Review on MSI GL65 Gaming Laptop 10SCXK 211 by Gabriel Elliott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not what he says.

Listed as (10SCXK-211), this laptop may seem like a good deal and is still a decent laptop in the end, but its specs aren't accurate. The listing title and description lists 2 different GPUs as 1650 Ti and later as 1660 Ti, neither of which it is. In fact, this is a standard 1650 NON-Ti mobile phone. It doesn't matter now, but it's a step down in the performance of the most expensive component in a machine (the GPU in 2021). And now the biggest disappointment; The title and description say the laptop has a 1080p 144Hz display, but it's really just a cheap 60Hz panel with terrible viewing angles and minimal brightness, and yes I've made sure it's not a driver issue or no settings is. before realizing that not even the sticker on the spec box mentioned 144hz. This feature adds the most value to a "gaming" laptop after a GPU. Still a decent laptop given those things and I have other uses for it so I went ahead and ordered another top gaming laptop from Revain and contacted Amazon. Support keeping this if they can compensate me for misrepresenting the specs and at least fix the specs on the Revain list. They originally offered a $10 discount but then offered $15 which I reluctantly accepted as I didn't want to return it and I had already spent hours setting it up and updating it and then figuring out why I didn't have 144hz could get for work and decided I would just give it to a family member. Revain should understand the difference in the cost of these skewed features and offer more than $15 for the difference, although I had the option to return it instead. Designation. There is very little information on the web about this specific model number, but the actual specs are closer to the MSI model number: 10SCXK-066 which you can find information about on the MSI website and the only difference between this is 066 and this one one. is that the 066 has an additional 1TB hard drive. To all potential buyers considering this laptop, I suggest you look for a better deal.
