    cons - with gf63 is the keyboard ( cant get use it n no numpad ) And would b great if usb c and all sockets were backside of it. Only hdmi is in backside ( thats also something ) Rgb lights, i dont want my laptop shines like at Red Light Street Amsterdam 😂 so i am cool with dimmable Red backlights in the keyboard Will buy spare keyboard to use it at home. Otherwise price/performance he is top level Thin and light. Was aiming to buy Dell g5 series but its charger was only 1,5 kg :))) Got i5 12450 with rtx 3050! Amazing device for 670 euros

    Yep I love mine, I have this but don't game on it since I have a One X, Series X, PS5, Ps3, old 360 and Gaming PC. Yeah I think I'm overkill for gaming tech since I don't game much. BUT that being said this is about 4x more powerful overall than the Steam Deck. But I'll take the deck anyday for what it is. A moving mobile marvel!!

    I bought one on sale at walmart about 6 months ago for 600$ when i was living in my car in between places for entertainment. They also didn't check my receipt or id and i could've easily stolen it had i wanted ( i don't steal but it was strange..) I upgraded the ram to 32 gb and i use it as a dedicated streaming pc to run my capturecard on ultra and OBS while i game from my primary desktop pc. If i have friends over ill use it for a dual pc lan setup. It can run pretty much everything for me but i got every bit of performance out of it by switching the bios to performance, using Standby list cleaner, and adjusting power settings. I also Overclock all my games with the msi center app and vsync everything at 60fps. It is a bit overkill just to run my capture card but it serves its purpose and makes up for its lack of use when i have lan parties. Dont expect to game and stream from this thing at the same time unless you really know what you are doing but i would highly recommend it for what i am doing.

    @@dafuqmr13 i bought a 10$ chillpad and 20$ vornado fan from amazon for it. You put it on the pad raised up and then point the vornado right at the hotspot on the top left. I also set a custom fan curve in the msi center app to increase the fan speeds a bit. Using both of these correctly i get very good cooling. Never overheats at all and i stream on twitch for hours at a time. But without the fans it would melt forsure. But yea i am still really loving this laptop. It actually runs games better than my desktop that has a 2070 in it because the cpu is so much newer.

Which still begs the question "why a 144hz screen". My only guess is that these kids with their crappy first person shooters actually think 144hz helps them play? This laptop might be able to do 144 FPS in counter strike or something i dunno?

    With 32GB RAM, yes. I imagine you're working with long 4K video files over 2 mins each. Even if trimming them to short 5 second clips, the video editing software is still working with the whole file, gobbling up memory.
