Pros and cons
According to our laptop expert
- Play demanding games at 60 fps and stream gameplay in 4K with the RTX 4080 video card, the i9 processor, and 32GB RAM.
- The 240Hz WQXGA screen shows sharp images and displays fast movements smoothly, which allows you to game on a higher level.
- You can give every key on the RGB backlit keyboard a different color, so the most important keys stand out even more.
- Due to the large 17-inch size and the weight of 3kg, this laptop isn't as easy to take with you in your backpack or laptop bag.

Good laptop but with manual
- Nice screen
- Fast
- USB-A is on the right
Great machine with good performance. Gaming with the best graphics settings is possible. Unfortunately, the standard USB connection is on the right, which is inconvenient if you also have your (wired) mouse on the right. (Wireless with Bluetooth or small dongle probably not an issue) In addition, there is a headphone connection on the left and a power supply at the back, so there are cables protruding from the machine on 3 sides. Out of the box, the fan makes a lot of noise, even at low loads Fortunately, this can be solved by choosing the 'Extreme Performance' profile in the included MSI Center. You can edit this profile and adjust the fan settings. The trick is to always run the GPU fan at relatively low speeds, since the heatsinks of both fans go over the CPU, you can also set the CPU fan (which makes a lot of noise by default) to lower speeds. This ensures that you have little sound at low loads, but at high loads such as gaming they still run loudly, so headphones are recommended.
