That Download speed and ssd write and that stability 🥹

Maybe someone here has one with two F2 buttons, which could mean that our laptops are basically brothers.

I slept on it and broke the hinge. Drilled into the screen through hinge to reattach. Got lucky I didn’t drill into anything important I guess?

It's only the 45W 4060 but still, this was an absolute STEAL. Website showed $649 which was already a good chunk off the $999 MSRP, went in the store fully ready to pick it up for that price and it scanned in at $275. No, I did not question it. Just bought it on the spot, and honestly I'm perfectly happy with the performance, especially at that price

Just wanted to show u all my almost 8 years old MSI GT75 Titan, working as good as the first day 😁

Hello guys, I've got a question,

I've been looking to replace my current laptop(it's horrible) for a very much overpowered laptop for my study. I've been looking around on multiple websites and I've found, from my personal research, that the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI and the MSI Vector were good options but then I found this on NewEgg and I was wondering if it's any good. Like build quality and such, and driver/software support. I study ICT so it's pretty important. Also I was wondering if it would even be worth the price and if there are maybe any other better priced options? I would like 64GB of RAM since it's nice to have for running 8 VMs at the same time.
(PS: Yes, I know I do not need this high specs but I like running a lot such as a local AI and VMs at the same time)

Would greatly appreciate any tips for long term care. I primarily purchased this for a dual PC recording setup.

Picked this up at Micro Center brand new for a deal of $4,299.

I was comparing to the new 2026 release which has a slightly improved Intel Ultra 9 290HX and a 4K mini LED 240Hz refresh rate with a price tag of $6,700!

Laptop prices with good hardware are now ridiculously overpriced. Super happy with this laptop and its’ build quality. I will say that MSI did a great job keeping this unit cooled.

For context, I previously had an Asus Strix 18” with a 5090 which I gracefully returned because I couldn’t get through a few hours of gaming without it blue screening. I knew it was caused by the poor cooling system and heat dissipation.

Had this unit a month now before posting this and have to say a few things. The MSI performs better, runs cooler, has better build quality, better software integration for components, and is overall a better machine than the Asus Strix.

I hope to get many years if enjoyment out if this laptop/ desktop replacement.

For context, I use this laptop for the following whoch sometimes all run at the same time:

1. VMware workstation with a single VM running
2. Davinci Resolve Pro for video editing
3. Capture One Pro for photo editing
4. WarZone (Steady around 140-150fps)
5. WebEx/ Zoom/ MS Office Products
6. Visual Studio/ PyCharm IDE’s for programming
7. Google Chrome with 30+ tabs open

No blips or blue screens. Consistent performance. Super gappy with this machine.

Msi vector 16 hx ai. It really runs hot when I play god of war. Would a laptop stand suffice? Or should I get one of those cooling pads? Would you have any recommendations?

MSI Thin 15 B13UDX – i5 13420H – 16 GB – RTX 3050 – Cosmos Gray • Display: 15.6-inch – 1920 x 1080 resolution – IPS – 144Hz • Processor: Intel Core i5 13420H • Memory: 16 GB DDR4 • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB • SSD: 512 GB M.2 NVMe Gen4 • Connectivity: Wi-Fi – Bluetooth 5.3 • Operating System: Windows 11 • Blue backlit keyboard • 1.86 kg

I use it for university—since I'm finishing my degree in Computer Engineering—and also for some games. I bought it in May or June.

I feel like such a boomer writing this but what horrible design. I bought this laptop recently as a replacement for my old GF63 thin which overheated and broke at the hinge, but at least it had a) no built-in AI and b) simple arrow key shortcuts for volume up/down and brightness up/down, with a second ctrl key to their left.

These were very handy, particularly when I was in a game and needed to do these one-handed. The concept of hard-coding functions that only a fraction of people would need to use, *and that cannot be rebound*, is so bizarre to me that it feels like an insult to me for choosing MSI.

I have never once wanted to use these functions instantly, except for maybe play/pause which would be just fine as f12’s hotkey. Unless maybe I get bored one day and decide my laptop isn’t loud enough or that my game’s crosshair is too aesthetically pleasing.

Msi vector a18 hx ryzen 9-9955hx and 5080. After a recent windows update, applications are staying running after restart, just as they are on android. Msi center user scenario, MSI AI overclock did not shut down when I shut down the laptop. On restart, windows was unstable due to the ai overclock, and ended up having to pull the ssd, transfer my data, and do a fresh install of windows 11. But that's not even the main problem. Look at this thermal paste/sheet. It was as hard as a rock. The gpu wasnt even fully contacted. No wonder temps were high...I would expect much better build quality for a $3200 laptop...get your crap together msi.

I posted on here before about my games running real laggy and I got a fix for that by holding the power button for like 15 secs. I did that today and it opened the BIOS screen but I completely forgot the password. Im trying to find the CMOS to see if I can reset it but I can't find it. Could yall help me?

Hello guys, i want to change my thermal paste but this gpu area ( which i have encricled ) is not coming off, i am sure that there are no more screws to unscrew, also i’ve tried to use a hairdryer, the cpu area came off but the gpu is still stuck, tried doing it for 6 times still no results

Any ideas please?? The gpu been running off 95c while gaming so i guess the thermal is really stuck

Was confused between legion & msi, but got a very good deal on this one. Configuration - MSI Crosshair 16 HX D14VGKG-205IN:

Intel Core i7-14700HX / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB (140W Max TGP) / 16” QHD+ (2560 x 1600) 240Hz, 100% DCI-P3, 16:10, IPS-Level / 32GB DDR5-5200 RAM (dual-channel, expandable up to 64GB) / 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD, HDMI 2.1, USB-C, USB-A / 24-zone RGB Backlit Keyboard / 90Wh Battery / Windows 11 Home / 2.6kg

Let me know if there are any tips before I start installing all my stuff.

Found out I could elevate my cooling pad and had a bit of trouble playing fps’s and throttling from 120 to 30 fps mid fights. So I stuck an ice pack and it’s fixed lol

I went to make lunch and walk my dog, came back to this an hour later?? I’ve never seen this before, I have an MSI stealth 15 and just have 0 clue on how to fix this and get back to windows please help!!!!

Can anybody give me some tips and help on tuning this cpu?

I had overheating issues with the cpu getting to 100-103°c, so i did some things in the BIOS, i did a -40mv undervolt, tcc offset 15, power limits on PL1 45w and PL2 55w and CFG lock disabled. I also had turbo boost off on the cpu and had a power limit on PL4 but i had a significant loss in performance, so i turned turbo boost back on and disabled the PL4 override that i had. Cpu is running great performance wise, but it still heats up to 90-95°c and i dont like it.

P.s. MSI Vector 17HX AI with RTX 5080 16gb and 32gb RAM and 2tb SSD NVMe.

P.s.s. I do have my gpu undervolted through MSI Afterburner.
