good first gaming laptop for value conscious folks. It weighs just barely above 4lbs. Look and feel is great also, see pictures.
