Description of MSI Pulse GL76 I7 12700H RTX3070
17.3" Thin Bezel FHD, IPS-Level 144Hz, 45% NTSC. Core i7-12700H 6+8Core | 1.7-4.7GHz. NVIDIA GeForce RTX3070 Laptop GPU. 16GB (8G*2) DDR4 3200MHz. 512GB NVMe SSD Gen 4x4.
Pros
- Excellent laptop. Smart, tidy, comfortable. There is quite a lot of free space inside. You can install 2 sticks of memory. In my sample, there is room for a 2.5-inch drive, but the connectors are not soldered (and the controller, most likely). Cools well: does not heat the feet, not very noisy, not super hot.
Cons
- there's no such thing
Pros
- A good laptop, with good hardware, with serial numbers wherever they should be (if there is no model on the site, I was also scared at first, they have it in their store). We were also pleased with the pre-installed drivers (rather marked up with drivers) on the media, this simplifies the installation of Windows by an order of magnitude, I was pleasantly surprised
Cons
- Until I discovered
Pros
- Good gaming laptop
Cons
- Of course, there is not enough operational memory, and it heats up in games, but this issue can be solved, I ordered a cooling pad, I'm waiting for it to arrive
Pros
- Powerful Fast Thin bezels
Cons
- heated Noisy Offline work
Pros
- Performance, screen size, backlight, cool design.
Cons
- Noise when forcibly turning on the fans to the maximum. During games, the left side of the keyboard gets very hot, it is not comfortable to press hot keys.
Pros
- Excellent construction and layout, reasonable cost, and no operating system
Cons
- There are no drivers available for the Mystic Light 1563 keyboard, and the stable release of OpenRGB does not recognize this device.
Pros
- Good assembly, layout, adequate price, no OS
Cons
- There are no drivers for the Mystic Light 1563 keyboard, OpenRgb 0.7(stable) does not know this keyboard.
Pros
- - 17.3 - Excellent iron configuration - Ability to expand the RAM and storage system - Excellent screen: 144 Hz, thin bezels, good color reproduction - All the necessary functions are in place (turning off the camera for example or microphone, etc.) - Well assembled, nowhere backlash and does not rattle. Feels monolithic (even after I took it apart to install the RAM) - Lightweight (considering the config) - Acceptable autonomy - Acceptable price - MSI Center software - you can configure a lot of parameters (- read in shortcomings)
Cons
- The keyboard is backlit with three modes. The modes are switched by pressing the mode button again. The default setting is: 1-bright cerulean blue (pull-and-throw your eyes out). 2 - frequent blinking of orange (you forget why you went to the computer) 3 - Blinking with color change once per beat (same as 2). These modes can be configured in the pre-installed software - MSI Center. The modes are set up perfectly, a very wide range of parameters can be selected, but ! modes saved in this way only work when they are switched in MSI Center. The modes button on the keyboard continues to work with the default modes. Those. when working in the dark, you either need to put up with the presets or run the MSI Center every time to change the mode. I think Windows is to blame for everything, which climbs where it does not need to, but I'm not sure. For me, all this is not very critical, all the same, the modes rarely change in battle, but nevertheless it turns out that I don’t use ondu from the buttons on the keyboard, although I want to :)
Pros
- - Price/configuration ratio. At the moment in the 2022, probably the best - quiet operation under moderate load - The quality of the case and the product in general to the touch. Looks neat when disassembled. - Sufficient number of connectors - the presence of a digital block on the keyboard and normal arrows - multi-color backlighting, indicators built into capslock keys - the ability to independently ate the RAM and disk without losing the warranty - the ability to buy a configuration without an OS, but the presence on the disk of all drivers for Windows, which are installed by pressing one button. OS installation without features and problems. - good screen. Viewing angles are nothing, transitions and gradations are nothing, but you won't fall off your chair. Color rendition is pleasant. - the company is officially present in the 2022 at the moment and gives a guarantee. Accordingly, the keyboard is also 2022 out of the box. - I personally like a fairly strict design, incl. letters on the keyboard, but this is the simplest item and is easy to evaluate in the store. - acceptable weight for 17 inches of both the machine itself and the power supply.
Cons
- - Inability to increase storage. ATTENTION! Despite the fact that many reviews write about installing additional hard drives, this option is not available in all configurations. The photo of the insides presented in another review clearly shows that although the board has places for connecting hdd, the connector itself is not soldered, and where other configurations have a slot for a second M.2 drive, there is a Wi-Fi module. It is recommended to check the availability of additional disks for the selected configuration on the MSI hotline. - Poor keyboard layout. Small number buttons and a strange enter to it, which are not separately home-end pgUp-pgdown (well, at least there is an insert-dilit), the function button is located on the Right !, the shutdown button is not separate, but in a single block with the rest of the keys (on the plus side, it must be held, i. E. accidental clicks are less likely). Well, at least for blind groping there is a mark on the digital keyboard. - subjectively dim screen. Sometimes you want to add more, but already 100%. Although the specifications are not bad 300-330. - Not all the necessary connectors are available. There is no Thunderbolt, there is no memory card slot, I would like 1 more USB. I would also like at least some of the connectors on the back, like competitors. - Dislikes following the rest of the industry: - miserable camera 720 according to the principle to be - bottom cover with latches and screws, i. E. for disassembly, you also need a mediator-card, plus this is not done in the most convenient way (although it is easier than with della and lenovo). Old laptops opened much easier. - there is no DVD and it is not provided, although there is a place for it - I wish the trackpad was bigger. - who cares about Linux, there were no ready-made manuals
Pros
- Outwardly, the optimal combination, rather restrained, but a bias in gaming is visible. There is no ridiculous variegation inherent in supposedly “gaming laptops”, and all kinds of chips, such as dedicated WASD buttons, etc. It’s not a shame to bring it to a meeting, but it doesn’t look like a “typewriter”. Satisfied with this and that, I think. The lid lifts freely with one finger and opens 180, which is a plus. The keyboard is full-fledged, with a numpad, but still something was tricked with the location, while I'm getting used to it. In general, I like it.
Cons
- The sound is excellent in terms of the ratio of low and high frequencies, but the maximum level is low, which is certainly frustrating. Sometimes it is not enough to watch videos and movies if the original recording is quiet. To listen to music more or less enough. And everything would be fine, but a purely technical problem was discovered, at high frequencies (or even at the peaks of the sound track) at maximum volume and above average, the sound from the speakers resonates with something and causes vibrations and hoarseness. It's just disgusting. In general, they saved on sound, in my opinion, despite pathos statements. Perhaps the reason is in the assembly, I do not know.
