MSI Thin 15 B13VE-1697CA 15.6″ 144Hz Gaming Laptop Intel® Core™ i5-13420H RTX 4050 16GB 512GB NVMe SSD Win11

Great laptop for the price
This laptop arrived brand new in its manufacturer’s box with no damage to either the packaging or the device itself. It has a high-quality matte finish that feels smooth to the touch and doesn’t easily attract fingerprints or dirt. The size is great. While it lacks a numpad, which I use pretty religiously, I’m fine with that tradeoff given the overall functionality and power.Battery life is on the shorter side, though that’s expected for a gaming laptop. On energy-saving mode, mine lasts about two hours. I’d prefer a bit more, but since I mainly use it at home or occasionally take it when visiting others, I don’t mind keeping it plugged in. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who needs reliable battery life on the go.The screen is excellent for its class: bright, crisp, and true to color. HD videos and games look great with no dullness or wash-out. The RTX 4050 GPU delivers sharp rendering and vivid contrast, and the display complements it perfectly. Some laptop screens can ruin a good GPU’s output and this one definitely doesn’t.Performance has been consistently smooth. The system is highly responsive with no noticeable latency during installations, updates, or while running demanding programs.I tested Monster Hunter Wilds today, and it ran beautifully with medium settings and fluid performance, though the laptop did get quite hot under load. It could potentially run it at higher settings, too, considering I noticed no performance loss. I’d recommend using a cooling pad for extended gaming sessions. I’ve also run large, multilayered Photoshop projects with no slowdown at all. It handled both creative and gaming workloads effortlessly.Overall, this laptop offers excellent performance for the price, a gorgeous display, and strong build quality. Just be ready to keep it plugged in and cooled if you’re pushing it hard.

Good budget gaming laptop
I got this laptop for my son. He had been using an older surface pro and was irritated because it only had 8gb of ram. I browsed for several hours before I settled on this laptop. He has only had it a couple of days, but so far he absolutely loves it. It has a decent sized screen. The 16gb of ram has treated him well as he has been able to play minecraft with loads of mods (which was most of the reason he wanted a new laptop in the first place.). The only complaints he has so far is the battery life. (He got around two hours of time unplugged before it died on him. That is pretty short for a brand new product, given that my Macbook can go multiple hours on a single charge.). The other complain is the fan. He loves the fact that you can control the fan speed via keyboard shortcuts, but the fan is extremely loud. It legitimately sounds like a desk fan blowing. While I’m sure this probably keeps it nice and cool, this is something to be aware of. All things considered, for the price I bought it at, it seems to be a very good and capable machine. Other people in my family have used MSI products and not had issues with them.

From $300 Dell to this Gaming Laptop!
Absolutely met my expectations. All I wanted to do was play L4D2 and Roblox and it runs both of those perfectly/smoothly. It’s fast enough for its price, trust me! IT ALSO DOESNT OVERHEAT, EVEN WHEN I LEAVE THE CHARGER IN!

393gb of 453gb available?
Hey i got mine and on fresh it had 393 of 453gb available anyone else have this i thought it was 512?

Es un portátil ligero y eficiente, con las especificaciones que tiene cumple con lo prometido sin embargo por experiencia se RECOMIENDO usar un enfriador por aparte QUE NO se por USB para no afectar a la lap ya que la laptop solo cuenta con un único ventilador y eso podría provocar problemas en secciones de juego prolongadas

La computadora es bonita, el problema es que se sobrecalienta demasiado, tenía problemas de conexión Wi-Fi, ya que no se conectaba o si se conectaba pero no cargaba ciertos sitios o apps

Let me start off with this: this laptop is good for just about anything you want to do. the fans are adaptive to what youre doing, whether thats office work, gaming, or anything inbetween, it does it well. the fans are silent if youre doing regular office work, like word or excel, or just some window shopping. but it gets a bit loud when playing games, like call of duty or fortnite, but thats something you cant get rid of with laptop gaming.the battery life is pretty good. i never found myself having to put it in charge because it was about to die, but i also only play heavy games when i have it plugged in. it lasts me a solid 4 hours when i bring it to school, working on documents, powerpoints and such.the keyboard isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’s not the best. i like the layout of it and the custom functions they added, like a dedicated copilot button for all of your ai needs, different functions like manually turning up the fan to combat graphic-intensive games, a play and pause function, and your regular brightness and sound functions.the lighting on the keyboard is nice, but i don’t like how it’s only one color, which is like a sky blue. i do like that i can change the brightness of it however.the screen is a crisp 144hz 1080p ips display, and luckily its got a good enough graphics card that it can actually run 144fps on most games, which is something you dont often get with laptops. 1080p is just about all you need with a 15.6 inch display, because the screen is much smaller than your regular 24inch monitor.the ram is upgradable, but it already comes with 16gb of ddr4, which should be plenty for most games.i love that the chassy it’s built on is almost entirely metal. it gives a nice matte finish and also keeps it cooler for longer.overall a really good laptop for the price, really happy with my purchase. only thing i would really change is the keyboard lighting. thats about it.
