I love MSI laptops and this one doesn't disappoint. So far, I've played: Elden Ring, Miles Morales, Red Dead Redemption 2, Overwatch 2, Wild Hearts and Hogwarts Legacy and they all run amazingly on high settings.
With all the other gaming laptops I've owned, I usually use a cooling pad, but I'd say you don't need one with this laptop. It usually doesn't get very hot, but if it does, there's a button on the keyboard to activate cooler boost.

The laptop is great, been using it for several years now and have traveled across the country with it playing games from all ranges. Can’t say I’ve encountered any issues aside from some basic file downloading but I’d say that more software than hardware issues. A great middle budget gaming laptop.

the computer shell is too fragile and cracks very quickly, the battery is much less efficient for a g8aming computer.

I recently purchased this laptop in July 2022. I am not a heavy gamer but for the games I do play there is no lag and it runs like a dream. I’m not sure what normal battery life a laptop is supposed to have, but I would say 30 minutes during gameplay. Otherwise I don’t really have anything negative to say so I would recommend purchasing this gaming laptop.

Solid & responsive machine. Able to handle any anything I throw at it. The machine benchmarked well & was able to handle the stress test. If you're looking for a gaming laptop that won't break the bank, but should be able to handle games while this will do the trick.
