Awesome... The build is good and strong. The texture is really smooth but attracts finger prints. Display is not IPS I guess but it's a wideview which means horizontal viewing angles are good but verticles are bad and has 60hz refresh rates..Display and keyboard brightness are really good. Coming to battery, even at normal use on full brightness it gave me 2 and half hours of charge but it's normal for a gaming laptop and takes very less time for charging. it was upto two hours I guess.It has a 41wh battery. The steel series keyboard is amazing and touch pad is great too but it's it's made of same plastic which was used to build the laptop. The mouse pad gets oily and rubbing it off is not working. 913 GB of space in HDD and 79 GB space in SSD are left for use. Windows is Home edition. Cinebench scores of cpu without undervolt is 1100cb in first attempt and open GL at around 60 fps. The cpu has 6 cores and can handle maybe 12 threads. The fan noise is not an issue. Charger gets really hot but it doesn't if you are not using the laptop on charging. My first choice was Asus tuf whose i5 1050ti was @ 62k on BBD sale but there were many complains about power limiting, stuttering and my second choice was Acer predator helios 300 i7 8th gen which had a price tag of 70k at BBD. But there were many complains telling that only the outside of laptop was of predator and everything else inside was of acer nitro 5, which had a huge negetive impression and besides that, predator had heating issues and everything else was same as my MSI but MSI has great sound and 7 heat pipes. Even though this laptop page has less comments and reviews, I chose it to be the one becoz MSI is damn amazing. It looks premium in hand. what you get with the laptop is only charger. The packing was really good, both from flipkart and MSI. I ordered it on 11 oct and got it on 16 oct which is one day before the expected delivery date 17 oct. What took so many days was packing from the seller. So even tho

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 cooling technology which is most important for a gaming laptops for more hours of gameplay. good performance . high Efficiency

It worked fine in the beginning had no issues with software or hardware, but after using it for six months the hinge got broken by just normal use , I hardly move it around , and not just this one a lot of MSI laptop has these hinge problems so u better know this before you buy this thing. jun 8 2019- It's been like a few months since I bought this laptop and my hinge just broke popping the screen lid open even after using it pretty much gently I was already aware of the MSI hinge problems so I used to open/close it from the dead centre even then it just broke , iam very disappointed with the build quality of this thing. however iam going to reach out to the MSI service in a few days and see if I can make it repair under the warranty and update the review again once iam done with it

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

Everything is good .... but battery backup is way below average .... :-( Anyone having issue with webcam after windows update then please open device manager-->display and then update intel driver. Webcam will start working again.

This is best if you buy with discounts + exchange. I got this for 56k only! There is a small issue with the spacebar on keyboard as it does not register the keystrokes at both ends of spacebar. This is a known issue with msi laptops.

awesome laptop good value for money.1 star deducted bcoz,the finger marks are easily visible on keyboard or near msi logo..but the marks are easily wipeout with dry cloth.. good laptop for gaming and highly professional rendering software's

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

Best Product .I got this at 75k.It is the beast at this price.Boot Is too Fast.Great sound.Battery is average only .Amazing Design.Glowing Dragon.3 level backlight .Best at this price.
