Review on MSI Laptop with Intel Core i7, 16GB LPDDR4X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Max-Q, 1TB SSD, Windows 11 Home by Wiktor Krzysztof Kor ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

Probably, the laptop would be good, but the cooling system spoils everything. First, the fans NEVER turn off, even under the lightest load. Secondly, the built-in video card is just for show, because. it was worth launching the third Witcher, for example - and the laptop just gets hot and the fans just start SHOUTING. In such conditions, you begin to worry about the safety of the filling, and it is impossible to use a laptop for more than 10 minutes. Thirdly, a shortcoming was discovered almost immediately - in a quiet mode, some kind of constant rattling of coolers and vibration in the case to such an extent that typing on a laptop and holding it on your knees became simply unpleasant. Moreover, this rattling was greatly amplified on the table, and disappeared if the laptop was tilted (but then some kind of low-frequency rumble was added). That is, there is a defect in the fan bearing and normal operation in such conditions was out of the question. In the end, I decided to return the laptop to the store. Two weeks later, the defect was confirmed and a refund was issued. So I recommend taking a laptop only with a guarantee and carefully checking it.

Pros
  • -Very good screen (although not 100% SRGB, but close). Not a single light was noticed, which is a rarity for IPS - Enough powerful stuffing, 1Tb SSD and pre-installed Windows - Lots of ports -In general, the case is assembled monolithically, nothing backlash - The presence of a fingerprint sensor and an infrared camera -The laptop opens 180 degrees, which is sometimes useful - The sound from the speakers seems to be normal, but I did not listen much -Ability to install a second SSD
Cons
  • - The biggest disadvantage is the absolutely stupid design of the cooling system - blowing hot air goes straight to the matrix in the screen. One can only guess about the durability of the screen in such conditions. Plus, it can not cope with heat removal from a sufficiently hot processor and video card. (see below for details) - The keyboard seemed a bit loose and of poor quality -Extremely bad camera, apparently from the beginning of the 2022s. - In order to gain access to the internals of the laptop, you need to remove the factory seal on one of the screws. -Perhaps there was a marriage.
