Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert

  • You can play medium demanding games at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD with the RTX 4050 video card, the i7 processor, and 16GB RAM.
  • The 144Hz screen shows fast-moving images smoothly, which is useful for fast shooters.
  • Set your favorite colors on the RGB backlit keyboard with 4 adjustable zones, so that you can continue gaming in the dark in style.
  • Due to the large 17-inch size and the weight of 2.6kg, it's not as easy to take this laptop with you in your backpack or laptop bag.
  • To play demanding games, we recommend at least an RTX 4070 or RX 6700 video card.

Powerful and fast

  • Super fast
  • Quiet
  • Very suitable for music production
  • Irritating transparent keys W, A, S and D (Probably related to gaming)

This is my 2nd MSI laptop and it replaces my MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro. The latter (8 1/2 years old) still functions fine, which is why I opted for an MSI again. (See also below; comparison with other laptops) The only problem with my old MSI is that it has an SSD C partition and a spinning D drive. Because I mainly use the laptop for producing music, I ran out of space on the C drive, which made it overcrowded and I could no longer install new programs. (It was also possible to use D, but C was still too full). The full 1 TB C drive on this new one naturally works very quickly and the laptop is also whisper quiet, which of course also helps a lot when recording vocals, and especially acoustic guitar. I find the transparent keys for the letters w, a, s and d quite annoying. With the nice backlight feature of the keys (can be set in many ways), these letters are more difficult to see. This probably has to do with the fact that it is a gaming laptop. Since I am not a gaming junkie, this is only difficult in my case, but I get used to it now... Actually, I can't say much about the battery life and robustness yet, so the credits for this come from my current similar MSI, which has lasted effortlessly for 8 1/2 years and still works fine. Comparison with other laptops: My former Dell had to be scrapped within 5 years because the graphics card suddenly broke down. And on my wife's HP, the batteries failed completely within 4 years and the fan makes the sound of a leaf blower. So in my experience the MSI's are of better quality.

Great Laptop

  • Sleek design
  • Nice and fast and does not get hot
  • Nice display
  • Keyboard has low keys and is very sensitive. Almost had to learn to type again.

Very pleasant for me as a business user. Been using for 2 weeks now. Replaces an old PC that has been written off.
