    Great budget gaming laptop was on sale for 899 plus tax. may need to upgrade its rams maybe to run a game and have other stuff running on the background. My only gripe is the screen is smaller because of its massive ugly bezel taking up to 20% of its space. Would have love it to be a very thin bezel for bigger screen. Speakers are not that great and barely hearable when using youtube and movies. Get some earphones or a bluetooth speaker.

    I purchased the MSI Sword back in a March and have been able to run games like Valheim, Civilization, Stellaris and more. Just recently I spilled water all over my laptop accidentally and after letting it dry for a few hours under the sun it still ran perfectly fine. I’m amazed because I thought my precious Sword was going to be water damaged and ruined for good. For $1,100 this laptop will provide your moneys worth.

    So far so good, my son is really enjoying and it seems to handle all the games he’s thrown at it so far, although he doesn’t play the newest gen games.

    So this laptop is ny intro into PC gaming. It's an early Birthday present to myself and it is awesome. I am a novice when it comes to PC gaming but this rig eased me into it. Once I got it up amd running i was able to play Halo @ 1080p/144 fps. It's a solid 4.5/5. You wont go wrong buying this laptop.

    I am sitting her dumbfounded and disappointed. First off I upgraded from a 2011 sony vaio with a I7 and integrated graphics. This laptop should have been a MASSIVE jump in speed, gaming and just about everything. My initial few weeks were good. The laptop was quick, but often times slugish and frankly, it froze. Like a lot. So i noticed my SSD was full. I decided, since the laptop allows it, to add a 500gb 2.5" SSD to the slot available. Opening the case was easy enough but MSI does not include a bracket!!! YOU HAVE LITERALLY NO WAY TO MOUNT THE DRIVE. When i contacted support they tried to tell me installing the drive was impossible (its been installed 2 weeks now with 300gb of games on it and been used) and then back peddled and tried to say there as no screws for a bracket. I then sent them the image then they finally told me they dont make a bracket for their laptop??? What kind of logic is that? Have a spot for the drive, screw holes for the bracket but dont actually make the bracket? Insane. If i could i would return the laptop now. Overall extremely dissapointed. I have a laptop with a unsecured drive, that seems to be performing WORSE than a 10 year old laptop which is abysmal to me.
