Been using it for over a month now. Let me get straight to the point Pros: Good airflow Great performance Bang for buck Cons:battery life is poor Screen is not that good I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in gaming and multimedia but not for editing

Awesome gaming Notebook in this price range .....i bought this oct 13 2018 and its working good .. it have superb cooling technology . mostly i use it for 3d work like maya zbrush blender ... without any problem all software running awesome and also we play highend games smoothly in this note book

Oh boy, what a beast it is.. Was having lots of doubt between the acer helios 300 and this laptop.. But finally gone for this one after a lot of research.. I'll point out few things which made me buy this over the acer predator.. 1. Acer helios 300 heats a lot.. I mean there are options of undervolting and all, but no one(at least me), wants to do all that with the cpu upon buying a new laptop.. People wants it to be as it is for atleast few months before experimenting.. This MSI laptop is a cool laptop.. There is no heating issues as of now..i have played, just cause3, fifa 18,gta v, cs go, cod mw.. The games are smooth af at high setting.. Heating is not at all evident.. Though playing gta v on high settings, makes it warm, but turn up the fans and its gone.. This is a big point on choosing.......2. The design : The acer predator helios is a bulky laptop.. Though the looks can draw attention with aggressive stips and red exhausts, but that's exactly what i don't want.. I want a laptop to be as decent as to be taken to office.. And as powerful as to play heavy games.. 3. The price : The price difference is not much.. During diwali offer, i got msi @72k where as the helios with i7 8th gen was @76k.. Two cons are there which i believe is negotiable is 1. The battery is too bad, you can hardly get 3 hours on normal browsing and max 1 hr on gaming.. 2. The touch pad is not great.. Overall a bang for the buck.. Go for it

This is the one. Was breaking head over TUF, PREDATOR AND MSI. Even internet didn't help me on this. Went on to buy betting heavy, damn I managed to get the best beast. PROS: 1) It got 3x3.0 usb ports, Predator got only 1. this comes very handy guys. 2) This one got single 8gb Ram(unlike other companies which give 2x4gb rams) 3) Thermal cooling system is best in the business. 4) Not many know that MSI has the best speakers in entire laptop range.(I was surprised, didn't expect that from a laptop) 5) plastic looks cheap, but infact they are more durable than you think. 6) love the MSI Dragon at the back, which lights up. 7) I upgraded to NVME 250gb SSD this laptop supports it.(really guys those who saved on discount sale should consider this NVME upgrade-it will unleash the beast) 8) Steelseries keyboard is great and the feedback is superb. 9) 2yr warranty (additional 3month after registration and survey- I have doubts about this) 10) Fans reach top speeds upto 6000rpm, Which is significantly faster than others in class. and noise is lower than others too. CONSTRAINTS 1) Service centres only in tier 1 cities.(30cities I guess as of now) 2) Vertical Viewing is pathetic (don't worry none of the laptops predator TUF and all, have anything better)

I get it for 73k and it is really worth it in this price of range and cooling system is really awesome but thr looks are not too good But overall all it is a really awesome leptop for gamers and editor's

Pros - Instantly Boots up (thanks to the SSD) - Great Speakers - No heating even on heavy usage - Great Specs in price range - 2 years warranty Cons - Finger print magnet - Touchpad could have been better - Vertical viewing angles are not good - Lots of bloatware with windows 10 Conclusion: Worth the price. Absolute beast in this price range.

Laptop is fine but delivery is pathetic, Display is average, Battery is average, Design is Good, and the most important Performance is Awesome... If you are programmer and part time gamer you must buy it. Don't worry for MSi service center you wouldn't need it... I have Acer Predator and Asus Rog Strix but among them For me this is Perfect. If you wanna Nice battery and Nice diaplay with Performance then you must raise your budget( precisely say above 1.5lakh ).Literally if you are seeing this review then I honestly say that this laptop is not a true beast there are some complications with this but the other aspect of story is you can't get better laptop in the price range of below (80k)... One thing I wanna tell you that don't go on reviews when you purchase this much amount, you must find it on our own, whether this laptop is suitable to you or not, Check how much old the gaming company is, check which parts they are using, Check the future proof of your laptop instead of seeing biased reviews and blindly go for it... So the ultimate decision is yours whether you wanna go for some research or just see the review....

I have been using the lap for 15 days.First of all the design looks so good , a light weight as said ,the body is made of hard plastic not the metal,the sound quality is so good as it comes with nahimic3 it act as a sorround system.The screen looks good only the demerit is it doesnt comes with an IPS display.About the heat, it doesnt gets any heat issues so far thanks the turbo cooling technology used in MSI with two fans and 7 heat pipes.I have been using it for development purpose and the speed is quite good again thanks for the SSD. The issue i have seen is you can see the board on the backside of the lap through the heat ventilation they should have covered it with some thin rubber coatings as an easy chance of dust and water to get through, if cared properly it wont be an issue.About the keyboard the fonts loks really awesome and the keys are much soft.
