Hey everyone, jumping in on this review. I just wanted to share my experience with the MSI Sword 15 A12UCX because I'm having freezing issues while gaming (Valorant and Assassin's Creed Valhalla) too. Here's what happened to me: Bought the laptop and got freezing on the second day of playing. Thought it was a fluke, but it's happening more frequently now (over 5 times). Took it back to the store: First, they did a clean format (reinstall of Windows). No change. Then, they swapped my 2x 8GB RAM for a single 16GB RAM. Still froze. Finally, they sent it to MSI for repairs, which will take 2-3 weeks. My concern is similar to yours - will they just fix it and send it back, or will I get a replacement? Honestly, a repaired laptop wouldn't give me much peace of mind. If anyone else has had similar experiences with this model or gotten a replacement, please chime in!

Thanks to your videos I came to the conclusion on which laptop to buy between G15 and MSI Sword, and I’m def buying this one. I need my HDD space lol

[@FriedIce3]

cool video, got my computer around march upgraded recently from 8GB RAM to 32GB and 512GB to 2TB for storage nvme ssd (note that if you want to transfer the windows os always check your ssd manual, they'll provide a transfer manager for free and it's easy to use (my dumb ass spent a week looking online on how to tranfer it)) although i did not know about the sata ssd, i'll give it a check on my computer later, thanks for the video

[@FriedIce3]

also keep track of your screws and make sure to use the right screw bit size, recently lost one screw and had to buy a whole 350 piece set of amazon dirt cheap but could have been easily preventable, i used a small food container for sauce with lid and still lost a shell screw

[@soulvynthis334]

Do you have a NMVe or Ram you’d recommend? I’m relatively behind on computers and looking for something dependable and affordable

[@FriedIce3]

[@soulvynthis334]

Can you please do a video on how to install sata ssd on this laptop? Mine didn't come with a mounting bracket.

[@olddadagamer]

It doesn't need a mounting bracket. It goes underneath the black cover.

[@kshitiz6699]

Are there any battery upgrade options available for this particular model?

[@munozjordan70]

why does my sword15 dont have the 2.5inch thing to plug it in. its just holes there but no black piece like i see here in this video.

[@SergioSergio12345]

Weirdly enough it seems not all models of this laptop come with the SATA connectors, mine didn't and the removable rubber piece has been replaced by four plastic support things.

Is the MSI Sword 15 A12 series the same? On your website it says it has only 1 slot for SSD available, but the MSI website says it has 2, I just want to know if it still support HDD, or where exactly is the other slot

Will opening the Factory Seal screw void the warranty?

[@alphawlff]

Yes

[@MaDdEnIsT]

NO! MSI has stated that your warranty is NOT voided if you upgrade the memory/ram. However if you break anything during the upgrade. It will not be covered
