This MSI is unique in its kind, due to the light weight combined with high performance and the 17-inch anti-reflective screen with 144 hertz refresh rate for a decent price compared to competition in this segment.
Usage: Extremely suitable for business use, study or gaming. You can multi-task with heavy image editing applications (e.g. Photoshop), data analysis (e.g. Excel, R) and play games at the highest settings.
Keyboard: The touch of the keys is pleasant thanks to the Steelseries keyboard with relatively much travel (1.5mm) for a laptop. For the enthusiast there is RGB lighting, adjustable per key in the Steelseries Engine software. A big plus of the laptop compared to its little brother 'GS65' is that there is a numerical part on the right side of the keyboard, which is useful for data entry.
Touch pad: The large multi-touch touchpad works very well and is robust. When connecting an external mouse, you can set the touchpad to switch off automatically and this is very nice because when typing, the hand can partially rest on the touchpad without accidentally moving the mouse.
Video card: The Geforce GTX 1660TI video card is fast enough to play all current games on ultra and will most likely last another 5 years to play future generations of games on medium settings. Those who have a budget and do not want to use ray-tracing, which is available for a limited number of games, do not have to buy a video card (RTX 2060/2070/2080). The extra price of €500 to €1000 is an unnecessary luxury at the time of writing.
Battery life: The battery life is reasonable to good with between 5-7 hours in ECO mode with light work (browsing the internet, watching movies, etc.) The battery life is on the short side for heavier tasks such as gaming at 1 hour and it is therefore recommended to connect the laptop to the mains.
Design: In terms of design, this laptop does not have a garish gaming laptop appearance compared to the competition such as the HP Omen and Alienware M17. However, the gold accents on the hinges and the MSI dragon logo on the back of the screen make it look less professional than, for example, more business laptops such as the Dell XPS 15 or an ASUS Zenbook.
Overall, the laptop feels fairly sturdy despite its thin casing. However, the screen is so thin that it is somewhat flexible/tiltable, but this should not be a problem with normal use.
Screen: The 144-hertz 17-inch matte screen is good for designers (with sRGB setting) as well as gamers who want shooters with a high refresh rate. Also suitable for users who do not want a touch screen (which reduces battery life and performance and makes the laptop more expensive) or who do not want a glossy screen (which causes reflection).
Webcam: The webcam has a nice placement at the top of the screen and has an average image quality. For those who want video calling, this will be sufficient. However, for streamers (eg Twitch) an external webcam is recommended for streaming in higher resolution.
Performance: The laptop can be set in 3 modes with the pre-installed software 'MSI Dragon Center', namely: ECO, Comfort, Sport. The disadvantage of Comfort mode is that it seems redundant because it does not reduce the clock speed of the CPU or decrease the battery life. The ECO mode is sufficient for light/normal use and the Sport mode will be necessary for heavy applications where the cooling of the laptop is essential in order not to overheat.
During heavier applications (especially games) the cooling fans will blow harder and as a result produce a lot of noise and can be experienced as disturbing. That is why a headset is not a superfluous luxury to solve this problem. For light/normal use, this laptop is quiet and will not cause any noise nuisance.
The laptop can get very hot during heavier applications (CPU 90 degrees) and it is recommended not to use it on your lap.
Sound: For a laptop, the sound can be called 'good' from the built-in speaker. However, the low frequencies are missing so that the bass tones in music are under-represented. The sound with a headset will sound a lot fuller.
It is nice that there are 4 presets in the preinstalled software from MSI (Dragon Center) that function as an equalizer for music, film, communication and gaming.
Conclusion: I would recommend this laptop if you want one of the lightest 17-inch laptops with a matte screen, run heavy applications and can multi-task, be mobile at all times and are also a fan of gaming.
