Battery failure
The overall performance of the laptop is as expected. The battery could never hold a charge for more than an hour and a half with low power applications and the laptop was returned to LDLC because of this defect.
Take your gaming to the next level with the MSI GL65 Leopard 10SDR-447XFR! This gaming laptop features a 15.6" Full HD 144Hz IPS display and superior performance thanks to its Intel Core i7-10750H processor, 16GB of DDR4 memory, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 1660 Ti graphics chip and 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD.
The 10th generation Intel Core processors offer a 15% performance improvement over the previous generation, including an increased single-core frequency for a smooth gaming experience.
The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics chip puts the graphics performance of the NVIDIA Turing architecture at your disposal. With simultaneous execution of integer and floating point operations, adaptive shading technology, and a new unified memory architecture with twice the cache, Turing shaders deliver industry-leading performance.
On this Gaming Laptop, MSI offers its proprietary Cooler Boost 5 cooling technology that works with two seven-pipe fans designed to expel hot air from the chassis through four different streams. The Cooler Boost 5 technology is specifically designed for laptops that include a high-performance graphics card.
In order to ensure the best possible sound quality, MSI has integrated speakers into the GL65 that have been enlarged in size. The two speakers and the two integrated cabinets are five times larger than in previous generations of notebooks. To make the most of the XL speakers, the Dynaudio audio system ensures accurate and realistic sound for a fully immersive experience.
All the hardware details of this keyboard are designed specifically for the needs of gamers. It's more responsive with a 1.9mm activation distance, offers an optimal ZQSD area and supports multiple inputs to give you more possibilities. The backlit keys will help you use your computer in the dark more easily thanks to the Silver Lining Print feature: the keys offer backlighting of the key contour, not just its base or letter.
This laptop is supplied without an operating system, to allow you to install a compatible operating system (either already in your possession or purchased separately). The installation of Windows 10 64 bits is recommended, to allow you to properly exploit all the possibilities offered by this laptop. Windows 7/8/8.1 cannot be installed on this model.
The local Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) quantifies the user's exposure to electromagnetic waves from the equipment concerned. The maximum permitted SAR is 2 W/kg for the head and trunk and 4 W/kg for the limbs.
All products sold on the LDLC.com website comply with this regulation. The SAR values of the products concerned are indicated on the product sheets in the technical data section.
