Insanely fast. Runs a little warm so buy a cooling pad with it. 360hz display is a cheat code for gaming, considering a 360hz standalone monitor is over $600. Keyboard is the perfect amount of click.

Overall build of this laptop is great. Core i9, RTX 3070, 32 GB Ram, and 1TB SSD.
At this price point, you're paying a premium for high ends specs in a slender build but at the cost of GPU power as this RTX 3070 is the 80w variant (95w boost).
If you're paying full price, I highly recommend the QHD screen (1440p) and not the FHD.

Sold my gaming desktop for this hunk of junk. What a mistake. No wonder why its so cheap. Laptop is gorgeous don't get me wrong. Graphics are decent, speed is nice, etc. Until you play a resource heavy game. Cpu hits 100 degrees!! Averages about 93 or so. Fans and performance on max. Definitely recommend a cooling mat but it shouldn't even get that hot to begin with. If you don't boost performance it runs cooler but fps is not that great. On my desktop with a i7 and 2080 super I was averaging over 200fps on high settings. With medium settings I am getting half that. Terrible. I gave it 3 stars because for a casual gamer on the move that wants to enjoy some free time then its ok. But planning to spend hours on this thing is impossible. I don't see this things lasting more than a year before it blows up or something breaks. Also, keyboard is cheap and laptop is very glitchy sometimes. Game stutters once in a while and crashes also. Better off buying a desktop with a i7 and 3060 or something with 16gb ram if you want to save money. I use to be a computer technician so I optimized everything I could and troubleshooted for 2 whole days but my conclusion is to just get a desktop of you want stable performance.

Prior to the GS76, I owned an MSI GS65. I loved that laptop, though it got a bit warm and loud sometimes. This GS76 is almost better in every way: Its battery life is longer, provided you utilize the profiles. It boots up rapidly and add the 2nd storage drive is super easy. The keyboard is fine and doesn't take too long to get used to. I've been using it primarily to run several VMs with some gaming on the side and it has been great.
However, I did end up with one working speaker. Opening a ticket, they wanted to do a full RMA process to fix it, even though the replacement speakers are simple to fix. As I needed the laptop for the near future and did not want to go a month+ without it, I did not opt for that. I plan to use headsets for most of the time. So I can't speak for the audio quality.

So I love it honestly, I bought it to play in the other room when family comes over since my pc setup is in the living room. The problem I’m having is when I’m dedicated graphics mode it flickers, in the regular mode it works great. Not to sure why it does this but doesn’t matter. Another thing is playing on wifi be prefect too just in case you can’t plug in hard wire. Battery life is so so. I bought the battle field ssd that comes with the game and extra space. Easy to install, I did want the 3080 one bought it’s about a extra 1000 just for that and that’s crazy so I settle for the 3070, very happy

When i bought this, i was apprehensive about the few lowe rates reviews. Im not any longer. I have run this machine at 100% CPU and GPU encoding and decoding video and , whiel the fans can be noisy, it runs great. I do not get thermal throttling, which is what should happen to the bad review stating they get too hot and die. Thermal throttling is built into the CPU, GPU, and SSDs. A really cool undocumented tidbit is i can use this laptop as a lower end gamer with a 90watt USB C charger! Yes, so if youre traveling amd dont want ot need to game (I mean high GPU gaming) you cam snag a good USB C 90-200Watt charger and it will scale to meet your needs while keepingbthe battyer charfed! The only "Cons" i see with this laptop is the sound. Its not very impressive given the fan noise. A good set of headphone and youre fine. The itherbis the lack of ports. Two USB A, a USB C and a Thunderbolt 4 port, as well as a oretty useless full sized SD card reader is all you get. Drop the SS card, put a micro reader in the front, and add another USB C port. My wifi is 1.7Gb/s so its faster than eathernet with no noticable latency, so for me, even an ethernet port is becoming old given its almost the only plug that could get smaller and hasnt. The HDMI port is great to have, allowing for another monitor. At one point, with USB C to HDMI adapters, i had 3 external monitors on this bad boy with no issues. I did upgrade to Windows 11 and found a boatload of drivers and software updates available. This procedure is generally going to be the cause of most issues peiple have. Lack of comouter maintenance. I also added another 1TB m.2 NMVe ssd to store my games. The standard, Micron, is pkenty fast, just not karge enough.

A great gaming laptop for its price. i9, 360hz display paired up with the 3070 is a nice set up. I recommend this to anyone looking for a gaming laptop as well as a desktop replacement. Its also a very light and smaller in size than most 17.3" laptop.

This laptop is awesome! Everything is so fast. I bought it for a mix of studying, development work, gaming and some video editing and so far it has been amazing. I have only played a few games so far but they have all run at max settings with no issues and the screen looks amazing.
I have been an MSI fan for years and having used their Desktop Motherboards and Graphics Cards. Never had any issues with those so when buying my gaming laptop they are the brand I was lookign for. Add to that the fact the price for what you get in this package and you can't go wrong.

Sorry guys. This baby is wonderful design very lite to carry places. But it gets so hot, the AFTERBURNER shows 50 to 60 degree when using the internet browsers not problem there, the problem is that the fans never take a break their are constantly throwing hot air and my wood table doesn’t like that, it got toasted. Be careful very powerful laptop no doubt about it. Just be careful the hot air is very dangerous for furniture tables. I don’t like returned after a month used. Maybe needs some more adjustments. Thanks for reading.

Probably a 4.5 star. For price and specs, great deal. The fans are really loud, they have a built in feature to go to max but not medium (probably exist a software to do that but I have yet to find it).
Comp gets hot playing league, but otherwise its performance is excellent.

Super laptop! I bought this laptop mainly for video editing. The 32 gb of RAM is perfect for that and the computer is very fast.
