    Best Gaming Laptop on the Market!

    Great experience all around! Had an issue with my old laptop and Christian from the Geek Squad convinced me into getting this bad boy! I couldn't be happier. It is blazing fast, I haven't lagged even once, and it just feels amazingly smooth as I'm gaming. The graphics card is better than my last gaming laptop, and it's noticeable. I looked at a bunch of different laptops, and this one is really the only one that had everything I wanted. The 1TB storage, the 3060, the 240Hz. Nuff said! 10 out of 10

    Great Laptop for Editing

    I absolutely love the computer, the graphics are great, the operating speed is quick and responsive, and the rgb lights and the sound of the keyboard are so enjoyable to see and hear! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for either a really good gaming laptop or a great editing laptop, as I am using it for that sole purpose!

    Great machine but poor reliability/service

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

    Excellent laptop but reliability has been poor overall. Bought this machine a little over a year ago. About 6 months in, the 'c' keyboard on the keyboard stopped working. Sent it into MSI repair under warranty and they replaced the keyboard. Unfortunately, they replaced the fully addressable RGB keyboard with a black/white keyboard. Oh well.. at least it works now. Then about 6 months after that (around 1 year) the trackpad started getting real flakey and the machine would spin up all fans and then shut off intermittently. Turns out the machine is seriously overheating. Opened it up to find totally dried thermal paste as the cause. I suspect they removed the heatsink when repairing the unit but didn't put new paste on the CPU/GPU. Also.. the battery is down to about 45% of it's life after 1 year which seems to show pretty poor battery management. Lucky if it runs 1 hour if not on AC power doing nothing but web browsing. So.. new keyboard (wrong one), new trackpad.. battery already almost useless and dry thermal paste causing overheating all in about 13 months.

    This laptop is one of the best gaming laptops I have used. It is a good computer to buy when starting gaming and you don't want a built pc. This computer is affordable and also more practical than a built pc when thinking about college and moving around.

    While looking around for a laptop that I could use for my video game engineering bachelor's degree in university msi was one of the most reccomended companies I got and decided to buy this laptop. So far its been a great laptop for playing video games and just feels amazing to use. I've played on console my whole life and the change from console to a pc has been amazing thus far. Games I've tried out such as doom eternal and destiny 2 run amazing on the laptop, would definetly reccomend this one.

    High End Laptop

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

    My boyfriends laptop was on the verge of death so we went looking for a powerful gaming laptop that wasn't farfetched in price. We were shocked to find this incredible laptop equipped with high end specs for a reasonable price. The display is a 240hz aswell which isn't your average screen. Also the keyboard's RGB is amazing and extremely bright, which I personally loved. We've had it for a while now and It's been nothing but incredible.

    Currently writing this review on the very laptop I'm writing about, so you know its good! Compared to my last laptop, it runs way faster and, especially in just loading apps and websites; it's almost instantaneous! The screen also just feels very smooth and is nice to look at. And of course the light up keyboard is a nice touch. Basically I am very satisfied and would definitely recommend!

    Needed a laptop with a lot of processing power for a college engineering class, ended up buying this one. I have had it for a week and I'm loving it, it is by far one of the slimmest gaming computers I've seen and all the games.. I mean college work I run on it all perform beautifully. I would recommend.

    First Gaming Laptop

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

    This is my first actual gaming laptop, and I would have to say that I am impressed. At first I was a little iffy on the price because of how expensive gaming laptops can be, but it definitely justifies the cost. It feels so good whenever I use it, a major upgrade from my last laptop and my first MSI product. Most likely will buy more products in the future.
