Type of review

Different pros: fast delivery, excellent performance excellent combination of weight and dimensions. Has some cons: For good performance in a small case, you will have to pay with noise during games, the cooler makes a lot of noise, it blows out like an oven, so I recommend using it with a cooling pad.

Affordable gaming laptop

Delivered with care, packed in Revain boxes, undamaged Good: Fast, powerful, high frame rate in game, on highest settings. One USB-C port, HDMI, 3 USB ports. Bad: Sometimes there is a lot of noise, I think due to game demands or high performance, but not too bad. The battery life isn't impressive, but I use it as a desktop replacement. Ugly: No gaming mouse or headset included, you can of course buy them separately. I bought another MSI laptop for less money and all inclusive. Conclusion…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Faulty cooling system requiring a copper pad

Aside from the 80W 3070 switch that MSI foisted on us, my particular laptop had a faulty cooling system. The copper plate that runs over the processor die only touches 20% on the left. The right side is tilted all the way up. To facilitate this I placed a 20mm x 20mm x 1mm copper spacer between the CPU die and the copper cold plate. Now it's in full contact, but the cooling is still not very good. Even with -65mV undervoltage and a thermal pad, I wasn't able to maintain the full clock speed of…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Almost never

Has an 85W RTX 3070 instead of 130W as listed on datasheet

3070W 130W. I spoke to MSI support and the current theory is that there is a typo in the spec. I will be returning this and replacing it with a laptop with a more powerful 3070. Edit: MSI corrected the spec and now lists a maximum power of 85W for the 3070. Aside from the confusion surrounding maximum GPU performance, the build quality of the laptop is decent. if not good. The keyboard is comfortable enough for typing and the backlit keys look nice. The screen is nothing special, but…

Games 4k - EDITED slow computer

Delivery - 5/5 - Arrived in a week without Prime. Excellent Speed Packaging - 3/5 - Revain, why did you ship without packaging? Meh, I think it's ok. Price - 5/5 - one of the best prices but this is a budget build. Although for a 3070 that doesn't hold back much, it tops the list for me! Size - 5/5 - great compared to my old 4 year old Sager who I'm upgrading from. So compact! Other points: Not 17 inches. but my tv is bigger so who cares? HDMI is on the side, unlike my Sager4k Gaming - 5/5…

  • Quick replacement

Great update!: Computers and tablets

It's smaller than the previous one so it fits on my cooling board. I like that the keyboard can change color. The screen doesn't glare, which is nice. There has never been a laptop without glare. My games look amazing, it's almost like starting a new game. Haven't done much with it yet, but it's worth the money. Very glad I didn't go with the other laptops I was looking at. This is by far the best I've ever had. I love how loud it can be. I can't hear any games or shows on my newest laptop…

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • This makes me angry
