Many appreciate its speed and smooth operation, along with the value for the cost. However, some users noted that the battery life could be improved, and that the laptop can get warm and the fan may be noisy at times.

    Bought this laptop for my fiance who wanted to play games together. No issues so far! Great specs for the price and the performance is flawless during the less demanding games we’ve played on it. We have noticed that it gets “warmer” to the touch after long gaming sessions, but that is expected with the more power and heat demanding components thrown into it. No complaints, would recommend for a gamer not playing the most demanding of games (Even though it seems it will play well on those too!)

    This laptop is great for playing video games. Especially warzone. The gpu allows the games to run perfectly, even with the highest frame rate. After narrowing down my options with the Best Buy employees, I was able to get this laptop delivered to my door at a decent price.

    Awesome Gaming Laptop for a Bargain!

    Love this laptop! Super cute and simple. Has all the power I need to accomplish university assignments, play my online MMORPG, and super awesome at multi-tasking. Only complaint and reason I didn't give 5 stars is cause the battery doesn't last super long but then again I'm on it all day for school, internship, and gaming at home. But if you only need it for a shorter time than it's perfect. Plus it's a bargain compared to other gaming laptops while still looking great. Super glad I got this laptop. Good luck!

    The MSI Sword does not fail to deliver ground breaking performance. I mainly use it for editing photo and video on the go, but have played a few games online such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Grounded on medium to moderate graphic settings with solid frame rates.

    A good LAN party laptop.

    I bought this for my teenage Daughter so there wouldn't be sharing of computers in the house that are capable of playing games. She is able to play any e-sports titles on this, as well as many other games. The battery life on this is "okay" when not playing games, but when gaming it absolutely needs to be plugged in or the battery is going to drain, but that's expected when using even mobile graphics cards on battery. Overall it does the job that it needs to do, and that's a very capable gaming machine that is portable enough to play from anywhere in the house, or to take to a LAN party.

    Great laptop for CAD, but don’t get the white colo

    This has been a great laptop for me. The CAD program I use for work requires a stout video card & this one delivers. I wish I could give it 5 stars but I just can’t. Why? Because the keyboard is white with pale blue lights. Translation: it’s really hard to see the keys in the daylight & very difficult at night. I won’t make that mistake again the next time I buy a laptop. I do like having the number keys on the right side, not at the top of the keyboard. Overall, I’m very happy with the performance, but difficulty seeing the darn keyboard is not fun.

    Very happy with this purchase, especially getting it on sale made it an even better value. Has ran flawlessly since day one and am happy with the performance and looks of this. I did a lot of research on entry level gaming laptops and this one made the top of the list. Pleased that I can also expand the memory when time comes to do so.

    Had a great gaming experience on this laptop. It gets a bit hot so recommend a cooling fan of some sort but it runs everything great and more.

    Great computer for the price when bought on sale. I upgraded the RAM, other than that I can’t complain for a low budget gaming computer. I read complaints about battery life but as long as you optimize your video settings you can get 3-4 hours easily.

    A very good gaming laptop. I got this PC on sale for $1100. I was between this PC and a Lenovo Slim with similar specs. I preferred the design of the Lenovo and its metal case. However the Lenovo Slim was $600 more expensive at the time. The MSI was by far the better deal.

    Oh, I love this laptop. It has not disappointed me in any way, shape or form. The only thing that didn't work out in my favor was it's a Windows 11 machine and does not support a dual boot system but as far as performance this thing is amazing runs great.

    Does its job well, but it is still a gaming laptop, so expect heating issues depending on how demanding the game is for performance. Easy to optimize the fans, but i would suggest investing in a cooling stand.
