2024 Cyborg 15 AI - The Worst Gaming Laptop of 2023 Returns! Still Not Worth Buying? New CPU and RGB

I got to take a quick look at the new 2024 MSI Cyborg 15 at CES 2024. Beyond the new RGB keyboard and new Intel Ultra 7 155H processor, not much has changed. This unfortunately means it is still stuck with a terrible display and low power limits on both CPU and GPU at 45W.

I actually like the formfactor of this laptop. I like the fact that it's lower wattage. I want a gaming capable laptop that isn't a small furnace. The cyborg specifically feels pretty light compared to even my Lenovo Yoga 7, a non-gaming laptop. I love the phsyical design of the Cyborg, I think it looks really cool and feels great to pick up, but man that display... saw it at Costco, and I couldn't stop spamming the brightness button thinking it would somehow have to increase the brightness. The display is seriously WAY too dim, not sure what they were thinking, and the lack of thunderbolt is also a miss in my eyes.

why do they make the budget laptops so bad nowadays, I feel like the 2019 times acer nitro 7 as example it was FULL metal and yeah it didnt have the best cooling design but I had that laptop and I loved it. I'm still looking for an used higher specced nitro 7 than which I had just because it's so cheap used and it's full metal and nice looking (to me), I hate the new designs where the screen isn't at the end of the body like it sits a bit more forward and ports are in the back. I had 1 laptop with ports at the back and to me personally that was more hassle than a benefit gotta lean over the screen to plug things in not just plug to the side and that's it, I' prefer the essentials i need on the sides than millions of ports on the back, and to me that kind of design isn't as aestethic as the ''normal laptop design'' and I like my laptop looking aestethic, and feel premium. nowadays all the cheaper end laptops costs 1k+ and on top of that are msi plastic crap, I miss the days when cheaper decent full metal laptops were 600-900 at max and didn't start at a 1k+ with the garbage guality and plastic laptops

I don't get why cheap has to mean pos cooling solution. Really, how expensive is it to just put an extra fan and exhaust pipe in it.

Does it use the gtx well I heard the previous one vs the wattage it had couldn’t fulfil the gtx 4050/4060 so was no point having it in

Forse è plastica riciclata a buon mercato. Potrebbero mettere 2 ventole con dissipatori di calore, un problema informatico, sappiamo che i componenti elettronici si surriscaldano, questo vale anche per i telefoni cellulari.

I agree on note buying once I heard "MSI"

[nileredsexperiment]

MSI just sucks at making Budget entries.

[basilabedallah]

jesus christ what a poor design of the laptop. msi continues to shock people with crappiest plastic available and poorest design ever seen by a human race. look at those hideous ports, dear god.
