Bought this laptop as a Windows machine as mostly Mac based now. It’s good quality, and fast – for a good price point. Offers better value for money compared to other brands (eg. Dell, HP etc).
Would be good for general internet & computing tasks, home use, light office or a student.
Great laptop for a WFH editor. It’s not perfect, but it’s got enough juice to get me through the work that killed my previous 4GB RAM laptop.
I’d describe it as a workhorse. It doesn’t have a touchscreen or super-fast load time, but it’s got the RAM and memory to tackle complex tasks and a million Chrome tabs without breaking a sweat. Dependable. I have no regrets.
Pros:
– Lovely for typing on, the backlit keyboard is excellent,
– Capable of handling more complex work tasks and software,
– Good sound and screen brightness.
Cons:
– Fan gets quite noisy,
– Matte black shows up greasy fingerprints like crazy!
– Takes more than a few seconds to load up (it’s noticeable).
I was looking for a cheap laptop to replace the 10 year Samsung my dad has. I needed something with a backlit keyboard and couldn’t find anything close to the 329 pounds I paid.
The machine is really good value, and looks a lot more expensive than it’s price. The screen is bright with good viewing angles, keyboard backlight is bright enough, and the trackpad is good. The only downside is that the speakers aren’t great, but at this price you can’t really complain.
Most machines at this prcie point normally look cheap, have a poor processor, dim screen and no backlit keyboard. I think my dad will be pleased to replace his heavy slow old laptop with this.
Pros:
– Decent CPU, i3 12th Gen
– NVMe SSD 512GB, fast and more than enough storage.
– Good 1080p screen
– Backlit keyboard, great for typing at the dead of night
– Modern & slim, fans are extremely quiet.
– 8GB RAM is still perfectly capable, its not really a dealbreaker would have been better with 16 but most likely upgradable
Cons:
– Built in Speakers aren’t great
– Battery life is OK, about 5-6 hours depending on usage, not the best not the worst might be more on Battery saver mode but i’m just using it on normal settings
It’s not a gaming laptop as you might expect from MSI, but its more of a productivity laptop and for that its perfectly capable, been able to do everything I can on my main PC on this laptop minus gaming without any slowdowns. It can play some light games like Roblox or Minecraft for example, but don’t expect great performance on, because it doesn’t have dedicated GPU. Although can provide some benchmarks:
Minecraft 1.19 (12 chunks) – 80fps
Roblox (4/10 graphics) – 50-60fps
CSGO (720p low) – 50fps
Fortnite (1080p performance) – 40fps
GTA V (720p Normal) – 30fps
– Get this laptop and some headphones, if you don’t expect a gaming laptop you won’t be disappointed.
