    Best Laptop Ever

    This is the best laptop I've ever had, it works fast, and has a lot of storage so you don't have to worry about it for a while. I use it for gaming and for school and it works great for both. Only downside is the battery life, it runs low quick due to it working on everything else, but it's the easy fix of just charging it.

    Great computer and runs things well! It gets loud asf but it never gets super hot or start acting up. The trackpad is not the greatest as it’s pretty hollow underneath and makes a noise when you tap it that just sounds too plasticy and low quality for the price this costs. I expected the trackpad quality to match the body of the computer at least weight wise. A light plastic trackpad makes for an annoying at times where you need precision. Additionally the ergonomics of the keys are a little bothersome as they’re flat, but not that easy to press. Makes typing feel a little more robotic, so i got myself an external keyboard that allows me to type smoothly. The mic quality through computers issues definitely not the worst i’ve heard and sounds better than even macbooks lol, and the camera quality isn’t terrible either. Would I want to join a call or stream with the default camera?? No. It’s a nice weight and not heavy to carry, oh and also the material of the top backside of the computer holds fingerprints so easily and in your face that i’d get a case, wear gloves 25/8, or get some cool stickers lol OMG and the battery drains faster and god knows what so please always have the charger with you. I think the battery life is the biggest downfall, but most gaming laptops runs through battery life pretty fast bc they’re not built to be great in that department.

    This is superb laptop. It functions excellently and lag is always at a minimum. The only complaint I had was that it does not come with a CD/DVD burner. I bought an external on to fix that. But overall, I would recommend this to anyone for purchase.

    So far this laptop has been great. It arrived early in secure packaging. The setup was easy. I am enjoying the smooth processing. I play pc games on here and am often in discord and streaming movies at the same time and I haven’t run into any issues. I do wish there was a 2TB SDD option. Graphics are excellent with this one.

    Good performance but too much power usage

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Good performance, I recommend lowering the maximum processor rate for battery and plugged in to less than 99% or 100% since the laptop will overheat to 90 degrees Celsius. My average temperature is now 36-37 degrees Celsius now. As for unable to turn on for the first time, take a paper clip and put it in the battery reset hole for 5 seconds then take it out and wait 4 to 5 minutes, then power on.

    I recently purchased a gaming laptop that has exceeded all my expectations, and I'm thrilled to share my experience with you. This gaming laptop is an absolute beast when it comes to performance, and it has become my go-to companion for all my gaming adventures. First and foremost, the raw power of this laptop is exceptional. Equipped with a high-end processor and a top-of-the-line graphics card, it effortlessly handles the most demanding games with ease. The frame rates are buttery smooth, and the graphics are incredibly immersive, which truly elevates my gaming experience to the next level. The laptop's display is another standout feature. The vibrant colors, sharp details, and excellent contrast make every game visually stunning. Whether I'm exploring vast open worlds or engaging in fast-paced multiplayer battles, the display never fails to impress. Additionally, the high refresh rate ensures smooth gameplay, eliminating any trace of lag or stuttering. The cooling system on this laptop deserves special mention. Even during extended gaming sessions, the laptop remains cool, thanks to the efficient heat dissipation. This is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and preventing any potential throttling issues. I can enjoy hours of uninterrupted gaming without worrying about overheating. Portability is often a concern with gaming laptops, but this model strikes a good balance. It's surprisingly lightweight and slim, making it easy to carry around. The battery life is decent too, giving me several hours of gaming on the go before needing a recharge. Lastly, the laptop's build quality is excellent, with a sturdy chassis that feels durable and reliable. The selection of ports is generous, offering a wide range of connectivity options for peripherals and external devices. In conclusion, this gaming laptop has truly impressed me in every aspect. Its exceptional performance, stunning display, efficient cooling system, comfortable keyboard, and solid build quality make it a top-tier choice for any gaming enthusiast. If you're looking for a gaming laptop that delivers on both power and portability, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It's a game-changer!

    The MSI-GF63 works even better than I had hoped. It has excellent speed, storage and doesn't lag like my old computer did. My only negative is the battery doesn't last long.

    Great laptop. Ŵebpages open quickly. Games are very smooth without lag. The only issue i've run into is, this laptop doesnt support VR. The graphics card isnt compatible. We finally got it to work, but not without some issues. I would definitely recommend this laptop if youre into gaming or graphic design. Fast loading apps, webpages and programs. Videos and graphics are clear, crisp and detailed. Great for fun and work. Oh, and the keys light up red!

    We got this laptop for my 18yr old daughter who is a senior in high school. It works great for her schoolwork, especially with all the projects she has this year. We actually selected a gaming laptop for her because she loves playing video games. Genshin Impact is her absolute favorite, and even my mind was blown by how awesome the graphics looked compared to her last laptop. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that after only 2 1/2 months it has stopped charging for no apparent reason. MSI seems like they are being reasonable about the warranty though. She still loves it.

    I have purchased several MSI gaming laptops in the past, but this one is by far the best one yet. It is rare to find a Windows 11 laptop with 32GB of RAM at the big box stores these days, which makes this MSI a great deal and value. With an 11th gen Intel core i7 processor, a 1TB SSD and a NVIDIA RTX 3050 video, this laptop is quite impressive.

    We bought this for our son who was going away to college. He loves it!! SUPER fast -- great for gaming, homework and class work. MSI is well known for their quality and Best Buy obviously did their homework in teaming up with them to have these in their inventory. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

    So far so good, the laptop perform fine until the battery gets low then it starts to lag a bit. Mine has an issue on the inside where some metal bars are bent the the rear panel doesn't close properly and scrapes the monitor piece.
