MSI GS63 STEALTH-061 15.6" IPS Level Ultra Thin and Light Gaming Laptop i7-7700HQ GTX 1050 2G 16GB 128GB SSD + 1TB, Aluminum Black

So far so good. This is only 24 hours old, but it's a heck of a machine.I had a serious wireless problem with this computer straight out of the box, but after a couple Google searches I was told to update the drivers from MSI.com and I haven't had any problems since.

Overall this is a great laptop. I am writing this review on it and you'll probably notice something that I'll talk about shortly. I upgrade to this machine from a late 2008 Macbook Pro. First the good stuff:1. The hardware you get for the price is awesome. I've ranAAA games like Tomb Raider and XCOM at medium to high specsand it hasplayed wonderfully.2. This laptopis very light, easy to carry around and relatively thin.3. Black aluminium with LED keyboard is pretty sexy.4. Many portsfor all my needs. The HDMI and USB 3.0 portsin particularmake this a very versatile machine for how I use it.Now the bad stuff:1. The spacebar is sticky. You'veprobablynoticed in my post just how sticky it is. Normally I go back and try to fix things but I wanted to illustrate how sticky itis.2. Sound quality is not fantastic. Itplays fine but does not sound as clear as headphones.3. I tried to run Linux Mint 8.3 on thismachine and hadseveral issues with the drivers so I ultimately went back to Windows.Overall this is a greatmachine forthe price, but that damn spacebar does drive menuts.

Product shipped very quickly. It came way before the expected delivery date. The laptop came exactly as I expected. All specs are correct on the actual laptop. As for the laptop itself, mostly everything is great. Keyboard and screen being the biggest pros for this computer to me. I really wanted a laptop that had rbg lighting, especially if I was gonna pay such a great amount. Not only did I get multiple zone coloring, but I also got various color effects. the keyboard mechanics feel amazing! This is probably the best keyboard that I have ever used. Everything is well spaced. Screen is great. Laptop is very thin like advertised, but it does feel a little a heavier than I thought. I no way do I mean that its heavy because this laptop is a great weight an size. Very portable for school and work. Another pro would have to me the minimalist design that this laptop has. Some people like me don't like the gaming type of look that some brands have chosen to go with. This laptop is simply black with a red MSI dragon logo. I would say that the MSI logo lighting up when the computer is on is probably the only way somebody could tell that this is a gaming laptop. The laptops build is great. Compared the the previous HP Omen that I had(and returned), this laptop is amazing. Hinges, buttons, and the laptops aluminum material feel sturdy and strong.On the other hand, some cons would have to be the track pad and the way windows 10 sets up storage. To start with, the track pad really isn't bad or good. It defintely registers most of the touches. But right clicking with it seems impossible at times. So now I have a mouse attached most of the times. It is definetly still usable, just beware of how difficult clicking might be. Secondly, this laptop comes with both an SSD and HDD. Windows is downloaded on the SSD which is good so that everything runs fast. On the other hand, that takes up most of the storage space on the SSD. So because the SSD is the main hard drive, everything that you download off the internet goes to the SSD by default which is annoying because every time to you download a program you now have to make sure that you switch the location of the files so that it goes to the HDD instead. These are really my only complaints for this laptop.In conclusion this laptop is a great buy. The keyboard is the best ive used, and the fact that it has multi zone rgb lighting makes it even better. The screen is also very good. Build quality of the laptop is amazing and it feels great to carry around. Size and weight are as advertised. Not big or heavy. There is a very diverse amount of ports. It contains all the important ports that you may need. The bad parts of this laptop would be how the SSD is the main drive for everything (wouldn't be a big deal if you get a bigger SSD). The track pad is mediocre which is manageable to me because of all the pros of this laptop.

The 15.6 screen is sort of that perfect size for on the go yet its not that big or heavy as to take up space when im in a cafe or whatsoever. The only little thing i have an issue on is that the middle is a bit soft so i tend not to press on it too much, other than that it cools well and performs really good when im doing assignments (Adobe PS, AI, ID, AE)

Beautiful machine, very powerful. Runs games beautifully! There were a couple small compatibility issues with a bluetooth mouse, but over-all I highly recommend, especially for the price

My son really likes this lap top, and he is quite the gamer and hasnt made any complaints. Thank you

best gaming laptop ever

The computer was great when it worked. Speakers died shortly after receiving it. After rebooting the computer, everything started to malfunction. I tried every troubleshooting method suggested to no avail.
