For the people who just bought this laptop dw it's not bad at all. This laptop is so good and run perfectly smooth, it does have 1 fan but it still keeps the core cool, it doesn't have lot of storage but ssd card will sort it out. Over all it is perfect low budget laptop

Hello! My configuration for this laptop is Cyborg 15 A12VF-259XBY. It is equipped with DDR5 16GB(8GB*2) and 1TB SSD right out of the box! Great versatile car! You can work with video in Adobe Premier Pro!

Looking forward to more of this!🤩

Im in DXB right now and planning to buy a budget gaming laptop, thank you for this honest review since its one of my prospects to buy.

I have never seen a review this good about anything. What an amazing job, congrats!

I managed to get this on sale (using it to watch this video lol) for $700. Since I was able to save $300 I bought a 2tb nvme ssd, nvme external enclosure, and 32gb (2x16) ddr5 ram. I used the enclosure to clone the 512gb drive to the 2tb drive and swap them out (now use the 512gb as an external drive).

I actually picked it up before heading to my class, and ended up doing these upgrades in the university library.

So with my previous 5tb external hard drive (seagate one touch), the 512gb external nvme drive, and the internal 2tb nvme, I got storage for days. (games are stored on all three, just depends how demanding the game is for where I install it).

But between some coding, school work, and gaming, I am extremely happy with they laptop so far... especially since I got it on sale.

(edit: I absolutely loved this video, got yourself a new subscriber)

Just bought this for school and was debating returning it to shell out more money, but this review proved me wrong. Thank you for saving my pockets

I feel like people who review this laptop are just laptop elitists.

For anyone who has purchased this laptop and has now seen some bad reviews. FOR THE PRICE, this laptop is incredible. Is it top tier? No. Not at all, but its not top tier price. I don't like the word cheap, I prefer to use value for money, because that is what this laptop is. It will do what is asked of it, not as good as other laptops, but enough for it to not matter. If youre on a budget and this laptop is what you found, congratulations, cos you found a gem.

Edit - since you hearted this comment, I read back through it and I think it sounds like I’m putting you in that “Laptop elitist” role. I’m definitely not!

Your review was the best one I’ve seen, you gave it a fair judgement and did an excellent job 👍

Just picked mine up a couple days ago only issue I had was the 8gb of ram but quickly swapped in 32gigs ddr5 5200mhz and it feels like a big upgrade

Heres my honest review:
I have been using this laptop for over a year at this point, and overall, I can definitely say that it was worth it.
I purchased it for around $850; specs were 512gb storage, Intel 12th gen i5 8 core CPU, 8gb RAM, and a Nvidia 4050. I ended up purchasing a 2tb SSD and upgrading the memory to 32gb for around an extra $150, totaling my current build to $1000. It doesn't take any experience to install the SSD nor RAM, however you will need to reinstall or port over windows onto the new SSD.

The battery is pretty much useless, but it is portable enough that I can carry both the laptop and charger in a schoolbag. The core tends to max out in most high-end games, and the fan will need to be at max speeds (which can be a little loud) when running RTX. Screen is dimmer than most, but still has high resolution and great colors. I use a headset, but the microphone on the laptop is pretty good unless you have a dedicated microphone setup.

Overall, it is a great deal in terms of cost.

Finally a lovely video for my ultrawide screen. thinking on hgetting this model tomorrow

Excellent review Kevin. I'm new to the channel - and immediately subscribed. Excellent, comprehensive, professional stuff - looking forward to more reivews! :)

No one takes into account and does not disclose the temperatures of MSI laptops. Yes, the temperature of laptops is higher than that of PCs - but in MSI laptops they are really big: CPU 90 degrees, GPU 75-80. This is with a reduced heat output to 75W GPU. So if you want to get an MSI laptop for a short time, it will last you a maximum of a year or less
P.S. Having only one fan in a ‘Gaming Laptop’ is absolutely ridiculous. Who even buys these laptops from MSI?

[borandagio]

Great review thank you for the information just purchased one after watching

[kopilkaiser]

I feel it is worth it to an extent. Now on 2023, I cannot find any good laptop! They are overpriced and have issues of overheating. Most notable one to mention would be the DELL INSPIRON 14 PLUS 7430 is absolutely crap. It just heated up like a frying pan right out of the box.

[roxon]

For your future videos you should mention that single channel ram will kill gaming performance and that a second stick or a 16gb config is the way to go

[niels_nc_store]
