Key Considerations
CPU & GPU performance — The i7-13620H and RTX 4050 target smooth 1080p gaming and strong multitasking. Display — The 15.6" FHD (1920×1080) 144Hz panel is designed for fast, responsive gameplay and competitive titles. Memory & storage — Comes with 16GB DDR4 (3200 MHz) and a 512GB NVMe SSD; upgrade if you need more workspace or game storage. Thermals & sustained performance — MSI’s Cooler Boost helps maintain stable performance during long sessions, though the thin chassis means more heat compared with thicker gaming laptops. Portability & battery — Lightweight and easy to carry, but battery life is moderate due to the dedicated GPU. Connectivity & extras — Includes Wi-Fi 6E, a backlit keyboard, and enhanced audio features. Upgradeability & serviceability — Typically supports dual RAM slots and NVMe SSD expansion depending on the exact SKU.
GPU + CPU fit your games — RTX 4050 performs best at 1080p high to very high settings.
Thermals in a thin chassis — Performance depends on cooling; thinner laptops run hotter during extended gaming.
Upgrade path (RAM/SSD) — Supports up to 64GB DDR4 and NVMe storage, useful for heavy workloads or large game libraries.
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
Customer Reviews
Decent battery life Easy to upgrade. Just unscrew the bottom screws pop open the bottom lid (but be careful not to break the side ports and internal components obviously) and wala! You have access to the ssd ram and a spot for a 2.5” ssd or hdd. M.2 ssd and ram are fully upgradable. Ram goes up to 64gb max so you can do a lot with that It has usb 3.1 and usb c It’s fairly low power and lightweight too The onboard gpu isn’t too bad but the RTX 4050 is pretty good for what I use too. Both gpus perform well in Daz Studio Marvelous Designer and Blender I’m not a gamer but I do play GameCube Wii Gameboy and DS emulators and occasionally simcity 5 and a TON of simcity 4. On simcity 5 the most graphics intensive game i play I can crank the settings up to maximum using the RTX and it plays very smoothly and looks great
This is without a doubt more of a family computer for younger kids such as elementary school. For any online homework, this will be just fine. You don't need a strong PC or laptop for their school work. This laptop runs Fortnite, Minecraft, and League of Legends just fine with the AMD CPU and RTX 3050 GPU. It might not be at max settings, but it'll be at Medium and high FPS for sure. 1080p screen so if they watch Youtube, it won't look blurry either. Overall, would recommend getting if you have small kids.
