A:AnswerThere are many variables that will affect battery life when gaming, like the specific game and other settings. On average you may see a 2-4 hour battery life when gaming.
A:AnswerI use Steam with this laptop and all the games I've downloaded and played work great! the problem I have with this laptop is the sound absolutely sucks. if you're going to go for a great machine...give the ASUS ROG laptop a shot
A:AnswerIt may be possible when connecting the monitor to the mDP 1.2 port on the laptop. Performance will vary depending on screen resolution and game GPU demand.
A:AnswerHello! You should be able to go online to www.office.com/setup, login to (or create) your account, and punch the product key in. That should (hopefully) allow you to download it instead of using the disk, and tie it to your account for later use on different devices.
A:AnswerThat was my exact reason to give it a shot... All I can say is that theoretically it appears possible but functionally my lifetime of computer usage was unable to even enable the thunderbolt port. Nor was I technically experienced enough to even submit a help request on their website, let alone download the most recent drivers. Drivers that apparently are necessary prior to using the basic features. It is a very different experience than you get with most Windows laptops, or at least, any laptop I've used during my 13 years post college working with them. I truly dislike being negative towards a company but hopefully it will help people who try to do exactly what I did and give this impressive laptop a shot. If anyone else is frustrated getting this thing to work, please understand that neither myself nor a friend who works in the IT department could even submit a help request ticket to MSI. The gold plated headphone jack was cool looking though.
A:AnswerI'd expect it to breeze through Skyrim with just about any mods you could throw at it. So far it's been able to pull off 1080p/60 on Ultra with every game I've thrown at it, and most of them have been in the 2-3 year range. Skyrim is 8+ years old. I don't doubt that you could bog the system down if you tried hard enough, I think you'd have to actively try to overdo it.
A:AnswerYou need to update the graphics drivers. I was running into this problem a few months back, and I didn't think about needing to update the intel (on board) graphics card.
Here's a link to the download center for intel. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/Graphics-Drivers
A:AnswerTo redeem follow the directions on the Receipt and enter the code. When on the site look for the download. It is around 55 GB and takes a while to download around 2-3 hours.
