Great performance, noisy cooling system
I bought this laptop for just 1099$ on sale and I’m absolutely satisfied. After setting up Gaming mode in MSI Center and updating Nvidia drivers all latest games that I play run smoothly, without freezes. Running heavy games laptop soon becomes hot on center top, but cooling system works well and handles it. But it’s very noisy when running on full speed.Screen is good, I didn’t have other laptops in same price category to compare, but this one is okay to me.Battery is a weak side of this laptop. Don’t expect to spend some hours in cafe doing your work on it, battery lasts for very very short time.Great that laptop has additional slot for SSD memory stick and two slots for RAM, so you can extend it.

Good basic laptop for video, 3D rendering, and graphic art.
I bought this to replace my antique HP laptop because I do video editing and Iâm starting to branch out and learn 3D modeling with Blendr and Daz3D. . It tackles renders fairly quick and doesnât lag when editing video with Davinci Resolve. Battery life can be short depending on how hard you are pushing it but I keep it plugged in mostly. I would definitely recommend getting a cooling stand with fans to put under it because the bottom will get hot under a constant workload.I love mine so far!11/4/23 EDIT.Started playing FiveM GTA and Ark Ascended on the laptop and can run both on very high settings with no sweat. Laptop still going strong. I shouldâve opted for the larger Hard Drive but will add an external SSD soon. 500GB runs out of space fast. Loving this little powerhouse of a laptop!

It was what I expected for a gaming laptop, great quality-price.
The laptop is great, quality-price. The only thing is not so good is the battery life but you can improve it and plug it in if you need to play video games or work hard with it. It can also heat up especially when you are playing, but that is normal too for a gaming laptop, you can turn onn fans to cool it down which is great, and in my personal opinions they are just a little noisy. I say it is a good buy If you want somethung fast and if you don’t mind pluging it constantly or using a cooling table. I am happy with it so far.

Good for the price, with some issues.
I got the 12UGKV-464 version, which is the i7-12700H with the RTX 3070.Pros:Very fast, runs new games at Ultra with no problemStyling, i like it but that’s subjectiveCompact for a laptop with this performanceBang for buck, if you grab it on sale, it’s worth the amount of performance you can get for a laptop at this price point compared to its competitorsCons:Screen color is awful (I’ve spent hours in the app trying to correct it but it is just bad)Runs HOT, even with the fan on max, I’ve seen the CPU jump above 90c many times.Storage, it comes with a 512gb drive, which with windows leaves you with not much room. This version only has one extra m2 slot and no 2.5″ slot. Also, adding another drive requires you to open to laptop, breaking the seal and voiding your warranty.Battery life, I brought this to a meeting at work once instead of my smaller chromebook. Even on ‘super battery mode’, only running MS Word, the battery didn’t survive the 1.5 hour meeting. It’s technically a laptop but don’t expect to be able to use it not plugged in for any amount of time.Overall, I’d give it a 4/5.The performance of this thing is great, I’ve tried many new games with it and it’s performed very well.The cooling issues are very concerning, as this can seriously shorten the lifespan of the CPU (the GPU doesn’t seem to have the same issues). The heat, lack of expandable storage, nonexistant battery life, and the screen coloration are holding this back from being a 5/5 for me. If you are going to use this primarily at home, somewhere it can be kept well ventilated, connected to an external monitor and occasionally bring it out, I’d suggest it.

Unbelievable for the price
For $1100 this is a super good deal. I dropped in a 2tb nvme and 32gb of ram and this thing runs like a beast. The 3070 has not stumbled on anything I’ve played and the cpu is running very well. It does get pretty hot, but something like the GT500 laptop cooler and alleviate that.Set up was a breeze and it was easy to upgrade as well. Highly recommended for a laptop with a lot of power and a solid price. It is probably more expensive that others, but the 3070 and the cpu in this laptop are super solid. For 1080p, they have more than ample power for whatever you throw on it.

LOVE MSI!
I bought this because I was in the market for a new computer. My desktop gaming PC had just died. But I didn’t want something that was SUPER powerful. I just wanted something mid kinda. Because I have all 3 next gen consoles and I game on those. This laptop came super quick and was packaged very nicely. It runs all the games I threw at it flawlessly. I had some rather massive updates to do via Windows Update. But when it was all said and done, the laptop is freaking great and fast!!

Bugs, errors, and problems.
This an excellent computer by specs. There are unfortunately some major flaws in the product. First and foremost, it is dead after three months of only moderate use. I will adjust my rating based on repairability. Second, the MSI software is buggy and very hard to get running properly. Third, it runs hot. Very hot. Forth and final, the battery is less than anemic. Exsanguinated…. Bereft of life….. This last really isn’t that big a deal. This is closer to a desktop replacement given the video card and the setup, but it would be nice to have a battery that would last longer than a few seconds(yes, that’s hyperbole).Now, if you’ve read this far, the juicy stuff. When this laptop is running, it blazes. I suggest upgrading the SSD, but otherwise, it’s an excellent computer. That dies. Horribly. If you buy this, I hope you have better luck.

Es una Laptop relativamente delgada y ligera, me refiero a relativamente porque es una Laptop para jugar, es muy fácil de hacer los upgrades de capacidad en disco y memoria RAM.Como toda laptop gamer hace un ruido considerable por el doble ventilador, además se agradece que se puede controlar la velocidad del mismo con accesos rápidos del teclado, si algo se le puede reprochar a esta máquina es que el RGB es de los más limitados que he visto, 4-5 efectos con pocos colores cuando en el mercado existen opciones con millones de colores y personalización a nivel de tecla, si eso no te importa (como a mi) y quieres una laptop disctreta pero poderosa, esta es tu opción, tiene una construcción robusta y de buena calidad, pudiera tener el trackpad un poco más grande pero la verdad no lo vas a usar mucho porque si es para juegos optarias por un mouse, asà como en toda laptop gamer, el teclado es incómodo para trabajar ya que tiene una sensación extraña, creo que si optas por este modelo ya tienes experiencia en el uso de teclados con switches mecánicos y preferirias un teclado mecánico para jugar.Por otro lado tiene poca duración de la bateria (2-3 horas) pero si la configuras adecuadamente y cuidas los procesos puede extenderse hasta 4-5 horas, si vas a jugar, definitivamente debe ser con el cargador conectado, tiene un modo que cambia el proceso gráfico de la RTX a la tarjeta gráfica de Intel dependiendo lo que estés haciendo y asà evitar el calentamiento y obviemnet en gasto de baterÃa(blanco: intel, naranja: RTX).En fin, es una exclente opción para trabajar y jugar, es una laptop sobria y elegante al mismo tiempo, estoy muy satifecho con la compra

Está excelente el producto, es de buena calidad, el sistema de ventilación es muy bueno aunque un poco ruidoso cuando se forza para dar un alto rendimiento, para juegos es estrictamente necesario tenerla conectada a la corriente por que la baterÃa no da para un rendimiento extremo, es muy rápida, llegó en el tiempo indicado, el paquete estaba intacto, la conseguà a 12 MSI en un precio de $24,000 MXN en la versión Intel Core i7-12700H RTX 3070 de 8GB dedicados y 16GB RAM con 512GB de almacenamiento SSD.La utilizo para trabajar en programas de diseño, AutoCAD, SketcUp, Lumion, V-Ray con las versiones mas actuales y funciona prefecto.El único juego que tengo (La utilizo para trabajar) es Warzone 2.0 y funciona con la calidad de gráficos en Ultra y Extremo con una sensación de FPS muy buena (no soy gamer y creo que para pasar el rato esta de maravilla el rendimiento).

Me parece una computadora excelente en muchos sentidos, buena calidad de construcción, bonita y con jna excelente calidad precio.Lamentablemente me he encontrado con 2 fallas que me preocupan.1.- Mala bateria y es que con algunos trucos he logrado sacar maxima 3 a 4 horas. Limitando el brillo, procesador y tarjeta.2.-Se calienta demasiado el procesador, enserio eh jugado varios tÃtulos a 1080p a 60fps, 4K a 30 Fps o 1440 a 60fps y si bien el rendimiento es muy bueno. Las temperaturas estan MUY altas incluso en graficos bajos a 60 1080p llegando arriba de los 90°C cosa que me llama la atencion por que la grafica jamas pasa de 70°C. Compre una base y logro mantener temperaturas de 80 – 85 °C pero me da mucho miedo la vida que me pueda dar.

Me encanta su diseño elegante y atrevido sin ser tan llamativo pero sin verse aburrido o muy plano de estilo, la laptop es potente y muy veloz, puede con todas las tareas que necesites, incluso jugando en resolución 2K (2560x1440p) puede llevar tus juegos en calidad alta a unos estables y fluidos 60fps y para competitivos shooters o de acción rapida a 1080p puedes llegar a los 144fps sin problema, lo único malo viene en su ampliación de almacenamiento donde solo te da la opción de agregar un SSD M.2 extra y no un SSD Sata, cosa que en modelos mas viejos si venÃa la conexión pero en éste ya no lo cual es una lastima pues tengo mi SSD sata que ya no le podré instalar a ésta laptop, de ahà en fuera en cuanto a rendimiento, estética y todo lo demás es un 5 Estrellas, y si la consigues en oferta por menos de 30Mil pesos es la mejor laptop que puedas comprar

Es muy buena lap, tiene un procesador de lo más potente y su tarjeta gráfica está de lujo.La agarre en descuento y les puedo decir que fue la mejor compra, si tienen la oportunidad no duden en comprarla porque les servira para el futuro ya que la puedes mejorar hasta 64GB de ram y tiene otra ranura para una ssd
