Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased this MSI computer and, honestly, I'm very happy with it. It's an excellent choice. It has high-quality internal components, a powerful processor, plenty of RAM, and a graphics card that easily handles everything I need. The materials used also pleasantly surprised me. It's sturdy, well-built, and has an attractive design. There's nothing cheap or flimsy about it. As for performance, games run incredibly well. I've tried several demanding games, and they all run smoothly, without stuttering or frame rate drops. This is a computer that truly offers excellent value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, reliable, and affordable system.

Very nice computer, PLUS the workers are always a great help, not to mention professional. I am so so happy with my laptop. It runs smoothly, I’m in love with the keyboards, etc etc.

This is an excellent mid level laptop. Our son is enjoying it a lot. The usb c display port is very convenient for connecting 2 monitors using daisy chain option. Very happy with the purchase.

Bought this for the great specs at a great price point, but ultimately the cons outweighed that pro and I had to return this. I primarily use a gaming laptop to hook up to various TVs around my house or on trips for mobile gaming. The cooling fans are so loud that I can barely hear the game above them, and had to raise the volume of my TV substantially. You are able to set the max fan speeds to a lower level, but when I did this, nothing seemed to happen. They were just loud, no matter what setting I tried. I downloaded and played Red Dead Redemption 2, and it was unplayable because it would freeze-lag for 1-2 seconds at a time randomly, and when I got into a more intense gunfight, the game crashed completely to desktop. I lowered the graphics settings to almost the minimum and it still lagged. I spent hours trying to troubleshoot why this this laptop that was great on paper would struggle with a 2018 game. I couldn't fathom why there wasn't a silly, software or driver-based reason and solution for this. But nothing I tried worked. I ultimately decided that, whether these problems were fixable or not, it wasn't acceptable to need to spend hours scouring forums trying solutions to fix serious performance issues to even make the laptop usable. I ultimately returned this to Best Buy after a few days. I'm still giving 3 stars mainly because I suspect that I got a lemon. My time on help forums showed me that most people were able to fix their issues or had no issues at all out of the box. I unfortunately was not one of those people.

It’s not a bad computer, I would recommend upgrades to 32gb but other then that it’s a great laptop, if we could increase the power this laptop could out perform a 5080 desktop.

I picked this up open box at my local store. The condition was "Open Box Good". The laptop was in excellent condition. It was marked "Good" and not excellent because there was no documentation. Missing documentation didn't bother me at all, as this machine still had the original box and the charger. I added a second NVME SSD, upgraded the RAM to 32 GB and upgraded to Windows 11 Pro. At retail price, I would not recommend, because even though it's still lower in cost than comparable laptops, it's still expensive. However, if available as "Open Box" at a local store and you're able to go and see the machine, boot it and make sure it works as intended, it is an absolute value in an open box state. The reason for this is there are variants of this machine with similar specs that are equipped with a 240 Hz OLED display. I use this laptop for web browsing, online training courses and light gaming. Recommendation: if possible, elevate the rear of the laptop, so the fans can get the proper amount of air. Otherwise, the fans will make a strange humming noise. It annoyed me at first, but once I elevated the rear of the machine, the humming of the fans when gaming stopped.

Plays everything I throw at it at high/ultra while usually staying well above 100fps. Got a nice cooling pad for it as the GPU side of the laptop can get rather warm. Haven't experienced thermal throttling. Fan volume is ok considering what's being asked of it for heat disposition, they usually don't run at 100%. Sound quality is pretty nice. Added a second 2280 SSD, which was pretty easy to install.

Purchased this laptop because of the GPU and its price point. Look and feel is satisfactory. The raised bumps on the bottom keep it up and breathing when on a table. Metal cover on display makes the screen stiff and not flex when opening thr laptop. Good feel and rigity. I like the placement of the ports. HDMI, ethernet and power on the back. USB and 3.5mm audio jack on the sides. Wish it has a couple USBs on the back as well. Over all I use it for CS2 and other titles that can use a "good" bit of resources. Things this laptop lacks is 1 - RAM (64GB 5200Mhz $150), 2 - storage (it has 2 slots so good to get another stick), and 3 - screen (lack luster but does a fair job, 16" NE160QDM-NM4 is a possible upgrade, do your own research). In all, I am going to update all 3 which will cost $390 over time. No issues with performance at this point. I dont like MSI's AI cobtrol panel and keyboard lighting control is very limited. Conclusion: good laptop for the price and is upgradable for better performance. Would like better asthetics/gamer controls. Would recommend to others that want good HW longevity and have ability to make upgrades for enhanced performance/user experience.

Runs pretty well and the graphics are smooth, it gets the job done for tje most part but although sometimes it over heats commonly and battery does pretty quickly.

Theres only one negative about this laptop and thats the screen. The FHD screen on a laptop this powerful is very upsetting. This laptop can run every game you throw at it with 2k resolution and above no issue, I get 250 frames and above on battlefield 6, arc raiders and doom, and everything you can name. I use dlss as well with no latency. Build quality is top of the line! Id recommend this to anyone and anybody. This review stays at 5 stars because I knew what I was getting before purchasing.

Running smoothly at high speed.Looking forward to a better screen and larger RAM capacity

This device is a good value for the performance it provides. I like ability to upgrade memory and drives. With a bit of finagling you are able to install a dual boot system. For me Ubuntu 25.04 and Win 11. This laptop was replacement for an Asus TUF F15 that failed at about two years.

Great upgrade! The performance is excellent. The 5070ti is worth the price compared to any of the other options from the 50-series lineup. The screen and the annoying back panel are the only downsides, but they do not detract from the experience.

Im a big gamer so this laptop is definitely the right one for me. Its run the 007 game with no problems at Max settings, i love the laptop's design, the light up keyboard, and the display looks great. That RTX 5070 TI destroy the RTX 3070 i had in my old laptop.

This model is such a good combination of an excellent graphics card with other components that aren't needlessly expensive. With this laptop, you're not wasting your money on an overpowered CPU that doesn't make much difference. My primary use for this has been for AI development projects. Some demand at least 8gb of VRAM, and the 12gb NVIDIA 5070 Ti has been great for this. It's hard to find a laptop with such a great GPU for anything close to this price. I'd recommend upgrading the RAM to at least 32GB (the included 16GB RAM with a 12GB graphics card is an odd combo), but that's easy and inexpensive.

The laptop has incredible performance, and some of the inside can be upgraded, which is a huge plus. The big downside to this machine is 2 things, the battery and the display. On average with simple browsing, it will only last me a little under 2 hours. The display is 1920 x 1200 and in my opinion, is far behind the competition. It's only 144Hz, unlike what the photo says. Mine also already has a DEAD PIXEL the moment I opened it up. The pixel remains a bright blue anytime my screen goes black. This is unacceptable for 2000 dollar laptop.

The RTX 5070 Ti to me is the best price : performance gpu. This MSI is the Best price for a notebook with RTX 5070 Ti. While the screen is lackluster but I at home I connect it to 55 inch OLED tv and it's awesome. The body is bulky and the keyboard design is weird. Still it's the best value on 5070 Ti alone. If you have a little more budget, Asus could be a better choice IMHO.

It plays any game I've put on it mostly with max graphics. Keep it plugged in while gaming and get a cooler for it, but that's too be expected.

Fantastic Computer for everything I need it for, and Best Buy had to best price! Ironically it went on sale a few days after I bought it and Best Buy made it easy and quick to inform them and get the amount credited to me. I was already very pleased, but this just added icing on top. Thank you Best Buy!!

Screen could be better, the refresh rate is too low for what's under the hood, but overall it's a good laptop .
