Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the MSI Thin 15 15.6" 144Hz FHD Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i5-13420H, 16GB RAM, RTX 4050, 512GB SSD) from Best Buy, and I’ve been very impressed. The performance is outstanding for the price — it runs modern games smoothly, and the 144Hz display makes a noticeable difference in responsiveness and overall visual quality. The laptop is lightweight and well-designed for a gaming machine. It stays cool under load and handles multitasking with no lag. Boot times and app launches are lightning fast thanks to the SSD and solid hardware. Overall, this is a great choice for gamers or anyone who needs a fast, reliable laptop for demanding tasks. Highly recommended for its performance, value, and build quality.

This Laptop is amazing! I have recently been playing games that require 4gb vram and sometimes 6 (which exceeds the 4050) however it runs pretty darn smooth Only problem is, please do not play latest games on this Laptop, you will deal with; over heating/battery-depletion “within an HOUR” and possibly laggy gameplay “depending on your settings” games i play are: terraria/minecraft/sims and some 2020 releases “which is pretty lightweight compared to cyberpunk or gta five” I also love the performance of productivity! I can:browse/create/program with almost no problems! Highly recommend buying on sale. If it is 899$ buy a macbook for productivity, and if you are gaming, stick with a console.

The MS has had impressive performance for its price. I’ve been playing GTA V, Call of Duty, and other demanding games on it at 1080p with high settings, and it plays really well. The RTX 4050 GPU and 144Hz screen make games smooth and responsive. It boots fast, and load games quickly and runs cool also. Battery life is average, and the speakers aren’t the loudest, but that’s expected for this kind of slim gaming machine. For under $900, you get solid build quality, a clean display, and enough power for gaming, school, and multitasking.

The MSI Thin 15.6" is a solid laptop for gaming and everyday use. It has a sleek, lightweight design, making it easy to carry, and the performance is smooth for most games. The display is bright and clear, and the build quality feels decent for the price. However, some of the audio drivers stopped working, so I’m down to one, though I can still hear fine. Besides that issue, everything else runs great, and it handles tasks well without major problems. It’s a good choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly gaming laptop with decent performance.

I got this laptop when it was on sale for $599. It is absolutely worth it at this price range. So far its been able to play all the games I’ve thrown at it and it doesn’t slow down. There is a bad thing and that’s that it has only one fan. I plan to use an external fan cooler so no issues for me. I also plan to upgrade the RAM and add more storage, probably a 4TB SATA SSD drive. Overall very happy and love the metallic finish.

This works very good for my Sims 2,3 and 4 games, A must have for Sims 4 gaming. But never said can use internal camera for facial regintion for login to Win Hello.

Works perfectly for regular works. I haven't tried any games on it so far but using it for your school/college or work is perfect. It isn't too heavy as other gaming laptops. I ran some heavy coding IDEs and it handled them smoothly.

I recently purchased an MSI laptop, and I have to say, it has exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed with its sleek and modern design. The build quality feels premium, and it's incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry around for both work and play. Performance-wise, the laptop is an absolute beast! Powered by a high-end processor and a dedicated GPU, it handles everything from heavy multitasking to gaming with ease. Whether I'm working on resource-intensive software or enjoying the latest video games, the MSI laptop delivers smooth and seamless performance without any lag or overheating. The display is another standout feature. The vibrant colors and sharp details on the screen are a joy to look at, whether I'm editing photos or watching movies. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the backlighting is a nice touch for those late-night sessions. Battery life is impressive as well, allowing me to work on the go for hours without needing to recharge. Plus, the cooling system does an excellent job of keeping things quiet and cool, even under heavy load. Overall, the MSI laptop offers incredible value for its price, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, reliable, and stylish laptop. Whether you're a gamer, content creator, or professional, this laptop is sure to impress!

Overall, a really solid laptop. Battery life will not be its strong point, but if you plan on gaming a lot, you would have it plugged in anyway for the best performance. The screen is awesome, the speakers are awesome, the performance is fantastic, and the cooling is really good too! Especially when compared to my old HP Pavilion Gaming 15 which always hit 99°C. Pair this with a good laptop cooler with a foam seal and I can guarantee temps never even reach 80°C.

Perfect for busy accountant who opens massive spreadsheets, databases, and uses multiple monitors. Battery doesn't last long, but really doesn't matter as gamers and office workers typically plug in for hours.

I'm super shocked and super impressed at the same time with this laptop. I thought it was another cheap made gaming laptop that is only good in paper. It's price is unbeatable for the value you get. i5-13420H with Nvidia RTX 4050. I am getting consistent 50fps on AAA games in Max or Ultra Settings. Way to go MSI. Will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

I got this laptop mainly for gaming while traveling, and it’s been absolutely perfect for that. It’s slim and light enough to fit easily in my bag, but still packs enough power to handle everything I throw at it — from fast-paced shooters to more demanding games. The screen looks great, it runs quietly, and honestly, for the performance it gives, the price was a steal. I’ve been really happy with it so far — it’s exactly what I was looking for: portable, powerful, and affordable.

I am really pleased with this laptop! It plays all the games I want it to (Arma 3, beamNG Drive, The Isle, and tons more in my steam library) and it plays them even better then I anticipated initially. A lot of games I can play on very high to ultra settings with frame rates anywhere from 70fps to 140fps, rarely ever does it drop. The keyboard feels good and keys are pretty quiet, I like the function keys including the fan max key, super easy way to just crank the cooling up from the fan if I'm playing some graphically heavy games for long periods. My only real complaint with the Thin 15 is battery life, you can stretch it a little better by dimming your screen and cutting off the keyboard lights but it definitely drains faster than I'd like, though I usually use it at home anyways and simply plug it in if I'm gonna be playing for more than an hour or two that day. All in all I'm so glad I went with this one and I'd happily recommend it

So far, this is a great computer for my 13 year old son. It is a bit bulkier than other thin laptops, but performance seems to be really good. And, as I've seen others mention, the fan can get loud after using it for a while. But, we're thinking of getting a cooling pad, which isn't terribly pricey

Perfect for a secondary gaming PC, or even a main laptop gaming for travels. Good price for what it offers. It doesn't heat too much and is easiear to transport than others in same category.

Great laptop , strong , precise , light weight , all in all great .

Wow holy crap this is the best thing I could've done with my money genuinely. This laptop's my baby now. I can now play GTA while hosting my friends' huge minecraft server and watch youtube videos all at the same time. Battery could be better but just use it on the charger when you're doing something intense. It seems like it was supposed to be used that way anyways, cuz the battery life's a lot better if I'm not using the 4050.

Very good laptop can run any game even big games, it is surprisingly light and you can adjust anything to your liking, although the camera leaves something to be desired it has an incredible screen recommended for work or even to play for a while

Works very well for the price and runs basic games very well only issue is the battery life but that is expected with these gaming laptops

A great laptop for lower End game's, If you're trying to get it for any FiveM stuff, Get a PC. But for Minecraft It'll ran but you'd need a lot more of ram for Minecraft, depending on the mods.
