MSI GF63 Thin 9SC-614 15.6" Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i5-9300H, NVIDIA GTX 1650, 8GB, 512GB NVMe SSD, Win10

I purchased a desktop 2 years ago and didn't realize I'd be playing as many PC games as I currently am (have mostly been a console and mobile gamer in the past). I wanted an inexpensive, yet powerful rig that could handle the graphics load I needed it to. In addition, I didn't want anything too flashy, and something I could take into the office if required. The GF63 perfectly checks all my boxes. Having just purchased a desktop (and outfitted it with all the bells and whistles) just 2 years ago, I didn't want to spend a lot on a new machine. Once I settled on the GF63 I shopped around and Amazon had the best price for the configuration (i.e. most memory, SSD capacity size, etc.). I especially loved the stylish, yet tone downed aesthetic of the machine. Even with the keyboard LEDs off, the MSI dragon logo on the lid says there's something a little different that sets this laptop apart from your standard office machine.Speaking of the keyboard, a lot of reviews I read mentioned that is was mushy or too soft to type on. I've found nothing of the sort. The keys offer good feedback and have nice travel distance (though it maybe a little short for some), and I found the typing experience to be pretty good. In addition, the screen is crisp and bright, and it handles colors and animations perfectly. The SSD handles boot up in under 10 seconds, and has plenty of room considering we save most things to one cloud or another these days.My one and only complaint about this machine is the memory. At 8 GB the machine should be faster than it is. Simple everyday tasks like saving a WORD file can take way longer than expected. If you decide to buy this laptop make sure there's enough room in your budget to purchase a memory upgrade (I'm in the process of maxing mine up to 32 GB -- an extra $100 expense -- but even adding an additional 8 GB chip to increase overall memory to 16 GB should make a world of difference). I should also note that I keep my laptop plugged in so can't really speak to battery life.I'll end on another good note: bloat-ware. There was practically none to uninstall (just the usual Norton programs, Microsoft Office trial version, and a redundant media program). There are a couple of MSI proprietary programs that are borderline, but I've chosen to just ignore them for now. All-in-all this is a great machine that I highly recommend if you're in the market for new gaming rig.

An incredibly well priced laptop. When I bought it at $699 comparable laptops when for close to $1000. I've had it for almost 4 months now and it can do everything I want to. I can play games and have numerous things going at the same time with no lag (provided you have the right settings and/or plugged in).The only critique would be that the battery life is not the best especially if you are doing anything that requires a decent amount or resources. It does run a bit hot (not always) but that is to be somewhat expected for something doing a million things at once.You could only get a better laptop set up if you paid more for it. This was one of my favorite purchases especially during covid era considering I had to work from home (and play). Treat yourself.

I normally play on a potato laptop for gaming, this is my first actual gaming laptop. So you can imagine the pleasure of being able to game with quality fps and graphics. I am mostly running Diablo 3 with ultra settings right now and it is gorgeous. Rich color, smooth frame rate.The only cons so far is the brushed metal casing, which shows fingerprints badly if you barely touch it (that's just a nitpick though), and it gets pretty hot along the top area above the keyboard and to the left. Puts out massive heat too. I have the fan settings on auto, I might boost them higher in the dragon app that comes with the laptop.Overall it is a GREAT laptop for the price. Looks nice, feels great, runs wonderfully, has a great built in program for managing the graphics and the fans. This is the 3rd MSI laptop we've purchased for ourselves (we're using the other 2 as well) and we're pretty much sold on this brand.

Arrived without any issues. Ready to use right out of the box with only two minutes of set up. Performs as expected, and is able to handle low to mid level games. The only problem is its short battery life.

This is a very good laptop and it worths the money. I bought the I5-9300H, GTX1650 version，512GB version. this laptop fits into my backpack . Currently I installed Battlefield 4, Arma 3, Insurgency 2 and The Division 2. It can run division 2 in 60 fps in medium video setting. For BF4, It can run about 60 - 90 FPS in Ultra video setting. highly recommand
