MSI Thin 15 15.6” 144Hz FHD Gaming Laptop: Intel Core i5-12450H, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2050, 16GB DDR5, 512GB NVMe SSD, Cooler Boost 5, Win 11: Black B13UCX-2041US

Good laptop after some tweaking
I got this laptop a few days ago and have tested it for nearly 48h.Some things to consider• Pretty good screen for a laptop. 144hz and good looking out of the box• Laptop frame feels solid but isnt overly heavy.• The 6gb RTX 3060 runs games really well. Division 2 averaged over 120 fps at max settings at 1080p. I tested war thunder, escape from tarkov and mordhau as well and both were extremely smooth (both hit 144hz reliably at ultra 1080p). No noticable input or screen lag in mordhau so fast shooters will benefit as well.• No noticeable micro stutters when switching from• The laptop top doesn’t feel hot under pressure but I wouldn’t play this on my lap.• I added a 1tb WD Blue NVMe stick to this laptop, its easy to do and there are videos of how to do it.• The GPU runs cool for a laptop (avg 78 under pressure) but the CPU doesn’t. You can fix this by limiting the max power in power settings for the CPU or undervolting it. The cpu has initial spikes in temp but usually ends up in the mid 80s which is a little hot but expected.• Use dragon center to tune the performance. Don’t run extreme performance without cooler boost.• Buy a cooling pad and watch temps for the CPU, the CPU is the only thing that holds this beast back because it tends to hit high temps (95c max from what I saw) if left at max settings.• It has 2x USB3.2and 2x USB-C so you might need to buy an usb dongle. It has a single jack for a headset so you might need to buy a splitter depending on your headset.• One HDMI only. No displayport at all which is something to consider. The HDMI is capable of 4k 60hz but at the end of the day its HDMI. Should be compatible with g sync or g sync supported monitors.

Amazing Graphics and power for price!
This is an amazing laptop! I have had it for a little over a month now (from writing this review) and I have not had any performance issues that were caused by the computer or anything involving the computer itself. (Some programs I have don’t work properly but that has nothing to do with the laptop but missing files or improperly installed files. )It is important to note, I have seen so many reviews given as one star because of a user fault. The most common issue is overheating. Here is some advice for the people who fail to research what they might need for a *GAMING LAPTOP*. GET AN EXTERNAL FAN PAD!!! The fans in the laptop are no where near strong enough to maintain proper cooling in a gaming laptop for prolonged periods of use. They are way too small and simply cannot keep the computer cool because of the power required to run all the hardware. If you simply did your research (which I hope is what your doing by reading this) you would know to get fans. They are cheap and they will assist in keeping your computer cool. Something else to note, gaming desktop PCs don’t generally have this problem (if ordered from and built by a trusted brand). I cannot guarantee that every computer will have a well built cooling system (in regards to PCs. Not laptops). In short, if you’re looking to get a gaming laptop, get external cooling fans. They are generally cheap and there are many for you to find.

Compre esta laptop porque necesitaba mas poder y portabilidad de en mi trabajo (soy diseñador y escritor)La laptop cumple con lo que promete y fue un gran salto de una Macbook Pro 2015.Rendimiento: PROS- Al tener una grafica dedicada, puedes jugar practicamente cualquier juego desde fall guys hasta juegos pesados como GOW en graficos bajos medios.- En programas como PS, el rendimiento es exepcional y muy fluido.- El SSD M.2 es de poca capacidad pero veloz, lo cambiaré para tener mayor espacio. (Ojo solo tiene un slot para M.2)RENDIMIENTO: CONTRAS- Nunca había comprado una laptop gamer, y mi sorpresa fue que cuando tienes poca batería el rendimiento (más en juegos) se ve muy afectado, limitando la potencia al grado de no poder jugar fluidamente.- Los 8 GB de RAM son suficientes unica y exclusivamente si no la usaras mas que para tareas de ofimatica, para cualquier uso diferente si o si necesitaras 16 GB.CALIDAD – PROS- Los materiales son en su mayoria plastico, por lo que el peso es muy bajo.CALIDAD – CONTRAS- Tiende a ensuciarse DEMASIADO, si eres una persona que le sudan mucho las manos se notara aún más.Tips adicionales:En mi PC de escritorio cuento con un Ryzen 5 5600X y una RTX 3070Ti, el rendimiento de la de escritorio claramente es muy superior, pero aún y cuando comparto archivos para continuar el trabajo fuera de casa, la laptop se comporta bastante bien y a la altura.Desde el día 1 opte por colocar 32 GB RAM, no hace falta decir que el rendimiento mejoro MUCHISIMO. (Tiene 2 modulos y soporta hasta 64 GB)El panel es IPS, por lo que si ya tienes una PC de escritorio con un panel VA o TN, notarás que los colores son mas fríos pero a su vez más reales.

Muy buena maquina, con buen rendimiento, el único pero que le pondría es la duración de la batería.
