For the people who just bought this laptop dw it's not bad at all. This laptop is so good and run perfectly smooth, it does have 1 fan but it still keeps the core cool, it doesn't have lot of storage but ssd card will sort it out. Over all it is perfect low budget laptop

I have to keep it plugged in when playing sims 4 but if I'm just browsing online the battery lasts ages so I would say that's a game issue rather than a laptop issue. It gets pretty warm and fan is fairly loud when gaming, but no more than any other laptop. I would buy again.

[@thesupergamer5894]

I managed to get this on sale (using it to watch this video lol) for $700. Since I was able to save $300 I bought a 2tb nvme ssd, nvme external enclosure, and 32gb (2x16) ddr5 ram. I used the enclosure to clone the 512gb drive to the 2tb drive and swap them out (now use the 512gb as an external drive). I actually picked it up before heading to my class, and ended up doing these upgrades in the university library. So with my previous 5tb external hard drive (seagate one touch), the 512gb external nvme drive, and the internal 2tb nvme, I got storage for days. (games are stored on all three, just depends how demanding the game is for where I install it). But between some coding, school work, and gaming, I am extremely happy with they laptop so far... especially since I got it on sale. (edit: I absolutely loved this video, got yourself a new subscriber)

[@johnnymardelly1179]

where did you get it on sale ?

[@thesupergamer5894]

@johnnymardelly1179 Best Buy was having a three day sale thing, but they have random sales occasionally, so it probably wouldn't be too hard to replicate (also sorry I didn't see you're reply till now)

Hey Bro, after 9 months, do you still have it? I'm planning on buying this in 1 week?

[@thesupergamer5894]

@forthemillionsyetuntold5988 I sure do, and it works great! Like I said 9 months ago, I did upgrade the RAM and Storage, but those are relatively easy upgrades, and you can find videos online how to do that. However, it only has one m.2 port, so if you plan on upgrading the storage yourself, you'll need an external m.2 case so you can copy the original drive to the new drive but that wasn't too complicated either (and again there are many videos explaining how to do this)

[@forthemillionsyetuntold5988]

Hi! I am thinking buying one but for vegas pro 19 video editing, some photoshop.. is a i5 enough or should i go for the i7 version? I want it playback smooth…

[@KevinEvangelista]

Oh, I'm definitely recommending the i7 version, and you're going to have to bump up the RAM to 16GB. That'll make for a great mid-level editing machine that will serve you well for a few years. Hope this helps!

[@msmaug644]

Heres my honest review: I have been using this laptop for over a year at this point, and overall, I can definitely say that it was worth it. I purchased it for around $850; specs were 512gb storage, Intel 12th gen i5 8 core CPU, 8gb RAM, and a Nvidia 4050. I ended up purchasing a 2tb SSD and upgrading the memory to 32gb for around an extra $150, totaling my current build to $1000. It doesn't take any experience to install the SSD nor RAM, however you will need to reinstall or port over windows onto the new SSD. The battery is pretty much useless, but it is portable enough that I can carry both the laptop and charger in a schoolbag. The core tends to max out in most high-end games, and the fan will need to be at max speeds (which can be a little loud) when running RTX. Screen is dimmer than most, but still has high resolution and great colors. I use a headset, but the microphone on the laptop is pretty good unless you have a dedicated microphone setup. Overall, it is a great deal in terms of cost.

I feel like people who review this laptop are just laptop elitists. For anyone who has purchased this laptop and has now seen some bad reviews. FOR THE PRICE, this laptop is incredible. Is it top tier? No. Not at all, but its not top tier price. I don't like the word cheap, I prefer to use value for money, because that is what this laptop is. It will do what is asked of it, not as good as other laptops, but enough for it to not matter. If youre on a budget and this laptop is what you found, congratulations, cos you found a gem. Edit - since you hearted this comment, I read back through it and I think it sounds like I’m putting you in that “Laptop elitist” role. I’m definitely not! Your review was the best one I’ve seen, you gave it a fair judgement and did an excellent job 👍

Yeah, it's going to be good for coding! For gaming though, it depends-- if you play more of AAA games, you might have to tone down some settings and turn on DLSS to get some good framerates. But if you're more into esports titles like Valorant, CSGO / CS2, Fortnite, Rocket League-- you're all good. It's an easy-to-carry laptop that isn't too hot nor too loud. Plus it looks really good.

Hello! This was something that I wanted to check in this full review too, unfortunately I wasn't given permission by MSI to open up the laptop to check. Normally on retail units I didn't need to ask permission, but this was an engineering unit, so there were some things inside that was slightly different from retail. But from my experience, it had a better hinge than the GF66 Katana-- it was smoother and much more stable. I don't know if it's going to stay that way in the long run, but it's a good sign!

[@gera3411]

No one takes into account and does not disclose the temperatures of MSI laptops. Yes, the temperature of laptops is higher than that of PCs - but in MSI laptops they are really big: CPU 90 degrees, GPU 75-80. This is with a reduced heat output to 75W GPU. So if you want to get an MSI laptop for a short time, it will last you a maximum of a year or less P.S. Having only one fan in a ‘Gaming Laptop’ is absolutely ridiculous. Who even buys these laptops from MSI?

It is also nice that it has an RTX4060, I was in favor of it, but it bothers me that the graphics card is 45 Watts and has a single fan. On the other hand, Asus 140 watts is fine, but RTX 4050 and AMD, graphics card 6 GB, 8 RAM, and 512 GB SSD (of course, these can be increased in the future). That's why I want a laptop that won't upset me too much, which one should I choose in general?

[@ianjones605]

I would hold out for a 4060 in a better laptop.

[@DeAntiguanDoll]

it is possible to change the backlight color on keyboard?

[@heyouguys_9056]

I was wondering the same thing

[@dieaking6475]

16gb Ram and Resize bar makes a huge diff in preformance im getting way better fps now than most reviews.

[@sashaangrindarc]

hey, hows the fan of the laptop?, is it noisy or we cant hear it at all?

[@treybeckham2222]

​@@sashaangrindarc Fan isnt too bad, when i first got it, it was pretty loud, after a few updates it seemed to quiet down a bit, still noticable but definitely bearable

[@holly9464]

Hi, I hope it's okay to ask, could you please add a warning for the flashing lights in this video please? Thank you so much!

[@JintySteam1]

Is it possible to swap the hard drive in this laptop?

[@matthijsroeda]

Yes.

[@hambooger6127]

Clean and slick review. keep it up

[@FirstnameLastName-sx8ls]

Just got this for $750. $699 Best By. I just want edit video and do school. What do you think? How hard and expensive to upgrade ram? I got 8gb, how high can i go? It has the i5.

[@iimspideyi9530]

Would I be able to use it as a PC for streaming on twitch/kick?

[@sm71485]

How good is this laptop for 3D animation (blender) and video editing (after effects and davinci resolve)? Also, why is the TDP so much under the machine's capability? Does this apply to all laptops? What if I switch that power brick with one that can provide more wattage? Btw amazing review.

[@aqilardi5266]

Its a hard limit, changing power brick wont help

[@sunshhine6940]

You buy it? I make videos too. And wanna play some games)

[@diddi472]

does anyone got the answers

[@aqilardi5266]

@@sunshhine6940 its not worth it, you can get some 3060s with higher tdp that'll probably be better than this or spend a little more for a 4060 with higher tdp

[@sm71485]

​@@sunshhine6940I might buy this model due to some financial issues. I had plans of getting something better, but sadly some bad stuff happened in life...

[@Hikkyt]

Can I ask a review if its okay with the lumion or autocad I'm planning to buy this laptop and idk if it's good

[@KevinEvangelista]

Hello! I would love to, but unfortunately I've already sent back the unit to MSI. 😥

[@Ishicoatl]

I would argue "ports are on the wrong side", thanks for showing the insides; a single m.2 slot is what I wanted to know

[@KevinEvangelista]

Agree! I mentioned the ports being on the wrong side in my unboxing video! Gotta clear up that right side for the mousing hand, my mans

[@dieaking6475]

Enable Resize bar the proper way on this laptop. Also should be enabled in Nvidea Profile Inspector.

[@jimyasserambang9449]

Is it upgradable to 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD?

[@OhDuNhiOi]

I been debating getting the MSI cyborg vs the MSI katana for my travel laptop. Can't decide!

[@KingdomWalk-vt4kc]

amazing review THANK YOU! i got a victus and couldnt handle the heating whine. i had never even heard that term before but it was UNBEARABLE. returning it ang getting this as it is on sale. thanks again bro. solid solid solid. also got this victus after exchanging an asus tuff because HEAT RELEASES ON THE MOUSE HAND???? what is that even! insane. anyway. God bless.

[@life_in_gen]

I wish the battery can be upgraded? Cause 2-3 hours battery life. Seems very short...

[@strawberrycow2699]

My biggest question is can it run overwatch/ genshin impact/ Minecraft/ sims 4 😭 I’m struggling to find a laptop in budget and I’ve been eyeing this one.. I’m terrible with anything electronics (144Hz FHD IPS Display, 10-Core Intel Core i7-12650H, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4060, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD) on top of it with high graphics?

[@MegaLoquendo2000]

It should run all those games just fine, though you might find another laptop in the same price range that has a higher power limit for both the cpu and gpu, the 45W limit for the 4060 in this cyborg makes it lose around 35% performance in games. Though with the games you play you'll get pretty decent frame rates.

[@AlanSmith555]

Can I eventually change the color of the leds?

[@miguelsarriazapata461]

How does the battery performs at this laptop? Does it last long enough when doing normal tasks (not playing games). Anybody could give real data?

[@zxckx101]

Yes it will last like 6hrs because of its low energy consumption

[@legendgod]

Can the usb-c work as display port?

[@Awakzn]

Could someone please clarify whether a regular SSD card will fit in my system, or do I need an M.2 SSD? I have $300.

[@johnf.kennedy3423]

I've seen a guy said he changed his to a 4tb m2 ssd

[@TheUniversalRocker]

Anyone can comment on the single fan setup? Is there any thermal throttling and do the temps get to 90c above for cpu and gpu?

[@chik007]

is this good for AutoCad, Sketchup, Vray rendering? Thanks!

[@bricknerdz2561]

Yes

[@sergiomtz7315]

Right now Costco has it on sale for $799

[@titobeard]

Hi. I just bought this one just now. Came across wid your review. I added additional 8gg ram to make it 16. And the ssd is 512 , tho it has only 1 slot.

[@dieaking6475]

Yeah just get 2 til 4tb ssds and your good.

[@titoduduy]

How was it now?

[@titobeard]

@@titoduduysmooth

[@sashaangrindarc]

is the fan loud?

[@zyadhadrami941]

Is this good enough for video editing?

[@KevinEvangelista]

Oh, definitely. In fact, I edited its own review video on it-- 4K cinemascope resolution, with all the effects, and it performed pretty okay!

[@zyadhadrami941]

Thanks@@KevinEvangelista for your response

[@mironshohahtamov1760]

but i saw and compare with hp victus 16 . at the result hp victus 16 was better(i7 12700h, rtx3060, 16gb ddr5 and 512 nvme m2 ssd gen 4). cost of hp victus is actually 1000$

[@jafetvelasquez]

Would you recommend this for AI training? The other option I have is an Acer Nitro 5 with RTX 3070ti + Ryzen 7 6800H. I'd also like to know if it could be connected to an ultrawide 144hz monitor?

[@justmindingmyown]

Thank you, decent review...subbed :)

[@ianlee1305]

Hi Kevin, question. Are you able to change the colors of the keyboard?

[@erykgabara]

If you would want to upgrade RAM would you have to unplug the battery?

[@KevinEvangelista]

No, but you have to turn off the entire system and unplug the Charger.

[@erykgabara]

@@KevinEvangelista Thanks

[@JudeColosoJacinto]

Very informative, kuya thank you
