For this price point you can’t really beat the value & performance
I got an Amazon Warehouse deal, it looked brand new but was not in the factory box just a plain box. I couldn’t be happier. I built a desktop and didn’t need as meaty of a laptop anymore so I downgraded from a GE75 2080 to this. I was worried at first since the 1650 is basically the lowest performer out of all the newer nvidia chips. While that is true, it is a great overclocker and the CPU runs full speed (even on my larger GE75 I had to limit boost clocks to keep temps under control).I can play games on auto fans and CPU is usually below 80c, and GPU around 65c. With max fans on it stays much cooler than that! I know the GPU is lower end but I cannot believe how well this cools compared to the last few laptops I’ve had as well as how good the CPU runs in a smaller, cheaper laptop at that!I wonder if someone had put liquid metal thermal compound on this unit because that is how it appears to be running. It will play many of my games at max settings at 1080p, and more demanding games I can still play ultra settings if I lower the res to 720p which isn’t so bad on such a small screen, or I can run 1080p and lower the settings to med-high. It helps that it’s only a 60 hz screen so I’m not driving the system as hard as a high refresh system would be.Absolutely thrilled at how great it runs and how up-gradable it is. I put my old M2 and 2.5″ drives in and bought another 8GB ram to bring it to 16GB total.

No regrets buying this.
I bought this laptop for school use and all I can say is amazing. I was coming from a HP 15 laptop that was 3 years old and going to this was like going from driving a Nissan Sentra to driving a Nissan Skyline GT. I use to turn on my HP laptop and wait a couple of minutes to sign in now when I turn on my GL63 I only wait a couple of seconds. The graphics are pretty stunning the fans do turn on quite a bit but I donât mind that battery life is about 3 hours. I run VR machines and this thing doesnât hesitate one bit it loads my VR machines right up and quick. I use it mainly for school work havenât tested out any games on it maybe one day but thatâs why I have a PS4 for. I am loving this machine for the money and the specs.

A Budget Power and keeps cool!
While it won’t run the latest of 2019’s releases on ultra graphics, it does play the current games on medium settings quite smoothly, and helps makes the colors and contrast pop!The Laptop itself is fairly light, with a pleasing, smooth surface and options to turn on and off the fans as required – which is good as while powerful the fans are on the noisy side, so they can be turned off if all you’re doing is browsing the web and writing up reports or assignments, and then switch it on when you want to relax. I had issues with previous laptops getting uncomfortably hot to the touch, or even powering down due to overheating, and I have no such issues so far!

Great laptop for value.
Great value for the money! Had a HP laptop for 8 years before getting this one, had gone through 4 batteries because everytime i would overcharge the battery it would get weaker and weaker to the point where they only had 30 minutes of power. With this new laptop I love that you can set the battery to stop charging at 60 or 80%, saving battery life in the long run. The specs are good enough to run pretty much any new game that you want. Strong enough to do video editing which is what i mostly use it for. Upgrading to a 2tb HHD and another 8gb ram was easy.

WORST computer I (a Software Engineer) have ever owned.
I have owned many computers over the years, including 4 from MSI. I have only had small issues in the past, but after my experience with this one, I will never by another MSI or affiliated manufacturer’s product. The track pad buttons sunk in one day, deeper on the left than right, for no apparent reason, still functions, but there is now a gap by the left button where stuff seems to get in, and the button has a mind of its own when it will work. The backlighting faded out early on and has never brightened back up to be useful. The case has cracked on the right hinge from normal opening and closing and occasionally gets hung up closing threatening to crack worse. The battery seemed good at first, but now dies very quickly.

Review after having this laptop for a few months.
Pros:Keyboard is amazing, best keyboard I have used on a laptopJust the right size for laptop bagsBuild quality is greatCan upgrade easily (no socket RAM/Storage)Cons:The way you upgrade is buy pulling the back off, and you have to be careful with not breaking the plastic tabs that hold it together.On Gaming Mode, the battery drains quick, 3 hours Id sayWould like thunderbolt instead of USB-COverall it is a solid laptop for anyone who wants to have a productive laptop with gaming as a hobby.

I’ve had a couple computers through amazon refurbishing. Whoever is handling the computers seems to care. I’ve been running pubg on this. Upgraded ram and memory but was good to go. Updated graphics drivers and off like a champ.Thank you whoever is running this.

Pretty darn good laptop for mid tier gaming and some school work here and there, definitely brings out the bang for the buck, and all in all I just love it!

A casi un año de la compra puedo asegurar que es una buena compra.Es un equipo muy completo, con un buen procesador de octava generación, buena cantidad de memoria RAM de inicio y permite expansión hasta 32gb con dual channel.Un puerto libre SATA para expandir el almacenamiento ya que la cantidad con la que viene el ssd incluÃdo puede no ser suficiente para algunos juegos. Por supuesto también el puerto m.2 que permite el arranque del equipo y la ejecución a velocidades sorprendentes.Cuenta con un sistema de enfriamiento muy eficiente por lo que permite correr la mayorÃa de los juegos sin ningún problema, eso gracias también a la tarjeta gráfica integrada con la que cuenta, esto mismo permite utilizarla para tareas que requieran un mayor procesamiento gráfico y cualquier tipo de tareas de manera fluida.Muy contento con la marca MSI y completamente recomendada.

Llevo un par de semanas con el equipo, y no tarde en hacer pruebas de desempeño para el área en el que lo ocupo, de qui dividiré en secciones la opinión:ArquitecturaHasta el momento con ningún programa he tenido problemas, para el renderizado he usado Twinmotion, una casa de alrededor de 120 M2 con árboles, arbustos y hojas (modelos 3d) en calidad ultra va a 40-45 FPS, exportando múltiples renders (4) de tamaño FullHD en menos de 30 segundos, para edición de vÃdeo en Adobe Premiere también me ha funcionado bien.Programas como Photoshop e illustrator van de maravilla, en ningún momento las vistas 3D me han fallado en archiCAD. El único programa potente que me falta probar es Lumion, pero es bastante parecido a Twinmotion (opiniones reservadas).Juegos:En este aspecto no le he exigido todo lo que puede dar, ya que solo he probado el tomb raider de 2014 en calidad máxima y sigue llendo bastante fluido, por momentos alcanzando más de 60fpsDe ahà en más solo he jugado Batman Arkham city en calidad alta pero no vi nada de FPS, solo puedo decir que va muy fluidoHardware:En la parte estética me agrada, no es el diseño más llamativo, pero para mà está bien, me gusta que sea simple y asà no llama la atención demasiado, además por el precio y lo que trae, lo considero un plus.En la parte de la pantalla, los colores que vienen por defecto no son de mi agrado total, mi referente es un monitor predator y mi antigua laptop, una Macbook pro retina 13, para mà se queda un poco corta, ya que se ve muy azul para mi gusto (no he probado otras configuraciones del color) y cuando está cerrada hay un ligero pandeo al colocarle algo de peso.El teclado me gustó bastante, con un tacto suave y con intensidad de ilinacion led ajustable, hacen que trabajar sea agradable, lo que no me gustó fue el trackpad, pero esa ya es cuestión personal, mi favorito sigue siendo el de las Macbook, pero el tacto de la lap msi es bastante agradable, no sé si solo sea mi compu, pero a veces no detecta los clics qué hago en los botones.También los botones especializados de gaming y de cooler booster estan bien, solo que en mi lap el de cooler booster tarda un poco en reaccionarLa bocina que trae se oye bastante bien, lo suficiente como para que no me haga falta conectar mi bocina Bluetooth, solo hayq uw tener en cuenta en donde estará la compu, ya que para mejorar el sonido debe ser una superficie rÃgida.El brillo máximo no es lo suficiente como para trabajar plenamente en el exterior, pero sigue siendo suficienteLa baterÃa no me dura mucho, con el brillo máximo y trabajando en Google word y fl studio me dura hora y media, pero no sé si se pueda arreglar eso, en reproducción de vÃdeo es algo similar, llegando a las 2 horas y jugando solo 1 hora.El diseño de los laterales es lo que me encantóEl sistema de refrigeración es excelente, cuando se calienta lo enciendo un minuto y queda dicipado el calor, aparte con la aplicación de msi se puede ajustar a preferencia para que no lo tengas que activar manualmente.El cargador es un mastodonte, es bastante pesado, pero todo sea por tener a este bebé funcionandoPortabilidadAquà noté un cambio brutal, de pasar de un lap de 13″ a una de 15″ se nota y bastante, apenas me cabe la laptop en la mochila, queda justa y el grosor de la lap have un poco incómodo el manipularla, pero insisto, pasar de una finura de una Macbook a un año gamer se notaVeredictoNo me arrepiento de nada :v
