Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert

You can play demanding games at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD with the RTX 4070 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.
To stream your gameplay in 4K quality, we recommend an Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 32GB RAM.
Due to its weight of 2.25kg, this laptop is less easy to take with you in your backpack or laptop bag.

Good value for money, only screen is disappointing

Fast video card
Not too flashy gaming laptop
Good price/quality
Very mediocre screen

Nice fast laptop that can play most games nicely with an rtx 4070. Like many gaming laptops, this one is not for detours, but you can easily take your laptop with you. Would personally buy another screen so you can connect the laptop to it

Windows 11+ 16 gig ram: don't!

Beautiful Design
Built small
Much slower than I expected.

Had a happy MSI for years, had hoped this would be an upgrade. But navigating in windows is already slower. That doesn't bode well. Gets hot even at the slightest, ram is almost constantly full when opening 1 program. Very bad feeling about this purchase. Too bad, because I usually have faith in MSI.
