Pros: 17" screen makes for a very nice gaming experience, withiut using an external monitor. Laptop handles games at medium-high settings very well getting consistent 60fps on Hogwarts Legacy, and 90-100fps consistently on games like battlefield 2042 and different NFS titles. Overall a very good laptop for the price.Cons: Fans are very loud when gaming, but that's to be expected with any slim laptop getting used at full capacity.

Pros: Quality laptop runs league at 350fps highest settings. Very sleek design and looks the part.Cons: With power comes fans! It’s a bit noisy when it switches to high performance mode but that’s it.

Pros: Fast and easy to setup, screen is good but could be a little brighter. Has coped with most of the games I've played with high settings, and the 144hz refresh is very good. For the price and specs MSI have done a good job on this machine so far.Cons: It's quite heavy but not as bad as most gaming laptops. Fans can get loud after long use with games on high settings it can get hot, but it still has performed very well when I've used it. Battery life could be better getting about 3.5 - 4 hours on a heavy used day.

Pros: It turns on.Cons: Battery charge keeps going down and doesn't charge back up.The power cable from the adapter to the laptop is too short to comfortably reach, so it either tangles on the edge of whatever chair you use or dangles - which is a hazard.You need to take off the NumLock if you want to use Home, End, PgUp and PgDn.
Pros: Good price for what specification you receive!Cons: Battery life is bad, even if you not play on it it keeps power about 3.5 hours.
Pros: Can not really comment on battery life as it does not go out of house and is always plugged in.Nice big clear screan.Cons: I understand from my son who has the same model with 15" screan that the battery life could do with more life
Very reliable laptop for the price. I do love MSI brand and I can use this laptop for both work and gaming.Very happy with the quality for the price paid also. Thank you. :)
Very good for gaming, and feels great.The biggest criticism and stopping this from getting a top score - Is the fact that it only has 512gb storage, with no secondary internal. It's not a deal breaker by any stretch.. But having to lug around an external SSD is a bit frustrating.A word of warning though - be very careful in how you handle it. The factory seal sticker is very thin and very easy to damage, potentially voiding any warranty.It seems to be a common theme with MSI laptops such as the one I bought in May 2020 (MSI GL75 9SE)
Pros: Nice design. Great for work and play.Cons: Lacks an internal SATA port so unable to add an additional (and cheaper) 2.5" drive. However, there is an additional slot for an m2 NVME drive.
Purchased to replace my 4 year old asus tuf with a 7700hq, 1050 GTX. Obviously this is a huge upgrade, the display is excellent, the msi software isnt invasive and is minimal but ive found most of it to be useful. It powers through any games I play at excellent FPS for me, world of warships everything on high 130 FPS. Warhammer 40k Darktide around 70 - 80fps, plays excellent. the fans arent too loud for me at all i dont even notice them even when the laptop is hot. As you'd expect you wont get a crazy battery life on a gaming laptop but this manages quite well imo, i plug in when i play games anyway so cant provide any info on that. the laptop is very light in comparison to my 4 year old ASUS which is a very welcomed addition.
